We've Already Had The Religious Test...

...Isn't it About Time for a Pop-Quiz Science Exam?...

The Democrats answered their detractors by going to talk about their faith to a room full of the faithful. The "Sojourners' Presidential Forum" event looked a lot like a 'religious test for office' to me, but that's not really the point.

My point is this: If the Democrats can take "The Pepsi Challenge" on international broadcast satellite television as to their knowledge of the bible & their various interpretations thereof, shouldn't Republican candidates also be asked to do the same thing, vis-a-vis THEIR Achilles’ heel? Shouldn't there be a very public test as the Republican candidates & their basic understanding about natural selection, evolution, biology, the environment, astronomy, physics & other basic, elementary school-level science-based knowledge?

Here's the challenge: A nationally televised debate on science featuring my 10 year old nephew Ethan - against ALL of the GOP's "best and brightest" presidential candidates, moderated by Al Gore, Bill Nye (the science guy) or world-renowned Physicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
What the Hell?! - The Luddite Republicans can even bring their own "ringers", including Pat Robertson, Ralph Reed, The Pope & Sean Hannity.

Come on, Republican Party voters! Bring it on! Let's roll! Pick your own over-used GOP / FOX "News" political propaganda cliché.
