Getting Evolution In Science Textbooks For Texas Schools
First time accepted submitter windwalker13th writes "Recently the New York Times ran an article highlighting the pull that a State Board in Texas holds over that state and rest of the Nation. Because of the unique way in which Texas picks school textbooks (purchasing large volumes of textbooks at once to be used for the next decade) publishers pander to this board to get their books approved. The board currently holds several members (6 of 28 who are known to reject evolution) who hold creationist views and actively work to ensure that the science textbooks do not use as strong language or must include "critical thinking" about possible alternate explanations for evolution."
And evolutionists do not want students to think critically when it comes to evolution.
Cuts both ways, that knife does.
Saying "God did it" is unacceptable, and that is not critical thinking; it's idiotic thinking.
Really? Why is it so crossways with your thinking to believe in a creator? Is it because it violates your view of the world and you won't admit that your view is not provable either? Idiocy is not realizing that there are other valid base assumptions or being willing to acknowledge your bias then calling folks who don't hold your assumptions names.

There is no bigger religious myth than evolution.

Creationism is 100% science and evolution is 100% religion. YOu have never seen anything evolve and you never will. You just believe what you are told by someone who never saw it and never will.
