Lawrence Krauss uppercuts Santorum

[Lowpro]

Verbally obviously, though I'd love to see it done Mortal Kombat style....

but I digress:

He wrote probably my favorite line I've ever read from him:

As a politician on our national stage, his [Santorum's] professed ignorance about the natural world is almost unprecedented. His statements on issues ranging from evolution to the evidence for human induced global warming, and most recently about contraception and birth control only serve to demonstrate that a worldview based on closed-minded faith rather than empirical evidence can result in nonsense as a basis of public policy.

Who is Lawrence Krauss and how did he get so good at artfully and convincingly belaboring the bloody obvious? I mean this in a good way.

...YOU DON'T KNOW WHO LAWRENCE KRAUSS IS?!?!?!



WATCH DAMMIT!



sorry about the outburst, but I've read Lawrence Krauss before I read Dawkins and joined here. I <3 LK. He's like a better JK Rowling as far as writing compelling works is concerned.

& oddly enough, a favorite among IDers.

Who, Krauss or JK Rowling?

I'll assume Krauss but I cannot imagine why. I've never seen Krauss' work cited in ID papers, or its general fanbase. I also can't imagine why simply because Krauss doesn't give any support for ID at all, so I can only assume they cherry pick him as they often do, when that damnable Dr. Sarfarti who I will take every second to disparage and wish that Seal Team 6 would kick his door down and end his reign of intellectual terror.

But this isn't about John Sarfarti, but since I brought up Mortal Kombat earlier...oh I can't post that here...I wish Noob Saibot would split Sarfarti in half life tearing a wishbone...
