Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's recent trip to Iowa, where they hold those presidential caucuses every four years, leads me to suspect he may share the media speculation that he could be the Next Great Thing in the Republican Party.
It also reminded me how Jindal signed a dumb and devious bit of legislation last summer, allowing local school districts to promote alternative (i.e., religious) doctrines in their science curriculums when it comes to evolution.
Jindal is obviously one bright guy. How can he equate ancient creation myths with the hard facts of physics and biology?
One might think that the Republicans learned something from the drubbing they took in the 2006 and 2008 elections. But like Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee (and John McCain in 2008), Jindal is apparently happy to cater to the religious right, even if it means teaching superstition in the classroom
Ditto, there are a lot of us...
Evolution is a failed theory at this point and has no place being taught as science anymore than the “sun is a pile of burning coal” theory that predated nuclear fusion. Like most other parts of the liberal faith any attempt to engage in scientific debate is met with intellectual witch burning. The left is systematically conducting scorched earth tactics against anyone who does anything other than mouth their atheist dogma. There is little point in getting into a detailed analysis of the science liberals love to ignore to maintain their own worldview, but anyone who studies both sides of issues like evolution or climate change with a scholarly perspective soon realizes that the entrenched theories do not adequately explain the data.
I believe in GOD and HIS word, including the story found in Geneses. I believe that the theory of evolution is the devils antitheses for the creation story. Just say’ in. ;-)
This idiot clearly doesn't realize that time is on the side of the Christians, who actually procreate instead of murdering their offspring. The pro-homosexual, stem cell researching, brown skinned atheists are aborting all the future socialists.
Fine. Shut up and wait then. As long as y'all shut up.
>The pro-homosexual, stem cell researching, brown skinned atheists are aborting all the future socialists.
I used to think that would be enough to wipe them out too, but I no longer believe this since Obama was elected. The main reason why is because Christians in the majority are raising their children with values just like the fallen, sinful world. You can’t tell most Christian children apart from the non-Christian children anymore, except for a minority of homeschoolers and those who quietly teach their children the Word and the power of prayer. They go to the same schools, they watch the same sinful movies and tv shows, they listen to the same worldly music, they wear the same revealing clothes instead of modest clothing, etc.
As long as Christian children are being raised with the teachings of atheists they’ll be susceptible to “Government is the answer” solutions put forth by the socialists and communists.
I believe in God, that he created the world and everything in it — did it His way...and didn’t ask for my advice or permission.
Yeah, and then they grow up (hopefully).
Immature, inexperienced, foolish young people DO believe a lot of stupid crap.
Could it be that Republicans find that the quest for power is not as important as the quest for truth?

Uh, no.
I’m one of them there crazy bible literalists. If God said he created the whole thing in six days and propped his feet up on the seventh, who am I to argue. If the firsts verses of the Bible are incorrect, the whole bible is suspect. Believe the first verse or forget the rest and believe whatever fits your lifestyle.
Whatever floats your boat.
Bobby Jindal and the GOP Don’t Believe in Evolution
Good, another reason to vote for him.
I also believe that the Bible is the literal truth, word for word. Some things were said in parables, but that isn’t a license for us to read whatever we want into it to fit modern secular humanism.
Jesus didn’t always speak in parables. Not all the Bible is allegory.
“Study to show thyself approved, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
The Bible has different dispensations that we need to study to understand the ways of God. Not all passages are addressed doctrinally to Christians or have an application in this age of grace. Some passages do.
In depth studying and rightly dividing these dispensations is what God wants the Christian to do to understand His Word.
Evolution is the johnny come lately approach to understanding the foundation of the universe and world. The really fascinating story is in between the covers of the most incredible Book ever written.
Religion and science are not at odds, and the continuous feuding is unnecessary and upsetting.
Totally agree with you my friend. Well said.
You can believe in evolution and god, just not the God of the Bible. Biblically, the two concepts are incompatible.
I don’t see why christains can’t believe in both. I’m a christain and I figure God had to create the earth somehow and evolution is probably how he did it.
Okfine. :-(
