GOD Colbert is just awesome

Here is a thought for you - Listening to this guy made suddenly consider, this isn't really about religion. It is the rebirth of a Luddite movement, coupled onto religion to drive the engine
 
This guy said Thomas Jefferson was a "fellow religious conservative". Hasn't read much Jefferson I see.

The rest of his rambling is just typical fundie claptrap.
 
Mcleroy: "I never said that..."
Colbert: "Well, I choose to believe that it is true..."

One of the greatest refutations of the entire anti-science movement.
 
Grrr... video not available for your location ...

He is verrrrrrrry funny and sooooooooo true!

Al the shows on CTV and CTV-2 are available on-line. For the most recent couple of episodes. Just go to shows.ctv.ca

My Rogers Internet connection seems to hick-cup a bit but it maybe because I watch using my rather old note book computer.

Advantages over live are far fewer commercials and you can pause.
:th:

Don McLeroy is a Creationist because he's a skeptic.

Heh, exactly.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. And then when I looked at the evidence for evolution... I found it unconvincing, so uh... I don't think he used evolution to do it."


That's some pretty hardcore skepticism, I tell ya!
 
Great interview by Colbert. The context of what Joobz mentioned is really needed.

McLeroy: When it gets to those good old evolutionists, they would have us believe so much that needs to be explained by ungodly natural processes, and frankly if you look at the complexity the cell--I’m a skeptic. I’m a skeptic. When I see that all this is a result of ungodly processes and see how complex it is, so I have become a Creationist.
Colbert: OK. So, how do you believe the world began, how long has it been here, and did we share the planet with dinosaurs?
McLeroy: Yes.

Colbert: Human beings and dinosaurs walked side by side?
McLeroy: That is my personal belief.
Colbert: That’s your personal scientific view?
McLeroy: Absolutely.
Colbert: I agree with you. Science can be a personal choice.

Later...

Colbert: But the changes that you called for in the textbook aren’t just evolution, you also wanted to remove references to Thomas Jefferson and his importance in the founding fathers. Why was that?
McLeroy: Actually, that’s not true.
Colbert: I have personally chosen that it is true.

ZING!!!! :D

(Not to mention the zingers inbetween!)

I thought the best, and most astonishing part was how this interview reveals that basically the contents of textbooks in virtually the entire USA are hugely influenced by a handful of utter idiots.
I thought that was quite an eye-opener.

To be fair, they're not quite such a bunch of idiots since we dumped McLeroy.

If you want a real scary thought, the man is a dentist. He's been through college and dental school - surely at some point during that process he heard some science. Can you imagine letting him come near you with a dental drill?

Good to hear. Was he actually dumped because he's an idiot?

Actually, yes I can, since that is more of an engineering job. You know, stewards of the earth etc. I have quite a few very competent Christian engineers as colleagues, and I'm fairly sure some of them are at the very least creationists. Young or Old Earth I don't know, though.

Another thing I don't know is how they do that.

The most astounding thing about McElroy out promoting The Revisionaries is that he cannot come across as anything other than the villain...


... though, now that I think about it, I'm sure Creationists and other wingnuts will think he's a hero standing up for, well, something.
