The economic destruction of the fundamentalist war against science also has military implications. Obviously a smaller tax base, caused by supressing science education, means less money to defend any given nation.
In the US this is already happening, the supression of stem-cell research has led to the US losing dominance in this field, which is potentially lucrative as well as life-prolonging.
This is the country part of creationists being against God and Country. I (and others, with better eloquence) have addressed the against God part in other posts in other forums.
