It seems the church-going folks in Kansas want to go back to the dark ages before Darwin and evolution. I guess there's another state that I'm afraid to visit, if only because the buildings and bridges might not hold up for long. Maybe I can allow myself to fly over it in an airplane if I'm going cross country.

I had this brilliant idea that people who don't believe in evolution are the same people who only take parts of the bible they agree with. Like they take the part about homosexuality being a sin seriously, but don't take working on Sunday (and stoning to death all those who do work on Sunday) as seriously. In other words, they are career hypocrites -- hypocrites to the point of not knowing they are being illogical. I understand better people who take everything in the Bible as rote truth or falseness, but to take one part and not other parts seems random, Bible-A-La-Carte. You either believe it entirely or not. [Actually, this idea is covered well in the book titled: "Crimes Against Logic".]
Most people in the US today live in a modern society which science has built. And science as a method and field of knowledge tends to stick together. Rules proven in one field affect others. The science which proves evolution is how man came into being is the same science that makes cars and computers run. It's nonsensical to take one part of science and disbelieve the other.
