Why Our Country Needs Informationalism

I think this article says it all my friends:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070218/ap_on_re_us/evolution_jews

Here is the website: http://www.fixedearth.com/

State Rep. Ben Bridges of Georgia has been affiliated with a memo passed around the political scene which decries Science and attempts to replace it with the Pseudoscience of a man named Marshall Hall. Hall is the President of the "Fair Education Foundation". The name of the organization itself is an example of the disinformation that those frightened of the freedom of information will promote. There is no fair education for this man, there is only the age old attempt of those who fear the future and wish to silence it in the name of piety.
To sum up this ridiculous website promoted by a ridiculous excuse for a representative. It attempts to show the public how the modern model of the universe and evolution are mere products of a "zionist agenda". Of course, one wonders why they chose to lump these two areas of study together specifically. It is because they are both threats to Christianity.
Informationalism wishes to promote the freedom of information. There is no problem with the creation of such information, the problem is that this website parades incorrect information as correct information. By doing this it also engages in disinformation. The result? A deliberate misleading of the public. This website is fraud; it is an example of all that a society without freedom of information can be subjected to.
A final thought. Imagine if a child who knew little about the subject were to stumble upon this website. The influence that it could have upon their ability to think critically would be catastrophic. For the sake of free information and free society we must let it be known that fraud and disinformation cannot be tolerated.

Yikes! After a sentence or two, Enough was Enough! ; (

One surely needs to read as much as possible these days, and be objective, no matter what.

Religious Zealots are just that! ; (

Thanks for stopping by The Katrinacrat. Yep those zealots are taking insane to a while new level.

It seems they have reversed course and are now trying to speed back in time. Good luck with that folks, but most of us aren't going there.

media or opinions could really influence someone who is not really familiar with a topic

Mr. Hall suffers from an incredibly high degree of conceit. God puts His universe where everyone can see and appreciate it. However, Mr. Hall wants God's creation to fit the Hall model rather than the real one. What an arrogant man he is.
