“How can he equate ancient creation myths with the hard facts of physics and biology?”
Which hard facts of biololgy did you have in mind?
Anyway, I understand that Jindal graduated college with honors, after having majored in biology and public policy. He apparently understands that there’s no reason to be cramming young minds with the twin myths of mutation and natural selection as satisfactory explanations for the emergence of life or the appearance of new species. He’s right.
Evolution might be an adequate theory to explain how one breed of dog became another breed of dog. It’s completely inadequate to explain how tree shrews became human, let alone explaining where the first cell came from.
As one professional biologist told philosopher/mathematician David Berlinski: “Evolution? My dear man, that’s merely the party line.”
...Jindal graduated college with honors, after having majored in biology...
That’s why the liberals are scared. Jindal actually knows what he is talking about.
