A progressive group “polling” liberal profs. Wow. I totally trust the poll.

[ The study by the progressive group Texas Freedom Network surveyed 464 university biologists and anthropologists with the help of a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Arlington. ]

Whats the odds this "study" is weighted heavily toward an agenda?..
You know..... some agenda...

I have a hard enough time beliving micro evolution, but supposedly it happens...

Macro evolution is a farce, I’ll never accept it.

ID is not science. Plain and simple, not science.

I think you should sit your kids down and tell them what YOU belive, and why.

Nuff said.

I don't see how this is news. What is news would be a survey of people that reveals about 80% of the people paying for what the kids learn want ID taught with evolution. More and more people are seeing the faults in Darwinism. Darwinism has too many holes to explain origins.

Teachers, OTOH, can't have a job, be tenured, publish papers, get grants, etc, unless they have drunk the whole Darwin jug of kool aid.

Majority say teach evolution in Texas

"Majority"?? Majority of what, evolutionists? Ha!

That headline is a rather clever lie, I'll give 'em that.

A new survey finds a majority of science professors at Texas' public and private universities are against a state policy requiring weaknesses in the theory of evolution be covered in public school science classes....

Wow!! You mean, kind of like science professors in Germany in 1940 were against teaching the logical flaws of naziism??

"Progressive" and "Freedom" are not compatible these days. Progressive means restricting freedom. Just look at today's political progressives; they're the most anti-Constitutional people in power today.

I’m always disappointed in these results.

We’re lectured about “science” regarding the origins of mankind which are sketchy under the best scientific hypothesis yet with embriology and neonatology and the 3D and now ever 4D of a fetus (which is just a technical term - it’s a developing baby with brainwaves by 21 days) moving and smiling and even burping with the real time results in plain sight and the same group will tell us “that don’t prove nuttin.”

So, remember that science is bastardized just like our public radio and public schools. Science shouldn’t use hypothesis for public policy, science needs to be able to prove it.

And the images on the screen prove it very clearly.

Of course, it’s probably irrelevant because our society is in an irreversible decline and there’s nothing we can do.

The point behind this is that if the Texas legislature demands that I.D. or creationism be taught; those chosen to carry out the instruction (science teachers) are not a sympathetic audience to the unscientific claims of I.D. or the establishment of religion that teaching creationism would entail.

In other words, science teachers want science to be taught in science class.

World shaking outcome I know, but there you have it.

The dumbing down of America, including its scientists, proceeds apace.

This doesnt match the headline. The headline says they advocate teaching evolution, the body of the article says they advocate NOT teaching evolution in a critical manner. No theory is perfect and can only be made to be more correct by systematically addressing the weaknesses and refining the theory based on findings. But if you are against teaching weaknesses in the theory, well, that isn't science.

They’re going to start teaching evolution in Texas?

You’d think they’d teach modern theories of evolution instead of going back and reading Darwin.

A poll of the monkey-men yields 95% uniformity. That’s really a bold scientific finding that all the Lefty journalists can trumpet.
Keep this up and Texas Christians will start a long-overdue boycott of Texas public schools.
