Comments on: Maine school board: teach creationism or drop evolution http://ianramjohn.wordpress.com/2008/05/11/creationism-in-maine/ Science, religion and politics from a Trinidadian plant ecologist Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:53:35 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Billy Simons http://ianramjohn.wordpress.com/2008/05/11/creationism-in-maine/#comment-2386 Billy Simons Sat, 27 Dec 2008 02:27:43 +0000 http://ianramjohn.wordpress.com/?p=751#comment-2386 The Evolutionist and the Creationist and all the rest of you people have got to stop worrying about where you came from and wake up. The world's population is now 6.8 Billion people. Experts predict by the year 2050 the world's population will be 9.1 Billion people. That will be an increase of 2.3 Billion people in just 41 years. The United States population is now 305,000,000 people. The U.S. had an increase of 11,000,000 people from 2003 to 2008. That means if 1,000,000 people committed suicide every year for the next 5 years the U.S. population would still increase by 6,000,000 people. In Japan they have already cut back to one child per family. And even then their population will still continue to grow. If there is poverty and starvation now what do you think it will be like in 4 or 5 hundred years? Scientists have already said that there is a hole in the ozone layer. If people continue to over populate and the ozone layer disappears your future generations are going to suffer one hell of a disaster. When the earth gets piled up with about 50,000,000,000 people and the ozone layer disappears your generations are going to see hell like they've never seen hell before. It will be like a freight train going 200 miles an hour running into a steel wall 100 foot thick. There won't be any survivors. There are only two ways to stop this from happening. The first way is to stop creating and tell your children when they grow up not to create. The second way is to get about 6,000,000,000 people to committ suicide and leave the other 800,000,000 people behind to repopulate. So if you do not do anything and your generations don't do anything then there will be "HELL" on earth. When that hell happens there won't be anyone there that I have created. When I go to the dust I am taking my generations with me. And I would advise you to do the same. Suicide or stop creating.

I went to school there, I went to the guy's church. Matt Linkletter isn't some radical bible thumper - he's a smart guy. He didn't make this assertion as some decree, he simply tabled a motion at a school board meeting - the board has yet to even discuss the issue. Further, Matt isn't saying "teach creationism or drop both" as you erroneously headlined (so I guess anyone can be a "journalist" on the internet eh?). He quite clearly indicated that neither should be taught. Do I agree with him? No. But it's buttheads like you who MAKE IT AN ISSUE, as though there's some life and death struggle between science and religion. Big news flash: science leaves room for god - you'll never get rid of it, and you give us science teachers a bad name when you try. You folks don’t know what you’re talking about.

If this is happening in the North East of the United States that gives a real indication about how bad it is in general (although Maine is definitely more backwoodsish than say Massachusetts or Connecticut).
