We may disagree with Creationism, find it silly and ridicule it, but at least we know where it comes from, namely the Bible, as well as a complete misinterpretation/misunderstanding of some accepted scientific facts like the 2nd law of thermodynamics. On the other hand, Todd Aiken's views on rape not causing pregnancy don't actually seem to come from anywhere. It's certainly not biblical, and I don't know of any scientific fact that can be misconstrued or misinterpreted, even deliberately as evidence for the notion of rape not causing pregnancy. Similarly, some of the frontpage posters on radfemhub seem to think that female ejaculate contains enough sperm to impregnate another woman, despite this never having happened ever. I'm curious as to the origin of these ideas. Who dreamed them up? Why do people believe them?
Also, first post, so hi. Huge ME fan, so I went along with the theme.
