As I’m surrounded by evil atheists all day I sometimes forget that there are lots of nutty creationists still running around, causing havoc on the other side of the planet.
It looks like a group of them have managed to get involved with textbooks in Texas.
Not that I am a fan of government schools or government-managed anything (including scientific boards) but aren’t these the same creationists that complain about the very thing they are trying to do?
I mean, if creationists at ICR or the Discovery Institute really want to be even handed, why not teach every theocratic creation story from every belief system?
What about the Flying Spaghetti Monster? What about Norse Paganism with Thor? Or Hopi wiccanism? Or any of these other creation mythologies?
Teach the controversy!!!
