Wherein I take out my disgust with humanity on my friends list.
Okay, QUICK QUESTION HERE: is there anyone, ANYONE reading this now that has trouble understanding why creationism should not be taught in science class?
Because apparently, there are a lot of people in this country who DO.
Now, my FL is filled with delightfully cool and smart people, but humor me and let me break it down for the imaginary fucktards out there: CREATIONISM IS NOT SCIENCE. When you stick a funny-sounding name on there like "Intelligent Design," IT IS STILL NOT SCIENCE. Theological circle jerk that pisses all over the scientific method DOES NOT EQUAL SCIENCE.
I don't care whether or not you believe in Evolution, but here's why we teach it in science class: IT IS SCIENCE.
These people have completely forgotten that science class is where we teach TEH SCIENCE and instead are treating it as "how did we get here?" class. Science doesn't care how we got here; it looks into possible explanations for it. Evolution is what we get when we look into it scientifically, so it's taught in science class. If someone wants to teach non-scientific theories, they can do that in PHILOSOPHY or RELIGION or someplace else that is NOT. FUCKING. SCIENCE. CLASS.
CAPS MEAN THAT I AM SHOUTING.
I SHOUT BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE VERY VERY STUPID.
