Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional
An anonymous reader writes "MSNBC reports that a judge in Atlanta, GA has ruled that a sticker placed on all textbooks in Cobb County stating that 'Evolution is a theory, not a fact,' is unconstitutional, and ordered that all stickers be removed."
Finally a bit of sense in the courts. :D

Glad to see this ridiculous disclaimer get darwinned.

In the name of plano-terrestrialists everywhere, I demand that all globes, maps and atlases include a disclaimer stating that the idea of a round earth is only one of many possible theories.
Furthermore, we demand equal time in the classroom to discuss our alternative theories of geography.
My rights don't need management.
Dear Creationists,
We'll put these stickers on our science textbooks when you put "God's existence is a theory, not a fact" on your bibles.
Teacher: Class, today we are going to study Creation. A long time ago, God, who cannot be quantified or proven to exist or not to exist, created life using supernatural powers that cannot be explained by science.
Student: Will this be on the test?
Teacher: Will what be on the test?
Unknown host pong.
Stupid religious nuts
alert alert!
A theory may be inside this textbook!
You may be forced to think for yourself!
Don't read this textbook, instead keep on blindly swallowing the lies spread by your religious overlords so they can remain in control of you!

Creationism works like this. God is infinite. Therefore, to represent God, we will use an infinite series: .... = 0
... = 0
.... = 0
... = 0
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 +
1 - 1 = 0, so logically it follows that:
(1 - 1) + (1 - 1) +
Removing the parentheses:
1 - 1 + 1 - 1 +
Adding new parentheses:
1 + ( -1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) +
Simplifying:
1 = 0
Thus, God can create the universe out of nothing.
QED
God could not be reached for comment.
Unknown host pong.
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed at the next zebra crossing.
Oh, science is a democracy now? I'm supposed to let the mouth-breathing, troglodytic masses who can't be bothered to learn what an allele is have a say in the science education in public schools? Why does the fact that a large portion of the world is too stupid / lazy / superstitious to learn about evolution matter to you?
All's true that is mistrusted

...they've been ordered to cover them with these!

In Korea, long hair is for old people!
This does not bode well for my cause...
Hey now! I breath through my mouth due to a nose problem, and I live in a cave ... but I know what an allele is!
Its time to fight against the predjudice towards cave dwelling people with overgrown nasal septa!

"The World" generally means "The part of the US I live in".
Bashing religious people, especially Christians, is easy.
Yup, all you need is a good club. Especially real christians: they turn the other cheek.
You can't take the sky from me...

No problem, just show up for your interview in a t-shirt with 'CAUTION - MAY CONTAIN THEORY' written across the front. They'll love you.

it's "thank goodness I live in Canada ... where there aren't so many people so rabidly fundamental that they try anything, everything, even silly things like stickers to try to make children ignore evidence!"

God is Love.
And Love is Blind.

Everything we need to know about this topic has been eloquently and concisely discussed in the song by artist MC Hawking (rap persona of physicist Stephen Hawking).
Fuck The Creationists
Trash Talk
Ah yeah, here we go again!
Damn! This is some funky shit that I be laying down on your ass.
This one goes out to all my homey's working in the field of evolutionary science.
Check it!
Verse 1
Fuck the damn creationists, those bunch of dumb-ass bitches,
every time I think of them my trigger finger itches.
They want to have their bullshit, taught in public class,
Stephen J. Gould should put his foot right up their ass.
Noah and his ark, Adam and his Eve,
straight up fairy stories even children don't believe.
I'm not saying there's no god, that's not for me to say,
all I'm saying is the Earth was not made in a day.
Chorus
Fuck, fuck, fuck,
fuck the Creationists.
Trash Talk
Break it down.
Ah damn, this is a funky jam!
I'm about ready to kick this bitch back in.
Check it.
Verse 2
Fuck the damn creationists I say it with authority,
because kicking their punk asses be me paramount priority.
Them wack-ass bitches say, "evolution's just a theory",
they best step off, them brainless fools, I'll give them cause to fear me.
The cosmos is expanding every second, every day,
but their minds are shrinking as they close their eyes and pray.
They call their bullshit "science" like the word could give them cred,
if them bitches be scientists then cap me in the head.
Chorus
Trash Talk
Bass!
Bring that shit in!
Ah yeah, that's right, fuck them all motherfuckers.
Fucking punk ass creationists trying to set scientific thought back 400 years.
Fuck that!
If them superstitious motherfuckers want to have that kind of party,
I'm going to put my dick in the mashed potatoes.
Fucking creationists.
Fuck them.

Actually, reduced mortality rates are better correlated to the increased righteousness of our cause.
/me prints out a roll of "Gravity is only a theory, not a fact" stickers...
There's a cord that joins my belly to her lady parts.
We have to travel together, of course, but I never have to eat, drink or go to the toilet.
I too would prefer more stickers. Stickers indicating that the aforementioned stickers are not proven facts, but they themselves are opinions regarding the factual nature of the theories contained within the attached book.
You. Right. Grumsh hate evolution. It stinky farty poo. Atheists go squish now!
