“The criteria calls for a renewed emphasis on man-caused climate change and, of course, evolution. Evolution , atheistic, nihilistic, materialistic, mindless evolution must be taught as fact, without other ideas presented to compete with the theory. ”

Replace the evolution with the word gravity and see how silly this attempt at demonizing sounds. Also there isn’t really any other ideas that compete with the theory of evolution. Lamarckian was debunked long ago.

“Some religions don’t gel with science, religions like Scientology or, say, Atheism. The followers of the COA (Church of Atheism) are not only hostile to science, they are aggressively allergic to history and philosophy as well. “They are the ones who constantly need to alter and warp these subjects, so as to fit them all in their tiny little box of nihilism and emptiness.”

Sounds like the crazy book this fool is writing from here, does it have dragons, demons, wizards & angels from revelations too? Atheism and nihilism are separate things, its quite uncommon to find an atheist who is also a nihilist. We can just point to young earth creationists who say things like the Loch Ness monster is real and that somehow disproves evolution as a contradiction to that.

“Yes, faith and belief are important, but you, my Christian compatriot, are standing on the Mountain of Truth. You have the high ground. YOU have the facts and the science on your side. Your faith does NOT conflict with science.”

Actually your religion does conflict science or you wouldn't be here whining so much. Faith is the anti-thesis to science, faith is belief in things unproven, science is the thirst to observe, learn and prove things real & repeatable. Christians do not have facts and science on their side. This ranter may want to do a bit more research on Copernicus and Galileo, which were both labeled as heretics for their findings and one was almost excommunicated from the church, the other his book came out after his death.
