Sarah Palin did NOT say that Creationism had to be taught in Alaskan schools. She did not say that Evolution was wrong, either. All she said was that teachers should be PERMITTED to explain that Evolution is a theory, and to talk about the alternatives.

Seems reasonable to me. I’m not a Bible fundamentalist, but I have scientific problems with the general theory of evolution that I think deserve some discussion. And I think the kids need to be reminded that, even after all these years, it is still a THEORY. Intraspecies evolution is not controversial, but general evolution as the basic explanation for how things are raises all sorts of statistical difficulties.

It bugs me when the secularists and leftists insist that theirs is the only truth, and that no other positions or discussion will be tolerated in our schools.

I presume the same is probably true of Bobby Jindal.

Nope, sorry. Government knows best. The only choice you have is abortion.

Precisely.

Moreover, they have to sue people to be silent to get their version of science enforced. As if only atheists get to decide what is or isn’t science.

They’re not about the scientists deciding science, but liberal activist judges, godless liberal NEA types, etc.

These scientists from MIT, Johns Hopkins, Princeton etc. disagree with the cult of evoltuion and DO offer scientific alternatives but the cultists scream idiocy like ‘theocracy and burnings at the stake’ everytime they’re even mentioned.

Funny thing is, when you click on “scientists” you don’t see anything remotely “religious” in their scientifc views.
