OMG! I can't believe my eyes

I was catching up on my Bloglines account today and noticed a post by Adam Bosworth. This BBC article is unbelievable.

Millions of Americans, most of them supporters of the Republican party, believe that the world was created only a few thousand years ago as per the account in Genesis and the dinosaurs can only date from then, so the Tyrannosaurus Rex romped around with Adam and Eve.

...

But evangelical Christians, operating inside the Republican party ... are campaigning, for instance, to tell visitors to the Grand Canyon that this wondrous sight is not millions of years old, which it is.


I've heard such nonsense before. And that's why we left and moved here. Isn't it ironic?
