Texas Bill Outlaws Discrimination Against Creationists In Academia
ndogg writes "There is a Texas bill, HB 2454, proposed by Republican State Rep. Bill Zedler, that will outlaw discrimination against creationists in colleges and universities. More specifically, it says, 'An institution of higher education may not discriminate against or penalize in any manner, especially with regard to employment or academic support, a faculty member or student based on the faculty member's or student's conduct of research relating to the theory of intelligent design or other alternate theories of the origination and development of organisms.'"
People writing this law belong in a mental institution. Mark al in favor of this law a call the white coat people.
Because, like it or not, scientific method dictates that creationism must be disproven before it can be dismissed. Since you can't possibly prove or disprove it... open end.
Of course, one can then decide which theory to use as a working theory by accumulating observations and calculating chances of the theory being more or less close to the truth. Still... you can't discount creationists just like that.
Remember, evolution is still a theory as well. Heck, if you want to go scientific method nazi on someone's ass, gravity is still a theory.
Laughing at somebody, as someone else suggested, is at best infantile.
If that's what you want to do. I'm guessing that they are doing this to combat the abuses that Ben Stine discusses in his documentary, "Expelled".
The ark was actually found on top a mountain, albeit broken in half. We know that the Mediterranean basin cracked open and flooded the desert a while back, in the area where all that shit happened.
