Oklahoma senator promises to cripple teaching of science in Oklahoma schools:

Senator Josh Brecheen stressed that the final wording of the bill is not complete but says the issues the bill deals with are vital to our children. Senator Brecheen says children should be given all the facts when it comes to evolution.

"If we really are going to use science in the classroom, let's use the full science, let's not just be

I'm annoyed about this, because this kind of crap tends to filter to my corner of the world with a couple of year delay. For fuck's sake, some of the bigger tabloids managed to import "War on Christmas" shit this year! (Read: the scary brown people and godless atheists are gonna get 'em! Noooooo!)

I think that rebuttal can be summarised:

Senator Josh Brecheen has the literacy skills of a third-grader and the scientific education of a cabbage. Oklahoma should be ashamed of itself.

I approve of this rebuttal

Why bother? "I am a creationist. Duh, I eat poop" is self-rebutting.

As for his claim that he hasn't seen "a monkey jumping out of a tree and putting on a business suit"... how the hell otherwise did he get elected??!?

I'm interested in his theory that some roguish individual transitioned from a monkey into a business suit. Not only have I never seen any information that indicates that the ancestors of monkeys were all of low moral character, I haven't seen any that says that monkeys turn into articles of clothing either.

Learn something new ever...I mean DUH, I EAT POOP.

hurp durp

Whatever happened to Larmarckian evolution? Is there nobody backing it up now?

When I was in high school I was taught the whole she-bang: religious views, spontaneous generation, Lamarckian evolution; culminating in Darwinian Evolution, hence showing us how ignorance disappeared as science gained ground... and for some reason, Lamarckian evolution and the spontaneous generation of life stuck a chord with me.

WHY IS NOBODY FIGHTING FOR MY RIGHTS TO BE AN IGNORANT FOOL?
