Anti-evolution teaching in US
Sigh. More of this crap. BURN THE SCIENTISTS WITH THEIR SCIENCE AND THEIR SMRTNESS
Dover, Pa. — The way they used to teach the origin of the species to high school students in this sleepy town of 1,800 people in southern Pennsylvania, said local school board member Angie Yingling disapprovingly, was that “we come from chimpanzees and apes.”
Not anymore.
The school board has ordered that biology teachers at Dover Area High School make students “aware of gaps/problems” in the theory of evolution. Their ninth-grade curriculum now must include the theory of “intelligent design,” which posits that life is so complex and elaborate that some greater wisdom has to be behind it.
What? Why? How is something being complex proof that some greater wisdom is behind it? Where did that come from? Oh maybe Jesus said it, right before he bit Mary and turned her into a VAMPIRE. That’s a great bit of the Bible. I love the bit with the Apostles when they can’t all fit into the boat so the fat one has to stay on the wrong side of the river and the rest of them have to watch as he gets eaten by, oh I dunno..lets say…Moe.

Yay, Lara Croft in Ireland!
Feshti's back and this time he's counting down the top 10 movie opening scenes of all time.
Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
Thanks for that story, it’s interesting that internationally we (Ireland) is known as a religous type of country. However how many of out students would come up with a line like this?
“There’s only one creator, and it has to be God,” said Rebecca Cashman, 16, a sophomore at Dover High. She frowned when asked to recollect what she learned about evolution at school last year.
“Evolution — is that the Darwin theory?” Cashman shook her head. “I don’t know just what he was thinking!”
