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.

Apparently gravity is another theory you have fundamental problems with.
And what explains the stars retrograde motions? Epicycles? Epicycles within epicycles? Why do you think things would move in epicycles in the absence of evidence?
Uh, no.
Establishing what those laws are was the gift of God.
"It depends what you mean by traditional interpretation. I believe everything in the Bible, but not as literally as some."
Tell me something you think has been disproved by 'science' and I will explain why it was not.
They're trying. They're finding evidence in ice cores they're drilling out of the Antarctic going back 400,000 years that disputes the claims of the global warming crowd. Doesn't do us any good if we have to discard that evidence as obviously flawed because nothing can be more than 6,000 years old.
Gee, just when I think this guy might be different.
Bruce Morton of CNN thinks it was. :)
Yeah, this bill passed by overwhelming margins and reflects the desire for freedom sought by the c. 90% of the country that shares ID beliefs, so it would be political suicide to embrace it.
I don't believe in evolution. But I sure believe in devolution, and evolutionsts themselves are prime evidence for it.
You don't understand the implications of the statements that Einstein, Hoyle, Born and Ellis made.
Gravity still drives everything. As I have explained to you before, geocentrists (and Einstein, Hoyle, Born and Ellis) consider the entire universe while geokineticists don't.
I just don't think you are capable of understanding it.
Let's start with the once commonly accepted idea that maggots spontaneously generated from rotten meat.
If students actually learned science in school, I’d be concerned about this. However those students that are creationist will just rebel against evolution and the rest won’t learn anything.
Compulsory public education is basically the vehicle for communist thinking these days ie pollution is evil, racism is evil = the US is evil. Who cars if the curriculum has anything to do with the scientific method?
Nothing has been disproved by science. That isn't what I said. You can't go back in time and prove that something didn't happen literally the way it is described in the Bible. When something contradicts common sense, as a snake talking for instance, you're in the realm of a different kind of truth.
Ah, the misrepresentation starts immediately.
That was an naturalistic idea, along with the naturalistic idea that garbage spontaneously generated rats.
It's where the idea of abiogenesis came from.
SO the entire universe conspires to pull the sun around the earth? What makes it go in 24 hour and 365 day cycles?
Einstein wasn't a geocentrist. You must be oh so much smarter than him to “correctly” interpret his theory to put the earth in the center where human ego demands that it be.
All glory to God and the Heavens. Not man and earth.
I think Dan meant something from the Bible.
That's correct.
I thought you were thinking that science has disproved a young earth/universe, creation, geocentrism or something like that.
I am going to come back to this. Too long for me to read now, as I have other things to do on the computer.
What you are proving in your replies is that science and religion are two different realms. It makes no sense to even think about science going back in time and proving or disproving something in the Bible, or supposed from the Bible.
What is that wonderful phrase again? Nonoverlapping magisteria, or something like that. Even if it was uttered by an atheist, it's a nice phrase.
Guys like you give me a pain. There is no fossil trail that supports evolution, not evolution from one species to another, such as fish to reptiles. You do not have to be a Christian to believe in creationism, I am not a Christian and do not believe in evolution. there is too much evidence that contradicts it. Yes, Dinos were here millions of years ago and went extinct about 65 million years ago, give or take a million. Now explain to me how life started on this planet, something no evo has ever been able to do, explain to me the exact evolutionary steps of insects, something no evo has ever been able to do.
Evolution is not an exact science and is full of holes that can't be proved except by fabricating evidence. Open your mind to a third possibility, one that hasn't even been postulated yet. Forget the false doctrine of evolution, it is wrong and has proven so.
Evos are just like left wing a**holes, they thing because they say something it is true. Goodbye.
All gravity is considered and that is not ludicrous. What is ludicrous is ignoring everything but the solar system.
"SO the entire universe conspires to pull the sun around the earth? What makes it go in 24 hour and 365 day cycles?"
Again, I don't think you are capable of understanding the concept. (esp since you already anthropomorphize the universe.)
"Einstein wasn't a geocentrist. You must be oh so much smarter than him to “correctly” interpret his theory to put the earth in the center where human ego demands that it be."
I never said he was a geocentrist. He interpreted his own theory for us, in the quote.
"All glory to God and the Heavens. Not man and earth."
"You have said it yourself." Matthew 26:64 NASB
Ah. We're going to have an exercise in sophistry over what constitues "proof".
