Texas has once again entered a debate on evolution, apparently in the thinking there is anything at all to debate about it except whether there's any potential for intelligence evolving in Texas. Most do not think so. (Newser: Texas Relaunches Evolution Debate)
Rather than an endless and tedious diatribe on evolution, there's a much better way to show you how much people care about kids in school. That would be to take a look at the revolting crap they serve them for lunch. They're not just feeding them crap science in the creationist lab, they're filling them with crap food.
You can see a whole array of crap school lunches at Fed-Up and, baby, this is crap chow even the homeless wouldn't eat. (No, I'm not mocking the homeless. I've been homeless for years.)
Is that mouth-watering good or what.
So, how about that Scopes Monkey Trial, huh?
People often quote the Scopes trial as a victory for evolution but that isn't what happened as Scopes (the teacher) lost the case. The evidence was brilliantly presented by Clarence Darrow and gave as much justification for teaching evolution as it will ever need but the court ruled against Scopes anyway in favour of the Biblical presentation from William Jennings Bryan.
If you believe in divine retribution, it might interest you to know that William Jennings Bryan was, erm, visited by death shortly after the trial.
One of the pitches in the current campaign in Texas is that natural selection is a selective force and not a creative force. However, if we open our Evolutionary Readers to page one, we will see that natural selection is not described as a creative force. Any type of 'creation' comes from cosmic ray-induced mutations, natural recombination of DNA, or Martians, it makes no difference. Most of those types of changes are lethal or useless and it's the latter case in the speaker for creationism in Texas.
It's not clear to me why this and often abortion as well are permitted to be used as devices to mass-install Christianity in the populace. Often they will show their thoughtfulness and point out how they helped some Muslims build a mosque ... but they will damn sure never believe anything that happens inside the mosque or permit that thinking outside the mosque, particularly not in a school. Yet they demand the precepts coming out of the Christian church will be accepted everywhere while prattling forth about freedom of religion in the country. It's absolute rubbish.
Evolution doesn't even conflict with Christianity unless you take a severely fundamental view of it so what the hell is the deal with all this argument. Are there really that many fundamentalists who have chucked science in favour of witch doctors and bloodletting.
