Judge said creationism is ‘breathless inanity’

Re: “Governor General misunderstands religion,” letter, Nov. 8.

The Governor General deserves praise, not criticism, for her comments on astrology and creationism.

Readers who Google “astrology” and “Nobel Prize” will find a statement by 192 scientists, including 19 Nobel Prize winners, who criticize astrology and label it “superstition.”

As for creationism, in a court case in the United States (often compared with the famous Scopes trial), a conservative Republican judge found that creationism represented “breathless inanity.”

Finally, for those who invoke the need to “have faith,” I offer the following definition of “faith”: “Believing something without good reason.”
