Ken Ham and Liberty University are both active in fighting godless science online. Add that in the shit show that is the baby boomer generation being retired, backwards, anti science, hell fucking anti reality, and flush with SSI cash and you really don't need foreign involvement to blame. Ads on Youtube, and promoted channels are not that expensive when you have a house paid off, free health care from the government and a retirement check. Editing to add. After I wrote the original comment I snooped around some of the flat earth and anti science stuff to see more about the people involved. Retirees and you people working with megachurches. And a few weird people here and here.
I've seen some people tactfully keep god in their lives while doing great science, and I'm trying to shy away from phrasing things in a militant tone. At least for now. The opposite comes more naturally anyway. I won't blame any one age bracket, either. My generation has plenty of dumbshits, trust me, and as we've beefed up standardized curriculum and increasingly formalized the classroom, critical thinking has suffered. No time for self-actualization. I'm not sure that those social media accounts have a one-to-one correspondence with American citizens. I'm also quite aware of how conspiratorial all of this must sound. Maybe my refusal to believe in the extent America's ignorance will come back to bite me.
The Big Bang Theory was proposed by the Vatican's Astronomer after looking through Einstein's equations. Darwin was a very devoutly religious man who had major a crisis of faith over evolution. Those are off the top of my head. Newton and Leibniz fought over calculus in part due to the religious differences between the two men. Ken Miller is a devout Catholic who gives pro-evolution speeches and presentations. We could sit here and name thousands of people in this camp. Religion is not the issue. Fanatic, regressive, nutballs are the problem. Ken Ham is a one-man atheist creation engine. Liberty University is using their narrow religious world view to fuck over the country. We could sit here and name thousands of people in this camp. Canada, Australia, UK, Ireland, Turkey, Germany and Russia are putting in a good fight against the American nutballs. I'd love to link a few but screw helping them rise in google searches.I've seen some people tactfully keep god in their lives while doing great science, and I'm trying to shy away from phrasing things in a militant tone.
