people like this have internalized science as anathema to christian beliefs. its fukked up but its what happens when you dumb down a country for 20+ years. they view "science" as some sort of atheistic 'religion' that requires belief. like if you dont believe in something, it cant happen to you. thats why measles are back.
these people should be handling snakes at a barn revival somewhere, not working in government. im talking super stupid. like i wouldnt be surprised if they saw the 'homo' in homogenized milk and thought it makes you gay.
i do think science and religion can coexist. just look at the islamic golden age as a historical example

but america has generated some of the most useless and low vibrational humans in human history. were not just cattle, we accept being cattle and pride ourselves on it. "america has its problems but i wouldnt wanna live anywhere else" etc. consume, work, reproduce, pollute, die.
weve been in a new dark age since 9/11. theres nowhere to go but down
