Scott Dikkers is the Editor of the Onion newspaper and as most of you are probably aware it is a satirical magazine. As funny as his newspaper is, I expected more humor from his speech. I guess it’s hard for atheists to be humorous when it comes to knocking creationists (their hatred and intolerance seems to override their humor):

So I thought, we should, as a society, bar anyone who doesn’t accept evolution from partaking of any technological advance derived from the science that makes evolution true. No access to modern medicine, no access to basic biological, chemical products or knowledge. You want to heat up your food before you eat it? Sorry. You’re eating your meat raw because you don’t believe in germs. And forget antibiotics. You’re on your own. You’re welcome to pray for a better life, but you can’t use science. That’s cheating because you don’t believe in science. If people want to live in the 17th century, let them.

Typical. Limiting the freedom of others seems to be the first response of some on the left. Why not just throw the creationists in jail for re-education. Nothing like group think, huh? And of course scientist have never been wrong, why not put our complete trust in their theories even though they have yet to determine with certainty how our world was created from nothing. No one has even come close.
