Anti-intellectual fundie nutcases will be the death of America,
either literally (as in nuclear war, plague, or famine) or
economically (as in we'll be out-competed in every technical
field by every other nation on this planet).

"However, the age of the earth, and the universe, is no more a matter of religious faith than is the question of whether or not the earth is flat.

It is a matter of overwhelming scientific evidence. To maintain a belief in a 6,000-year-old earth requires a denial of essentially all the results of modern physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology and geology. It is to imply that airplanes and automobiles work by divine magic, rather than by empirically testable laws."
