Are we still having a discussion about teaching creationism as science in Texas? Yep. A Bible-oriented group proposes a master's degree in creationism and the state's commissioner on higher education didn't chase them out of his office with a pitchfork. Instead, Raymond Paredes has been in "regular contact" with the governor about it.
I love that the Statesman filed a request to read the emails sent in from outraged scientists in our state. Perhaps we should just tell scientists the same thing that Governor Perry told the gays during that ban on same-sex amendment thing. Remember when he told the gays to just move?
That's right science folks, just move. Leave. Texas don't want you none. Apparently, we'd rather stand around with our thumb up at our asses and pray that Jesus will cure all our ills.
How can you even debate this? Faith is Faith and I got it, but science is completely different and has nothing to do with religion or Jesus or the Bible. To insist otherwise, as if they compete is probably one of the best ways to tell if you are talking to a complete moron and then you shoot them in the face.
Ugh, I'm a little cranky this morning. Too much champagne last night and then having to even think about stupidity this early in the morning gets me going.
Yes, Creationists, you may now leave. Please.
So, if we teach all our students that science is practiced by witches and devil worshippers, just who's going to be left to find a cancer cure at the Cancer & Research Institute of Texas we funded with prop 15? Maybe we could just make up some "Science Kills" bumper stickers. Bah!
