Staggering stuff, Terry.

My impression is...

... that Creationists are at the end of their rope with a fear that drives them to desperate lengths to bury reality beneath fantasy. There have always been truly horrendous conditions of life endured by many millions. There is cause enough for fear in any rational heart. There are certainly times when we all have difficulty dealing with objective truth - it can often be very unpleasant, to say the least. So, maybe I should feel more sympathy for Creationists. Yet burying the head in the proverbial sand doesn't even begin to meet the challenge of improving the world. Ultimately, reality has to be faced. If there are solutions to be found, science and a rational system of ethics will find them.
