“Everything has its place. is science. is a fundamentalist religious belief”

The above statement is taken from the text below which is a comment made about an article published in The Lang Report titled, "Sarah Palin Wants Creationism Taught in School." We rarely feature a comment, however I found it ironic and refreshing to read one made by a foreigner. Thank you Andras.

I am not American but I always admired America for their world lead in technology and sciences. Now it looks like to me that America will lose not only their economic leadership but also their scientific leadership as well if they want to bring back  the middle ages to their schools.  Its a real shame. The world is already looking at this debate over creationism or evolution in a disbelief. 400 years ago in Europe a similar dispute was going on with Galileo Galilei.  Whether the earth is flat or not , or it is the center of the universe or not. 

Since then Europe separated church from state and we teach theories based on scientific evidence not religious beliefs in our public schools   Everything has its place. Evolution is science. Creationism is a fundamentalist religious belief.  Dear Americans, don't let your schools sink to the level of muslim fundamental countries where state and church are not separated. Your are ruining your position in the world. Sarah Palin can easily become president, because McCain is very old. Do you want a religious fundamentalist to govern your country?

No Andras…I do not want a religious or any other kind of fundamentalist govern my country
