As we know the issue of the avian flu virus has raised concerns from our homes to the White House. There is even talk that the virus can mutate into a form that can easily infect humans. Dubya and the CDC has told us there is no way for a new vaccine to be made until this evolution has occurred. So this also raises concern because it is impossible to mass produce enough vaccine to protect everyone here in the US.
Here is a quick and easy solution to this problem.
In August, the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that 42% of the public believe that “living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time.” It is well known that random mutation is the engine of evolution, so it should be safe to say that the same 42% must believe that the virus for the avian flu will never mutate.
If so, problem solved. Why should we waste an already limited vaccine on those who are fighting tooth and nail in the court rooms and in the schools that evolution does not exist. Surely, they can believe there can possible threat to their lives if the virus is unable to mutate. – thus leaving those of us who do believe in evulotion sufficient supply.
Given the Presidents doubts about evolution, he should rise to the occasion and demonstrate his leadership by foregoing vaccination.
This approach has added benefits. Polls also tell us that 70% of evangelicals also do not believe in evolution.
This sounds like a great plan to me. Kind of makes them wish they did believe in evolution.
