There have been some articles posted on the controversy over these textbooks, but I hadn't seen anyone post the outcome.

I just wish they'd include some of the anti-round-earth research too. Those guys make some good points.

Air is a gas composed approximately of 79% nitrogen N2, 20%Oxygen O2, trace amounts of Argon Ar, and varying amounts of warter H2O. The behavior of these molecules in a large conglomeration such as a laboratory flask or the Earth's Atmosphere can be accounted by the following laws of physics.
- The laws of quantum physics determine the internal energy states of individual air molecules.
- van der Walls forces govern the interaction between individual air molecules.
- Maxwell's dynamic distribution describes the velocity distribution of air molecules at a given temperature.
- Thermodynamics describes the transfer of energy between large quantities of air.
How then do we account for the existence of cyclonic weather phenomena such as hurricanes and tornadoes? There is nothing in these basic laws of physics that can account for such phenomena, but they are very common. Therefore the sensible solution is to assume that an anthapmorphic supernatural deity is responsible for all hurricanes and tornadoes. Since this systems never cross the equator and spin in opposite directions in the northern and southern hemispheres this lends credence to the theory that certain parts of gas physics cannot be explained without resorting to the supernatural.

The State Board of Education voted Thursday to approve biology textbooks, despite criticism from religious activists who say the books as written fail to present the anti-evolution point of view. The Luddites are about out of gas. Time to go back to tacking up Jack Chick tracts in commercial laundromats.

They'll want to teach about falling off the edge of the earth next.
