Shows just how stupid the creationists are when it comes to real science, but how good they are at playing to people hysterical fears and prejudice.

When you're a child you think the grown-ups have it all figured out,
then one day you realize they're just bigger kids, often with larger dumb ideas.
I long for the day when science, common humanity, and critical thinking
finally win over superstition, fear, and intellectual laziness.

He even went on Colbert's show, and proceeded to make a complete ass of himself.
