Everybody be nice.

A pro-evolution science list with over 300 names. See the list's explanation at my freeper homepage. Then FReepmail to be added or dropped.

"I don't think anything should be taught as dogma," Abrams told the Lawrence Journal-World."

Sounds pretty dogmatic to me.....

[Just mythoughts]

Oh and they say this is not about a religion. HA!!!

[VadeRetro]

Thirty-eight Nobel Prize laureates asked state educators to reject proposed science standards that treat evolution as a seriously questionable theory, calling it instead the "indispensable" foundation of biology.

What do a bunch of Nobelists know about science education compared to heartthrob mega-babe Kathy Martin?

If this GROSS LIBERAL ANTI-REALITY effort does not get stopped, our so-called institutions of learning will be nothing more re-conditioning camps for Communists for the sole purpose of socialist indoctrination to their re-defined world.

Total insanity.

Cree Creation Story

When light first came to the earth, O-ma-ma-ma the earth mother of the Cree people gave birth to the spirits of the world. The first born was Binay-sih, the thunderbird who protects the animals from the sea serpent, Genay-big. Thunderbirds shout out their unhappiness or anger with black clouds, rain and fire flashes in the sky. The second born was Ina-kaki, the lowly frog who heightens the sorcerer's powers and helps to control the insects in the world. The third born was the trickster Wee-sa-hay-jac, who can change himself into many forms or shapes to protect himself. The fourth child was Ma-heegun, Wee-sa-hay-jac's little wolf brother. They travel together with Wee-sa-hay-jac on his back. The fifth born was Amik the beaver, who is greatly respected because he is an unfortunate human from a different world. Fish, rocks, grasses, and trees all came from the womb of the great earth mother O-ma-ma-ma. The earth was inhabited a long time by only animals and spirits because Wee-sa-hay-jac had not yet made any people.

It is wrong to teach children they are common descent of animals. You tell a child they are an animal and they are going to act like animals.

I do not care what the evolutionists believes.

Kathy Martin, chief anti-evolutionist on the Kansas School Board
Thirty-eight Nobel Prize winners can't persuade her

[CondorFlight]

As much as I admire Elie Wiesel, why does he qualify as an expert on biology?

They only got 38? Must have been a few laureates on vacation.

O-ma-ma-ma the earth mother of the Cree people ...

Is O-pa-pa-pa the earth FATHER of the Cree people?

This is another one of those funny data points for the idea some linguists have that language only originated once.

Gee, maybe he just understands it.

[VadeRetro]

Science class is about science. Your convenience was not considered in the history of the universe, the Earth, and life on Earth.

[Just mythoughts]

Since she is your competitor how about posting your photo side by side of hers.

[PatrickHenry]

As much as I admire Elie Wiesel, why does he qualify as an expert on biology?

He doesn't; but he's managed to put together what seems to be an impressive group of science winners. And I might point out that he's no less qualified, and possibly a tad more intelligent, than the lovely Kathy Martin.

[Just mythoughts]

Evolution is a lie. Evolution is a convenience for those who find the need to plot another way, could call it another god.

[PatrickHenry]

Might as well toss this in:

The List-O-Links.
How to argue against a scientific theory.
Another service of Darwin Central, the conspiracy that cares.

Sounds like a case for the Tenth Amendment to me.

If you want a Google GMail account, FReepmail me.
They're going fast!

[VadeRetro]

Evolution has the evidence. That's why it has won acceptance. Darwin might have lied, but he didn't. Had he done so, it would have been detected immediately, much less by now. Instead of which, in Dobzhansky's words, "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution."

Your emotional knee-jerks of religious horror are not science and have no place in science class.
