		<description>I live in the Daytona Beach, Florida, and I find it quite ironic and sad that the state that hosts the most important scientific endeavor and institution in mankind&#039;s history, a.k.a. NASA.

I think Florida, however, is no different really than most of the United States.  A cross-section, there&#039;s people who have an interest here in this area in engineering (due to race sports), aeronautics (due to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University), and the space agencies in Brevard County.  Then there&#039;s the majority of the population that has at best a superficial knowledge of science and its discoveries.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I don’t agree with a lot of what you say&lt;/i&gt;

Fret not. Some day you may be as enlightened and as free from both religious and political ideologies as I, my child. :)</description>

		<description>I live in Florida and I&#039;m pretty for sure we&#039;re not undoomed.  The ocean doesn&#039;t have to rise too much before the southeast U.S. border will be what&#039;s left of Georgia and Alabama.

On the plus side, it will be nice to see all those beach condos that ruin the view under water.</description>

		<description>@ billsmithaz,

Yeah, and it gets worse, if you read down to their &quot;age of the Universe&quot; arguments, their explanations for the various lines of evidence are laughable, and many of them are mutually exclusive (ie cannot both be true). Creation &quot;science&quot; is admittedly weak in astronomy, which is one reason I concentrate on it in my discussions.

I know there&#039;s other Texans that read here, I urge all of you to spread the word on this and contact the THECB. We cannot allow that school to be accredited.</description>

		<description>&quot;Given that that’s an exhaustive partition, I’m guessing you wouldn’t self-identify as a humanist.&quot;

I should have been more precise in my stereotyping and bucketizing of the two factions I find to be laughable in their zealotry.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;If you are in Florida, and you like reality&lt;/i&gt;

You could probably fit all those folks in a very small room.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Atheists/theists: two sides of the same coin of douchebaggery.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
