I remember seeing, a coupla years ago, a series of "christian" comic books, defending the faith from the evils of Harry Potter and Evolution, and other things. The books were very stylized, and looked (on the surface) like high end stuff (the had entire comics on the internet for reviewing), but the writing was awful. Anyway, the evolution edition painted that very idea, that evolution = racism. The book makes the assertion that since evolution says that humans started in Africa, and then moved out of Africa, that by turning various other shades of brown and ultimately white (depending on what part of the world you were in), that blacks were less evolved. And that was racist. The comic was asserting that was the viewpoint of evolutionists, and that the "christian" who wrote the garbage wasn't the racist. Never you mind facts, when convoluted truthiness will do. (and calling it truthiness is even a stretch) Arch - this has been a right wing narrative for some time.

My own pastor growing up (I’m one of the frozen chosen, so Lutheran it’s pronounced Lute’rhin) always put the ars scientifica in laymen’s terms like this: God is omnipotent, yet He laid out knowledge for mankind to discover, each bit of understanding coming in its own time.

I'm actually surprised that she's not arguing that winning a Nobel prize is what leads to racism. Then she should start accusing Gore of being a racist.
