Religious Right and Evangelicals

I'm not sure what you are interested in discussing. But I did read the article and was fascinated by the book, I will probably pick it up in a few days.What I found curious was the portion that talked about the initial reason for the formation of the religious right. That when the US government attempted to revoke Bob Jones Universities tax exempt status because of its discrimination policies is what pulled the trigger in forming the movement.It would be interesting to me to consider what was such a threat about Bob Jones University and tax exampt status revoked. Did they see it as some sort of domino affect that might expand to include all religious affiliated orginizations? Or did they see it as an attack on Christianity itself because its attacking a university that is producing fresh evanglicals that will help promote false biological information and other important things important to creationism and associated biblical thoughts?

Creationism (tm) is older then now anyways. They had the tm variation created as at least as early as the Scopes Trial I would think. Williams Jennings Bryan (president runner up as well as the most powerful political/religious leader of the time) supported the Bible over the science.I mean Creatioism (tm) was not as sophisticated back then, and probably hadn't developed the kind of resources like AiG or ignorrant books. But it was in its beginning phase where it was using solely the Bible over canned/false arguements that are used now a days.

Well recommended information was that I also look into Henry Morris.He appears to be pointed at as the father of the modern variation of Creationism (tm). Which however, also led me to George McCready Price, a canadian creationist. Price was apparently fundamental in the creation of Morris's viewpoint on flood geology. Price's literature was also fundamental piece of information that Bryan used at the Scopes Trial. So there appears to be a great deal of history behind the American Creationist movement...
