There is quite a long history of charismatic fleecer preachers. Megachurches and the Christian industry is quite lucrative. I will probably join in a decade or two.

Edit: Catholic Church even suffered a Reformation movement to counter their fleecing. Now there just needs a movement to counter the molesting.

One would think an idea like the Big Bang would be easy for theologists to reinterpret and co-opt into their theology.

It's funny you would say that.  The Term "Big Bang theory" was coined by it's critics in order to denigrate it.  They felt it seemed to much like creationism.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

George Lemaitre was a Jesuit priest. The pope even offered to make the big bang catholic doctrine. Theologists usually do like the Big Bang, until they hear about the details.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Why don't you give it a rest?

Can one of the Languish GOPTards explain to me why these guys are always Republicans and never Democrats?

Makes sense. He is white, angry, old, lives in a gated community, and he only accepted his closeted gay son back into his house when the kid got the living crap beat out of him by some thugs.

Yeah, I know it's technically possible to fail to understand/disbelieve in basic science concepts and still successfully diagnose illnesses and treat disease, in the same manner that it's technically possible to think that summary executions are the best justice policy while zealously representing criminal defendants in court, but nonetheless I'm not sure I would personally feel comfortable hiring either.

Indeed, much better for them to be doing relatively harmless things like making laws.  :)

Worked for Bill Frist.  He could diagnose vegetative states from television.

Yea I don't find it that weird. AFAIK doctors don't have a reputation as exceptionally rational.

It's still kinda worrying when an MD says that what he's been taught about embryology were lies from hell.
