Creationists Jump the Ark

Oh, the Discovery Institute minions must be wriggling with glee over this one. Apparently bowing to pressure from the Bush administration, Grand Canyon rangers are no longer allowed to tell park visitors how old our most famous chasm is. In order to avoid "offending religious fundamentalists" who seem to think that Noah might have parked his ark there. Seriously, could there be a better time to easily ignore that man, when everything that comes out of his mouth has a 99% chance of being dead wrong? Dear National Park Service: grow a pair, pronto.

We're not going to seethe, we're not going to gnash our teeth and shake our head while muttering, as our passive-aggressive liberal manual says we should. Seattlest has a plan: all of you who wish to pick and choose your science, go right ahead. While you are sorting out what is and is not true, please rebuke all things provided for you courtesy of science. We'll start with the minor things like, oh, electricity.

You give up everything science has gifted you thanks to its "theories" you selectively disparage, and we'll let you carry on your merry way. In the dark. Cold, and without food, heat, clean running water, modern medical health care and other funny-business that science has cruelly and selfishly used to mock and offend your pious, religious sensibilities. We'd encourage you to go inhabit your own world that you could dominate with whatever mind-control tactics you'd like, but you'd need a fucking rocket to get there and you don't get those either.

Are you still standing there? You should have floated off into the atmosphere by now.
