Creationism is a big deal down here in the deep south

Hi Vince. I can see Darwin's old stamping ground, Shrewsbury, from my window. Creationism isn't a big deal there, or in a lot of the States I guess. His ideas have had 150 years to soak into the soil in most of the world and were confronted and resolved by your and my gt grandparents probably. Yet creationists seem to act as though the ideas are new and a danger to society. I suppose they ARE scary if your world view is dictated by one small part of a two thousand year old manuscript.

It crosses my mind to ask a simple question - why should they care so much? If God flicked the switch why is it an assault on his prestige to suggest how things developed thereafter? He's still the Creator.

Then it comes to me..... what they really don't like is the Book being disrespected because that makes their belief in it's literal nature look stupid. It's all about them....
