Scalia Blows Creationist Dog-Whistle

[The Rabbi]

Perhaps he meant civilzation rather than humanity. I'll give him that.

I think Scalia meant what he said but couched what he said, probably so he wouldn't have his non-scientific feet held to the fire.

Excerpted below is Scalia's dissent in Louisiana's case Edwards vs. Aguillard.

(2)The body of scientific evidence supporting creation science is as strong as that supporting evolution. In fact, it may be stronger…. The evidence for evolution is far less compelling than we have been led to believe. Evolution is not a scientific “fact,” since it cannot actually be observed in a laboratory. Rather, evolution is merely a scientific theory or “guess.”… It is a very bad guess at that. The scientific problems with evolution are so serious that it could accurately be termed a “myth."

(3) Creation science is educationally valuable. Students exposed to it better understand the current state of scientific evidence about the origin of life.

He's right, of course. The evidence for classic Darwinian evolution--man evolved from apes--is non-existent.

No wonder you're so confused.
The science says humans and apes had a common ancestor. Do some reading.

"The science" says nothing of the sort. Leave this discussion to adults, please.

Bullshit

LOL. About the most articulate you ever get.
You're dismissed.

Liberals are full of bile and vinegar, and this thread proves it. How do go to sleep at night, with so much hatred boiling in your system?

 

[depotoo]

Actually only since the 1970's or so, according to most of their graphs

BTW, AGW alarmists believe the earth has only been around since the 1880's.

 

[Blackrook]

By the way, saying that humanity is 5000 years old is not the same as saying Earth is 5000 years old.

So this whole thread is based on total stupidity.

Justice Scalia Blows Creationist Dog-Whistle During Graduation Speech At Catholic High School

by Ian Millhiser
June 5, 2015

Justice Antonin Scalia spoke on Thursday at his granddaughter’s graduation from a Catholic high school in Bethesda, Maryland. During the speech, however, the sitting Supreme Court justice offered a subtle nod to young earth creationism, the belief that that the earth was created by God and is only several thousand years-old.

“Class of 2015, you should not leave Stone Ridge High School thinking that you face challenges that are at all, in any important sense, unprecedented,” Scalia said, adding that “Humanity has been around for at least some 5,000 years or so, and I doubt that the basic challenges as confronted are any worse now, or alas even much different, from what they ever were.”

Humanity began to develop much more than 5,000 years ago. Early human ancestors began to diverge from the chimpanzee lineage about six million years ago. The first members of the species Homo sapiens are believed to have lived in Africa about 100,000 years ago, and cave paintings and other evidence of human culture exist that are believed to have been created 50,000 years ago.

<snip>

It's unbelievable to me that goofballs like Scalia and others on the SCOTUS will be deciding whether or not millions of Americans will be able to see a doctor or vote, or if it's OK for someone to buy politicians or if foreigners can buy our politicians or...

Gee a think progress far left blog site making more fiction for the far left drones to follow without question or hesitation.

And yet-----and yet you're unable to even try to dispute anything in the OP article, why is that?

[C_Clayton_Jones]

And the ridiculous right comes flocking to Scalia's defense simply because he's a fellow conservative, although however it's spun, Scalia's statement is factually wrong: humanity with regard to its existence and as civilization has existed for well over 5000 years, a fact beyond dispute.

Once again the irony impaired far left drones and their comments.

See how they will believe the fiction from the far left drones sites like the one in the OP?

And you're another ridiculous rightist coming to Scalia's defense solely because you perceive him as a 'fellow conservative,' having nothing whatsoever to do with the merits of his statement.

 

[Mac1958]

Easily one of the most fascinating behaviors of partisan ideologues is the way they attack those on the "other side" for doing things they themselves do.

And they literally don't even see it.

The two ends have so many similarities.

Always an interesting psychological/sociological/anthropological study.
