Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution
The debate between creationists and proponents of evolution isn't ending any time soon, but now some creationists have a secret weapon, "Nessie!"
Certain fundamentalist schools in Louisiana plan to teach children that the Loch Ness monster is real in a bid to disprove Darwin's theory of evolution. From the article: "One ACE textbook – Biology 1099, Accelerated Christian Education Inc – reads: 'Are dinosaurs alive today? Scientists are becoming more convinced of their existence. Have you heard of the "Loch Ness Monster" in Scotland? "Nessie" for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur.' Another claim taught is that a Japanese whaling boat once caught a dinosaur. It's unclear if the movie Godzilla was the inspiration for this lesson."
So... how is life in Botswana? What? you mean to tell me that you live in a land whose culture descended from a Protestant ethic?
I have to admit that this is what I expected. For all the hate for the Christian faith that persons such as yourself espouse it certainly odd that youse guys never seem to want to leave.
As a matter of fact I bet I could not PAY you to live anywhere that did not spring from a Christian, Protestant tradition.
Enjoy your air conditioning!
This sig is not paradoxical or ironic.
So then, should we look at what the atheists of the Soviet Union and other Communist countries produced in the last 100 years? That would be 100,000,000 dead and unimaginable suffering.

Oh, well then, never mind. At least there is truth in your disclaimer.
