Slashdot is trolling us:(

So now internet companies are essentially trying to train users to trust whatever information shows up on a web page that claims to be from 'known' sources?

After all the problems that spoof emails cause for people who don't know better, you'd think an internet provider *would* know better.

I'm not even religious, but I'm pretty sure this post is trolling (if not 'just' idiotic).

Somehow religious people who buy into creationism are incapable of science and technology? What is the line of thinking.. "God created this creature, so I can't *possibly* bring myself to study how it works and duplicate it's function in novel technologies for mankind's use!" ?

Is the 11th commandment something like "You shall not look too closely at my other creations," or "You shall respect the privacy of all other creatures (but you can still eat them)" ?

And competing in fossil fuels..??? I think even the most devout church-goer knows that oil, coal, and natural gas are in the ground, and they can be quite useful if dug up or pumped out.

The same point applies to most other areas of technology and research, caveats being areas with moral concerns such as cloning and genetic manipulation. But even with those, there are legitimate non-religious reasons to be wary of progress with a lack of understanding the long term implications.
