At first when i saw this story I was hoping that it was just a ‘context’ issue. Ummm…. It’s not apparently. The estro-queens are having a gab about assorted topics like evolution. Whoopi Goldberg is yammering about how her belief is both evolution and god, and although she doesn’t really do a good job explaining her position, I will help out and say that her belief is the God-Spark belief, in which God built the framework for the universe and made all the rules, sparked life but then let it run from there. Well Whoopi then asked Sherri Shepherd if the world was flat…
This is now the evidence of why America is becoming dumber. It is actually acceptable to say on a well watched, national television show, that you “never thought about it” and that it is unimportant. What is important apparently, and all consuming, is “how i’m going to feed my child”. The ‘read between the lines’ part of it that is funny to me, was that Whoopi is apparently trying to make a case for science having a place, even in the most religious of minds, because sometimes science is completely right, such is the case of the Earth being round… But she did not expect someone to actually not know the answer… LOL
I hope this woman’s kids are sterile and can’t procreate, because frankly, if you are a parent and have no idea if the Earth is round or flat, your kids are going to grow up to be complete fucking morons with you at the helm of their education. Children in the middle of nowhere, in the bush in Africa know that the Earth is round. How is this level of ignorance acceptable in the public image? Why do we, as a population, embrace ‘dumb’ so willingly. Although I have not looked, I am sure there are thousands of people defending her and probably saying things equally as ignorant as “you can’t be smart in everything…” Please, show me one thing she is actually smart in. After that display, I won’t believe you.
