Memo: Stop Teaching Evolution (It's A Plot By The Jooooos!)

The second most powerful member of the Texas House has circulated a Georgia lawmaker's call for a broad assault on teaching of evolution.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, used House operations Tuesday to deliver a memo from Georgia state Rep. Ben Bridges.

The memo assails what it calls "the evolution monopoly in the schools."

Mr. Bridges' memo claims that teaching evolution amounts to indoctrinating students in an ancient Jewish sect's beliefs.

"Indisputable evidence – long hidden but now available to everyone – demonstrates conclusively that so-called 'secular evolution science' is the Big Bang, 15-billion-year, alternate 'creation scenario' of the Pharisee Religion," writes Mr. Bridges, a Republican from Cleveland, Ga. He has argued against teaching of evolution in Georgia schools for several years....

Creationism has evolved into a Conservative issue although it is slightly older than either major political party. There is hardly an issue anymore that is not a political consideration.

Hmmm. Well, I'll hazard a guess. If the earth didn't move but everything else moved relative to the Earth, everything would look exactly as it does now. The sun would literally rise and set, as opposed to figuratively, but it would look exactly the same. Everything would.

LOL...I would've thought plotting world domination IS hard work. But maybe that's just what you want me to think...

I'll try,,,Seems as though Evolution exists,and Creation exists,..Without Creation ,evolution could not exist..

Mr. Bridges' memo claims that teaching evolution amounts to indoctrinating students in an ancient Jewish sect's beliefs.

So he wants Genesis taught instead?

[Vicomte13]

I think it would look exactly the same as it does.

[DustyMoment]

Tsk, why did you do that...now be ready for junk thrown your way...

Yeah, I figured it would bring the creationists out of the woodwork. And, I was right.

[DustyMoment]

Ok, which theory of creationism should they teach?

[taxesareforever]

One lie attacking another lie. Works for me.

Ok, which theory of creationism should they teach?

There is a lot of evidence for a generic creation theory to be stated, whether it's in reference to the Big Bang, Cambrian Explosion, or other sudden appearances of biological forms in the fossil record. Admitting that there could have been creation events at several points in history where the science is fuzzy or counter-intuitive is not a threat to science.

lol! Wait, this is parody, right? Onion? Scrappleface?

If you love what you're doing, it doesn't seem that hard. 8>)

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Except for all the syrup dropping on our face.

[Vicomte13]

And the bunny hair.

[William Terrell]

Well, you have the dogs over me.

[William Terrell]

We have our plots, too. We just bore everybody to death with them, so nobody thinks we're even plotting.

It wouldn't look exactly the same, because if it did, we'd still be using the Ptolemaic model of the universe, which worked perfectly well when measurements were very crude and the only thing we had to observe the heavens was the naked eye. Unfortunately, as measuring and observation methods improved, Ptolemy's model pretty much fell apart.
