Predictably, WND has tantrum over DeGrasse's "Cosmos"

WND's Farah Goes On Anti-Science Rant Against 'Cosmos' Series

WorldNetDaily's Joseph Farah is not a big fan of science. He's even less of a fan of the new Neil DeGrasse Tyson-hosted "Cosmos" series. Why? He writes in his March 13 WND column:

The show includes a “Cosmic Calendar,” which asserts the scientifically unprovable notion that the history of the universe spans 13.8 billion years.

It promotes the unscientific nonsense of climate change and neo-Darwinism.

Experience more of Joseph Farah’s no-nonsense truth-telling in his books, audio and video products, featured in the WND Superstore

But, most of all, it deliberately and consciously undermines the possibility that God actually created the universe and made man in His own image, as the Bible records.


Farah then goes on a full-throated screed against science:

Here we go again!

Haven’t we heard all this before?

When will the same scientists who promote man-made catastrophic climate change and Darwinism as gospel truths be forced to apply the scientific method to their theories?

When will the public recognize that such beliefs are inherently “religious” because they start with presuppositions that can never be discredited regardless of the evidence?

When will everyone see through the fact that we now have a scientific establishment that is politically driven and government funded – a combination more dangerous than when the church was in charge?

When will the closed-minded scientific establishment that promotes this propaganda consider the possibility that they do not have a monopoly on truth – and stop blacklisting the increasing number of scientists who see design in every part of the universe?


When will Farah actually do a little investigative work and examine the scientific evidence that supports evolution and man-made climate change?

When will Farah stop assuming that everyone who disgrees with him is not only wrong but evil?

1. Intellectualism was almost dead until this courageous scientist stepped into the void ...

[Vashta Nerada]

2. That article is anti - intellectualism at its finest.

Farah's article, that is.

[Archae]

3. Of course. People actually critically think, they reject right-wing propaganda.

And that hurts Farah in his wallet.

7. My answer to this question.

"When will Farah actually do a little investigative work and examine the scientific evidence that supports evolution and man-made climate change? "

Right after he uses the scientific method on his religion!

9. The answer to your two questions is on a bumper sticker

The Bible said it. I believe it. End of discussion.

Remember always: there are people trying to get Pi changed because the Bible says a circle's circumference is three times the diameter. You can prove it isn't with a cloth tape measure - no fancy science stuff, just get a 10" wood disc and wrap a tape around it. The Bible sez pi is 3 and that's all you need to know.

10. Probably will get killed by the anti-believers

but I am a believer. More of buddhist Christian actually.

I was watching some shows last night on the science channel (not sure) about the universe. And other universes. The important role that black holes play and that there are black holes everywhere out there. And about how amazing moons are and what an important part they play in stabilizing our universe.

It was so amazing. And so incredibly beautiful. The whole thing just takes your breath away.

I look at all that science and I wonder how you could possibly not believe in a God. It is just so wondrous. I honestly just don't think there is anyway that all of that could have just happened by accident one day way back when.

And I also think that everything that the study of astro physics has discovered about what we are really made of clear down on the atomic level is just as miraculous.

It is all just astounding.

11. The Fact Challenged Crowd

This person and others amaze me, they are the same as the spook believers who beleaguered and killed scientists centuries ago because the scientists dared to say the earth rotated around the sun, not the other way around.

I also laughed about the take that an increasing number of scientists believe this nonsense - what, from 1-2 %? Just the same as the climate change deniers.

The beginning of time and things is mysterious, nobody knows for sure why something sprang out of nothing. But it did, here we are and there is now verifiable proof that all this creationism earth is only 6,000 years old stuff is lunacy. Just incredible that here in the early 21st century people still want to stick their head in the sand - and are trying to get this fable put in kid's textbooks.
