While there are definitely some non-nazi creationist, man, creationism is its own right wing agenda. Louise Agasazzi was a fucking racist piece of shit, and hated Darwinism because he thought all the "races" had a different origin. And then contemporary Creationists have their very ownMike Johnson who's an author on the Answers in Genesis website. And Answers in Genesis itself is a Nationalist alt right political organization. Creationism is just excuse for them to hate the gays, the trans, and the abortors.

So yeah, I guess they aren't technically Nazis...they are cut from the same cloth. They may not goose step, but they sure like carrying water for the goose steppers.

    I wouldn't recommend Mike Heiser. The dude was an evangelical through and through and not only that most of his views were fringe to evangelicalism, his work is apologetics for his idiosyncratic views.

    But Religion for Breakfast is good.

    Fair enough. It's hard to learn something new when what you have works and you know it. And if what you have works, then yeah. I get that. Especially if you have lots of visuals and themes. I think libre office calc is pretty ugly. But I also don't try and make things look better either

    It is theoretically possible that we are basal in such away that mice are derived given a certain ailment, that a treatment doesn't work on mice. However we are so damn closely related to mice that probability is vanishingly small, and in such cases where it is known about, they actually genetically modify the mouse to account for it.

    They used to do fertility tests on hamster ovum to see if a human male's sperm was viable. We are fucking close enough to hamsters a human sperm can cause a hamster ovum to start to divide.

    Granted, I will agree with you: much animal testing is fucking horrific and deplorable. But it is generally reliable.
