Brace yourself: Creation

I can almost read the argument now from conservative Christians.
Conservative Pundit: "Creation, the movie based on Charles Darwin and his discovery of natural selection did not do very well at the box office this weekend. If you look at Passion of Christ -- the movie that liberal Hollywood wouldn't make -- sold way more than Creation on its opening day. Liberals can't kill god and atheists are big meanies; evolution is wrong. You can know this by sales at the box office."
Or something like that.

I wouldn't put past them to make such a ridiculous argument in order to perpetuate the culture wars against their liberal enemies. Who knows, perhaps they'll get lucky and incite a little more right wing violence?

I fully expect to hear this argument from Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly. It's definitely their shtick -- so I am calling it now.
