The Idiocy and Pride of Creationist "Academics"

     Now, I may not be an expert on any other matter than my own business, but, I strongly defend the position that one who studies a particular subject is more knowledgeable than I am on the topic. This is one of the reasons I try to keep expanding my repertoire of journals to include topics which do not necessarily interest me, but are of interest to those I befriend, debate, and occasionally troll. The Creationist movement, led by many Evangelicals is fascinating to me, especially the fact that those who adopted this point of view seem to have very little knowledge of Geology, Biology, Anthropology, and even Cosmology. They claim to have better knowledge of their surroundings than those who spent years of their lives studying those topics. I have, unfortunately, encountered a ridiculous comment on a relatively famous theologian's (self appointed) Facebook page. This man holds a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages, and claims that his doctorate, in this topic allows him to have enough critical thinking to analyze complex social trends, as well as biological analyses, and be better informed on human evolution than Biologists and Anthropologists. This man, posted that people who attack him on matters of pathological issues,  and neurology have no leg to stand on because he knows how to do research, though his opponents are obviously not versed well enough in his particular brand of make belief to point out the fallacies in the subject.

     On a second point, I would also like to denounce the absolute hypocrisy held by Creationists, that they, themselves are academics, though, the entire world of academia is a perversion of study. That's right folks, the very same people whose purpose in life is to indoctrinate children (see Jesus Camp on  Netflix) and to reject the concepts proven by scientific advances, are claiming that universities (the pesky public type) are indoctrination centers. Pretty fucking hilarious, if you ask me, especially considering the amount of different opinions found in any given public campus,which, unlike religious, private (for profit) "colleges and universities" will only tolerate a single point of view: that of the school's leadership. Some of those private "schools" only require you to go there for two years to get a "Doctorate" for which the dissertation "consists of 10-15 pages with a minimum of five (5) outside sources other than the syllabus and the Bible". Seriously? A dissertation being 10-15 pages? I've had undergrad classes which required at least 20! What a crock of shit! 5 sources? are you serious? 5 sources wouldn't even fill an 8 page paper! What in the Actual fuck is going on?

     This is what we are fighting, folks, the absolute ignorance forcefully fed to these guys, as well as the illusion of the mastery in their topic. A 10-15 page dissertation! well, at least if you're going to be talking about imaginary crap, you might as well make it short, I mean, your brain can only handle making shit up for so long, especially when you are to use 5 sources, which would have to concur with your batshit insane conclusion! But, please tell me how a 150-500 page dissertation with well over 100 sources, all from reputable publications, is trumped by your awesomesauce 10-15 page pamphlet. Or at least explain how you are a master of every single subject, and no one but you is knowledgeable about your brand of batshit crazy! Creationists, so-called "Academics" who cherry pick their sources in order to embolden their cult followers, know that you are on your way to extinction. No more, will we wait for the crazy to lead us, no more will unreasonable thought processes be guiding our way, no more of your exclusion based belief shaping our society. Sure, a few will remain faithful to their religion, and that is fine, while you pray to your impotent bearded sky Tinkerbell, ask to be treated with the respect and dignity any human being deserves, and not the way you have treated those who disagree with you for centuries! But know this, those secularists, atheists, humanists, and liberals you hate so much will treat you a million times better than you have in the past. We will not hunt you down, we will not torture you until every shred of humanity which was once yours leaves your body, we will only make sure your antiquated rules only apply to you and yours, and that your limits are only imposed on you, and not those who believe differently than you do!
