Comments on: Texas Board of Education Set to Advance Into 19th Century http://nachonblog.com/2009/03/texas-board-of-education-set-to-advance-into-19th-century/ Geoff Berg is a "lying sack of manure." -- Joseph Farah, WorldNetDaily Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:27:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: The Dude http://nachonblog.com/2009/03/texas-board-of-education-set-to-advance-into-19th-century/#comment-2099 The Dude Fri, 27 Mar 2009 18:25:05 +0000 http://nachonblog.com/?p=2879#comment-2099 Obviously you haven't been to the Creation Evidence Musuem on the banks of the beautiful Paluxy River outside Glen Rose, Texas, Man. It's just upriver from the Dinosaur Valley state park where you can see like real dinosaur tracks in the bottom of the river, Man. And close to Dinosaur World where they have like 100 life size dinosaur models. Totally cool, except that they don't have like Jesus or Moses riding on any of the dinosaurs like they must have done, Man. It's an awesome weekend visiting this stuff, Man. Take your kids before it's too late, Man. Obviously you haven’t been to the Creation Evidence Musuem on the banks of the beautiful Paluxy River outside Glen Rose, Texas, Man.

What never ceases to amaze me is that when speaking of this issue of "Strengths and Weaknesses" the creationist/religious right is always under some strange presumption that it is THEIR story of creation that will fill the void. Do they not admit that other faiths/cultures have OTHER creation stories that they BELIEVE as strongly as Christians BELIVE theirs? Greg you yourself erroneously made the point of calling it "two sides" to the argument. And therein lies the rub, if we then have to fill up science class with multiple creationism stories then it's a comparitive religion class. Additionally, once people didn't know about the atom. Then they thought there might be more, but they taught about the atom as they scientifically understood it at the time. Then they learned about protons, neutrons and electrons, and thought that's all there was, so the scientific data was refined...and taught it in schools. Then we move to years of debate about quarks... Can anyone see where this is going? Science corrects itself as it's refined and proven. Beliefs like Biblical creationism stay static. Ergo, beliefs are not science. I was on hold and didn’t make it on last night.
