Constitution proves Creationism & Refutes Evolution

The wingnuts on the religious right have topped themselves, if that's possible. Here are their latest reasoned arguments on why evolution must be wrong and creationism correct. From the Eagle Forum:

Fact v. Fiction #1: Some evolutionists who claim to be Christians — but also evolutionists who label themselves "theistic evolutionists" — argue that God could have used the evolutionary process hypothesized by Darwin to create the universe. But evolutionism reduces man to an animal. Theism, conversely presents man as made in the image of God. If man is an animal, but man is also made in the image of God, what does that make God?

Fact v. Fiction #2: Evolutionists claim that their battle against creation-science is primarily a "scientific" issue, not a constitutional question. But our treasured U. S. Constitution is written by persons and for persons. If man is an animal, the Constitution was written by animals and for animals. This preposterous conclusion destroys the Constitution. The Aguillard Humanists leave us with no Constitution and no constitutional rights of any kind if they allow us to teach only that man is an animal.


Boy, does that convince me. God, of course, can't be an an-i-mal. That's too gross for words. Yuck!

I don't know. Arguments like that one might actually prove that at least part of evolutionary theory is wrong: maybe we're not terribly highly evolved after all. I mean, salamanders* seem fairly bright in comparison.

*Those salamanders that are left that is. (Why is it that Creationists are not also the world's foremost ecologists and conservationists? Seems to me that if I believed that such creatures as salamanders were deliberately and "intelligently" designed and made by God, then I would be loathe to see their kind made extrinct or put at risk. Either God might be pretty mad [the word "sin" comes to mind], or we might be destroying things that God put in the world for a larger, "intelligent" purpose, and thereby hurting ourselves and the whole fabric of creation [the word "sin" remains in mind]. The fact that Creationists don't think like this more or less proves that they are not truly thinking in any scientific or other rational and consistent [theological, for example] manner. Rather Creationism is an exercise in petty control or some sort of game to maintain certain appearances.)
