Why did some creationists send death threats to the judge in the Dover evolution/intelligent design trial?

Question

Here's that new PBS documentary on the trial:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/program.html

It's pretty funny how badly the ID advocates got beaten.

Answer 1

Because those creationists are delusional sociopaths.

EDIT: Rev. Albert Einstein thinks you're Satan. So not only is Satan a human being, but one with an internet connection and a Yahoo! account (and watches PBS)...these are the thoughts of a man with a very tenuous grasp on reality. This is where death threats come from.

Answer 2

Throughout the trial, the Creationists were shown to be of the poorest moral character. Death threats were leveled at the plaintiffs. The Creationist school board members deliberately mislead the plaintiffs' attorneys about the source of the ID textbooks (failing to mention that they asked the church for the funds which went to one's father to buy the books "anonymously"). Serious consideration was given perjury. As the ruling reads, "The inescapable truth is that both Bonsell and Buckingham lied at their January 3, 2005 depositions."

Why would the Creationists start being moral and follow the rule of law after they lost?

Answer 3

The choose issued a brief restraining order combating implementation of the drilling ban. He did no longer rule on the advantages of the lawsuit filed by applying the gang of companies. No lawsuit is desperate that promptly. the main suitable decision will come plenty later. the explanation at the back of the temporary restraining order is that, on the same time as the experience is pending, somebody has to be certain in spite of if to drill or to no longer drill, i.e., whose section is going to be dealt with as maximum suitable in the previous a actual decision is made.

Answer 4

And a few stations refused to air the documentary because they feared controversy.

I liked the comment that wondered if PBS wouldn't air anything on the Holocaust because they feared upsetting the deniers.

Answer 5

That was an excellent, EXCELLENT program. I just watched the entire thing. It's now 1:40a.m.

Shoot.

Anyhow, folks who generally preach forgiveness and non-violence as instructed by their "faith" seem to be quite capable of threatening pain and death to those who would dare challenge their dearly held religious notions.

Answer 6

The threat of force has always worked for Christians in the past.

Answer 7

It is strange how some god-believers will do anything, including threaten judges, to get their god beliefs into public schools.

I wonder if their god would approve of such behavior?

Answer 8

I saw that on PBS on Wednesday. I boggles the mind how ignorant some people are.

Answer 9

ID advocates are in an untenable position, it is no surprise they got beaten...

Answer 10

you know i am a devout christian and a believer of evolution. i just cant understand how some christians can read the bible so literally as to deny an objectively proven fact - like the evolution. its pathetic.
