The entirety of her premise that Sen. Obama’s Christian church is somehow “bad” and that he is somehow “hypocritical” is based on her own ignorance of the history African American Christianity in this country and her own misreadings of Trinity United Church of Christ’s tenets related to liberation, compassion, charity and community. (Oh, and her disdain for people who dislike her hero, George W. Bush, crossed with a deeply partisan loathing for Sen. Obama himself — to be expected from a former campaigner for Alan Keyes for Senate, Illinois edition.) The intertwined network of conservative partisan media has helped her efforts at promoting this ignorant misinterpretation of basic information. (This wouldn’t be the first time Ms. Eaton proved to be ignorant and apparently willfuly misinformed, nor the second, nor the third, nor the… you get the idea.)

But the eye? The heart? I think we actually comprehend them pretty well. The heart is a big bag of muscle that pumps blood around. That's pretty much it. The eye has most of the same parts as a microscope in a high school science lab. Incompreheisible? I don't think that word means what she thinks it means. Anyway the whole argument boils down to "It's really, really hard to understand. Therefore, God did it."

As Arch explains she apparently lacks a junior high level understanding of biology. And because she doesn’t understand, she exclaims that she must be right. In other words, she does not think, therefore she’s adamant that the Biblical allegory is fact and that she was made from mud and one of Adam’s ribs. [...] [...] Not so Fran Eaton.
