Warning! The Georgia school board says that this month's National Geographic is in league with Satan
I can see this is going to be a couple of interesting decades. As science and technology are marginalized more and more and "faith" replaces "technology" in the public marketplace, "scientists" will become a cultural legend, akin to werewolves, vampires and witches.
Things break. They fail.
Black robed "priests" will sprinkle "sacred water" on broken electro-turbines in an attempt to get them working again. If that fails, there is always the sacred dance, accompanied by pan pipes and drums, complete with rattling gourds and accompanying choirs, clad in ankle length white robes, with detachable faux angels wings on their backs, speaking in tongues.
Before you know it, it'll be the 11th century all over again. Those Korean mushroom clouds all over the west coast will be explained as God's thunder, punishing the sodomites.
When they begin falling in the heartland, we'll have to start burning Catholics and Jews as atonement, to make God stop.

Perhaps there should be a graphic depictation of what happens to those impious few who dare to read these evil texts?
Hell-Fire and screaming and stuff.
That will help too, I'm sure.
(I have to admit it did not work with drugs and masturbation...)

I usually talk about evolution with like-minded friends, not with wingnuts but I'd kind of like to see a wingnut's eyes widen when I use my usual comparison of "creationism and science".
If I were a teacher required to teach both evolution and creationism, I'd spend about 20 minutes describing why only idiots would give creationism the time of day and then I'd spend the rest of the semester on evolution.
