Biblical Bovine Fertilizer: David Barton’s ‘Science’

It should come as little surprise that some (even most) of the extreme Christian right-wingers are more than just a few cards short of a deck; even bat-shit crazy (although not necessarily in a clinical sense). Case in point – David Barton who is just about as Biblically obsessed as it is possible to be without being an actual professional theologian. Here’s how Barton views science and science-related subjects mostly through his Biblical lens (as related by the following headlines culled from stories posted on the “Right Wing Watch” website).
