Ann Coulter Smoking Crack?

I would like evolution to join the roster of other discredited religions, like the Cargo Cult of the South Pacific. Practitioners of Cargo Cult believed that manufactured products were created by ancestral spirits, and if they imitated what they had seen the white man do, they could cause airplanes to appear out of the sky, bringing valuable cargo like radios and TVs. So they constructed “airport towers” out of bamboo and “headphones” out of coconuts and waited for the airplanes to come with the cargo. It may sound silly, but in defense of the Cargo Cult, they did not wait as long for evidence supporting their theory as the Darwinists have waited for evidence supporting theirs.

I have my doubts that Coulter actually believes any of this but obviously there are many who do. Many in this country seem to have religion and science confused: they believe that the biblical account of Creation in Genesis is science, and that evolution is a religion. Some of them believe the Earth is only 6000 years old; hell, human beings have been brewing beer longer than that.
