Mr. M, I care that young people, with their whole lives in front of them (barring disaster), are being fed a bunch of wild guesses, half-truths and out-right lies in what passes for public school these days. I care that the US government, in the name of the first amendment, has decided that traditional and historical observational science must be replaced everywhere with the atheistic belief system of evolution with no more than the guesses of avowed atheists and "agnostics" with no possibility of debate or opposition -- in a "free land" where the free exchange of information and knowledge should be the norm.

But mostly, I care that men and women choose to turn from - and against - the precious truths of the gospel. Yes, I can PREACH on my blog if I want to. I am offended by your character assassination of those you do not know, calling them "religious nuts" for simply speaking of things you do not understand. I am offended by your calling solid observational science "crap." But most of all, I am offended by those who presume upon themselves to vainly pronounce the God of the universe to be a "zap-god."

You, Mr. M, have no authority to grant "more power" to anyone, much less to those who have more "power" than you could ever have. I know that you are just using that phrase as a figure of speech, but it seems so inappropriate anyway. No one needs permission to believe - or to be skeptical - especially not in the USA.
