Jeebus wouldn't need a hand strap.

Wow - what a great story. It was even better when it was posted earlier in the week though.

Why you keep calling me Jésus? I look Puerto Rican to you?

Guy back there called you Jésus.

He didn't say Jésus. He said, "Hey, Zeus!" My name is Zeus.

Zeus?

Yeah, Zeus! As in, father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Don't fark with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a problem with that?

The "crown of thorns as blingy gold jewelry" motif on those things never fails to amuse me.

The big question remains: Is our children learning Jesus rode dinosaurs?

Wow, three threads covering the same news.

So when can we expect SkinnyHead to come in with his lies and distortion?

So many close calls, it seems like we get right to the edge of religious insanity, and then back away quickly.

I'd like to know why website like the one linked set their default font so god damn small. Do they think people read with their noses against the screen or something.

Too bad we can't evolve to the point where we don't post the same stories repeatedly.

I'm so confused!


From the one last night:

Friday's meeting started with a victory for backers of evolution. The board voted to remove a longstanding requirement that students analyze the "strengths and weaknesses" of the theory. Mainstream scientists resoundingly reject that language, saying there are no weak links in the theory of evolution, which has been corroborated by discoveries in fields ranging from genetics to geology.

Through the afternoon, board members offered up a series of amendments and counter-amendments designed to shape presentations in biology classes across the state. The board voted down curriculum standards questioning the evolutionary principle that all life on Earth is descended from common ancestry.

Yet the board approved standards that require students to analyze and evaluate the fossil record and the complexity of the cell. Social conservatives on the board, led by chairman Don McLeroy, have made clear they expect books to address those topics by raising questions about the validity of evolutionary theory.


This article is from yesterday morning/afternoon, before the other amendments were brought up.

Arguing with young earth creationists is like arguing with holocaust deniers, even though there is irrefutable evidence that 6 million Jews died, you still have some nut job screaming that it is all a conspiracy. At least here in Canada they lock them up for hate crimes. I am waiting for the day that they start locking up fundies.

yep. and even though there were three dissenting Republicans on an education board, that doesn't redeem the state of texas.

So... let me get this straight. You are refusing to change your point of view, even in light of overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

Interesting.

you didn't drop a bomb on me homie, i'm stating that texas is a horrible place that has a lot of unpleasant people and customs. if you don't believe me, live in eastern new mexico for 20 years. my comment was is no way referencing whether they believe in evolution or not. it was suggesting that texas farking sucks and it should be bizzaro-annexed to mexico, which is different.
poor troll. wait for someone to argue with you before you pull out the big guns. 1/10 for blowing your load early.

I don't think overwhelming means what you think it means.

 
Jim_Callahan 2009-03-28 06:40:32 PM  
The problem with these things is that it doesn't occur to sensible people that it's even an issue, so it's always been a scramble to fight that shiat off at times. Though I think now that the crazy fundies have made it clear they're gonna keep pushing, the vast majority that want the next generation to have cooler shiat than the older one are gonna start getting closer to full force. 8-7 is as close as this is gonna get for a while, it's as far as the creationists could push it with the full expenditure of their power, and they got slapped down by the rational response that wasn't even fully awake or paying attention at the time.

//Strategically, warning everyone you were coming with Dover was a bad move, discoverytards.

You're basing your opinion on Texas on living somewhere that's not in Texas, and has fairly minimal interaction with the state outside of through traffic from CA? Are you sure you're not a creationist.
