Oh goodness. Pat Robertson has gone and warned voters of Dover, Pennsylvania that since they voted out a school board that supported intelligent design<\/a> they’re likely to be struck by disaster.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city…and don’t wonder why He hasn’t helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I’m not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that’s the case, don’t ask for His help because he might not be there,” he said.

Oh wait. On a whim I Googled “Bill Gates” and evolution and only got the evolution of computer soft and hardware and so I Googled “Bill Gates” and “intelligent design” and find it reported that the Gates Foundation has pledged over 9 million dollars in 10 years to the Discovery Institute<\/a> , the very same institute that is pushing Intelligent Design upon us.<\/p>\n

Oh, well never mind me.<\/p>\n

Actually, Gates is funding the Discovery Institute’s Cascadia Project<\/a>, the aim of which is to improve transporation in the northwest. But he’s also paying a big hunk of the salary of the institute’s founder and director, Bruce Chapman.<\/p>\n

But….<\/p>\n

Horseass.org covered back in August why Gates’ relationship to Discovery is extermely relevant<\/a> to their prime agenda, which is, in 20 years, “to see intelligent design theory as the dominant perspective in science” and also “to see design theory permeate our religious, cultural, moral and political life. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
