yeah - i have this freaking insane aunt, she's a religious whackjob. She actually started a conversation with me at thanksgiving like this:
"So Rob - with all that new genome-mapping stuff and all the new scientific information, how do you feel about it pretty much disproving evolution?"
Later, after I'd cleaned up the turkey I'd spit all over my father due to shock, I tried to explain to her the latent lunacy in such a statement . . . she was not having it at all, and kept using the bible as a primary source. Sorry! Doesn't work in a scientific discussion - this is the same book that gives the value of pi as 3 (apparently God doesn't use decimal places) . . . now I consider myself a fairly religious person, but doesn't it make more sense to reconcile your faith with the workings of the universe, and not the other way around?
Can't wait for Christmas, when I'll most likely have to listen to her nascent whinings about some topic, using "stuff i read on the internet" as her proof (along with, of course, random biblical passages that don't say anything even out of context).
