Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal has signed a stealth creationist bill into law, and American educational standards take a huge step backward: Science law could set tone for Jindal.
The creationist front group called the Discovery Institute is quietly crowing, and maintaining the fiction that the bill is not religiously-based.

Why should not the students be asked to critically review ANY concept, no matter how well accepted. Check out the facts: http://www.faithfacts.org/evolution-or-creation/origins-and-silly-putty.
Then you tell me what is. You don't want them telling people that the reasons the geologists give for putting it there are valid.
What do you propose we tell them is the basis for spending billions of dollars of their money to build it there when there are lots of places that are more accessible and would be a lot cheaper?

How long are your arms? ;o)
When is the truth an attack?
(clue: when its a liberal making the accusation)
So you don't have any answers, and don't want anyone else to have any, either.
Are you that confused? Astronomy is the same, regardless of where the origin of the coordinates is located.
"How about the notion that the world is supported on the back of a giant tortoise?"
We have known that you were a Hindu at heart all along.
Do you know how thick a typical containment wall is, in a nuclear reactor? Do you know how many layers of additional containment exist in them. I hope you know, so we figure out how to make a good containment vessel for the nuclear waste.
The guys planning it are going to screw up, so we must rescue the world? They are bound to be embeciles, or worse, they may even be CHRISTIANS!
I don't claim to be a "scientist". I just graduated from kindergarten, and they gave me pass on the rest. I do have a modicum of intelligence, but I won't presume to second guess those working on the problem. I will give little thought to the subject, because, "in the end it really doesn't matter."
We either become dust for eternity, or part of God's family!
A mass located with it’s center at 0,0,0 can still have great angular momentum, but in physics, that is not regarded as being in motion WRT other objects. (i.e. there are no gravitational elements to consider)
And that is exactly what has them in a tizzy. They have no idea how to join that family, (even though it is spelled out as plain as day in colors that they cannot see) so they try to rationalize it out of existence.
I don't know, tell me how it is.
FRiend, you have yet to give any answers. You continue to pose your pet arguments of obfuscation, but fail to look through the trees. You start from a rejection of supernatural Creation, and then try to fill in blanks, with blanks. Unfortunately the blanks have no value.
I have all the answers I need. I'm not looking to replace my God, with man. You have presented nothing to persuade. All you have done is make feeble attempts to justify. I have the same type arguments from the Mormon threads. They have their own truths and doctrines. They claim they will actually become gods... which is the other end of the pendulum!
As my tagline says, Your Mileage May Vary!
I am arguing the case against taking an ancient religious testament, written by the hand of man and subject to the limitations of the language it was written in, translated by man and subject to errors of translation and yet another set of linguistic limitations, and accepting as absolute truth whatever thought reading those words according the the meaning you ascribe to them puts into your head, and refusing to reconcile that with the testament of the creation you and that book exist in.
I do not reject supernatural creation. I reject the idea that we cannot make decisions of public policy based on the available physical evidence because it will conflict with someone's religious belifs.
Let me rephrase that to be better understood by all.
I am arguing the case against God (and those ignorant people of faith).
Your a free citizen of a self-governing nation. The responsibility of where to put that nuclear waste is yours as much as anyones. What is your answer?
You figure you can win if you get to argue both sides. You might be right about that, but I don’t think you get to do that.
Jindal for Lieutenant-Governor!
Truth should never be tiresome.

Religion is should the basis for all our pubic policy, as far back as the Founder’s thought. -kayaker

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good...
