Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

Great Cartoon, the whole thing simplified.
A theory is a theory right? So why doesn’t my theory equal your theory?
The answer is that a Scientific Theory has to meet certain rules, and guidelines. It must be something that can be questions, tested, and analyized.
If you say that there are little green men on Mars, you have to show some proof that they are there, explain how they can exist and survice on Mars, and why they are little, and why they are green.
To say that it is Gods Will is not a Theory, it is a belief, and just because you believe something doesn’t makes it true.
After all there are those who believe that the GOP is the party of the little people, and care about American values.

Only ideas which are substantiated by reality are good. Like, the Republicans are bigots who prey upon the uneducated with fear. Since Reagan they have destroyed the middle Class doing it.

Lets see here evolution is not a settled science. There are million of years that Humans were not around and we can only guess what whats going on. But there is a lot of good science out there about it. Man made global warming is a hoax! so what is the problem? Reagen and the R are bigots and blah blah blah… go under conspiracy tab. Speaking of Conspiracies instead of the moon landing it should say 9/11 inside job. speaking of that has anyone heard from “human” since some guy opened fire on the pentagon?

No - that idiot is a school board, telling teachers what to teach.

Well, it takes a lot of effort. In fact, all of his waking hours. The key is making sure that you use the “right” sources. In his/her case, anything but well studied, peer-reviewed literature.
(And I say that as a professional evolutionary biologist. Ain’t no way harleyquinn has read and really understood the import of the data and experimentation supporting evolution.)

Unfortunately, kreole, that man IS teaching in far too many places.

The “Teacher” has a list of names for scientific theorists on his right but only wacky theories on his left. Shouldn’t there be a list of conspiracy theorists there, not their theories. Hmm? Robertson, Limbaugh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?

Thank you, M. Kitt. I live in Texas, and I and my colleagues have to put up with this nonsense constantly, with respect to many scientific issues.
It often seems like the Enlightenment never happened, or, perhaps more correctly, that many political groups wish that it hadn’t.

Maybe we should let Texas secede and all the right wing believers and religious nuts move there and stay away from the rest of us. Build a big wall around it while we’re at it. And cut off communication so we don’t have to listen to them.
