Ann Coulter on evolution (again)

Ann Coulter on evolution:

Q. Most people consider evolution to be a branch of science, or at least a scientific theory, yet in "Godless," you refer to it as a "cult" and a "fetish." What is your basis for calling it that?

A: There is no evidence that it is true. The fossil record contradicts it, and it is a theory that cannot be disproved. Whatever happens is said to "prove" evolution. This is the very definition of a pseudoscience, like astrology.

Let's remember that Dembski was "in constant correspondence with Ann regarding her chapters on Darwinism".

According to her interview with Matt Lauer on the Today Show, Coulter believes everything she wrote in the book:

LAUER: Do you believe everything in the book or do you put some things in there just to cater to your base?

COULTER: No, of course I believe everything.

Apparently, she has this to say about 9/11 widows who protest the actions of the administration:

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband's death so much"

Wow. A class act if ever there was one.

You know, from time to time I think that Coulter couldn't get more insane. And every time she fools me. Even Limbaugh and O'Reilly have their heads screwed on tighter than this.

I think what annoys me the most is the evidence of her book sales that show we live surrounded by people like her.

Who does she sleep with to get on television?

This site has a preview of chapter one of her new book: http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/anncoulter/2006/06/06/199800.ht…

Frankly, I couldn't get through it. She riffs on so many topics in one long stream of consciousness polemic that my eyes glazed over while my blood pressure rose. No way I will be able to read the whole book, nor I would I wish to enrich her any more than I can.

Newsmax has a piece on the book:

Coulter devotes the last 80 pages to her full-scale attack on the theory of evolution and the utter dishonesty of what she calls the "Darwiniacs" and their refusal to face the fact that evolution is a patent absurdity, according to Coulter, credible only to those who will find any reason to deny the existence of God.

"The fundamental difference between our religion and theirs is that theirs always tells them what they want to hear," Coulter declares.

"Darwinism never disappoints the liberals. They never say 'Well, I'd like to have cheap meaningless sex tonight, but that would violate Darwinism.' They can't even say 'I'd like to have cheap meaningless sex tonight with a goat, but that would violate Darwinism.' If you have an instinct to do it, it must be evolved adaptation. Liberals subscribe to Darwinism not because it's science, which they hate, but out of some wishful thinking. Darwinism lets them off the hook morally."

With Pontius Pilate, the Darwiniacs ask "what is truth?" Their answer: Whatever they want it to be.

"The truth," Coulter writes, "is the truth whether we like it or not."

'I'd like to have cheap meaningless sex tonight with a goat, but that would violate Darwinism.'

So is Coulter saying she does not have sex with goats only because it violates her Christianity? I suppose that the only reason she spews venom and hatred rather than killing people herself is that it violates Christianity. For the sake of goats and rational people everywhere let us hope she does not lose her faith.

Ms. Coulter is, I guess, a model of a religious alternative to Darwinism. But what religion could it be? Is she supossed to show us how we should think and behave?

Somehow I don't think she would like to be treated as she treats others. But then again, what do "liberals" know about respect.
