Tennessee Evolution Bill Allowing Discussion Of Creationism In Schools Passes State Senate

It's a small victory for republikans and creationists.
I'm sure Ron Paul would approve of this bullshit.

The Senate voted 24-8 for SB 893, which would allow teachers to help students "understand, analyze, critique and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories" like "biological evolution, the chemical origins of life, global warming and human cloning."

Lord forbid that anyone question science authority.

That's great! Finally. Human Evolution is still a theory with huge gaps so might as well look into these gaps and maybe future scientists would be more open minded and be less afraid to explore areas what evolutiontards won't even touch.

It's going to be interesting to see what they come up with! I wonder if they will bring up Intervention Theory? [link to lloydpye.com]

where else but Tennessee would do this? Those southerners, are religioustards.

no wonder the states is in such bad shape

theres too many retarded religitards in positions of power

whats next- an elected official will decree that pi is 3??

oh thats right- `ya'll already did that...'

sad to see

Free speech first amend!

I love living in the Bible Belt.

you are joking right?So according tpo you we have to listen to the nonsense of evolution?So you can teach nonsense like evolution but not the truth of the Holy Bible?

You are joking right.
the Bible speaks of planets on ordit.Science didnt know that until recent.It talks of the universe expanding that snakes have ears(known by science for only 12 months)that there are pathways in the ocean (not known until 2 years ago)and it speaks in detail and describes nuclear weapons including how they work.It said that in 2009 things would change weather wise and earthquakes and floods would begin.Hosea gives the date if you understand it.It speaks of 9/11 and of the dead birds and fish across the globe and MUCH more.The Holy Bible is full of info and facts.It is the nonsense of evolution that destroys and the satanic influences that arise when God is thrown out.

The bible.... LOL

The bible is a VERIFIED PLAGIARISM of ancient Egyptian texts, namely the Book of the Dead, the coffin Texts, the Pyramid Texts and the heiroglyphs themselves. Nearly EVERYTHING in Christianity can be traced back to ancient Egypt.

It's good to see that Tennesseeans respect freedom of thought and speech and are not afraid to show it.

BTW, 50% of life scientists do not endorse the theory of evolution as fact. I am one of the 50%.

I agree that microevolution occurs. It is, in fact, provable. However, I do not agree that macroevolution occurs.

Additionally, one can be a creationist and agree that microevolution also happens.

Today, more and more life scientists are coming to the conclusion that creation and (micro)evolution are not necessarily mutually exclusive phenomena.

This will not end well.

The 600 Darwin Dissenters signing the A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism represent about 0.054% of the estimated 1,108,100 biological and geological scientists in the US in 1999. In addition, a large fraction of the Darwin Dissenters have specialties unrelated to research on evolution; of the dissenters, three-quarters are not biologists.[152] Therefore, the roughly 150 biologist Darwin Dissenters represent about 0.0157% of the US biologists that existed in 1999. As of 2006, the list was expanded to include non-US scientists, overestimating the number of US scientists that do not accept evolution according to the Discovery Institute,[153] a known creationist lobby institution

I'm NOT a evolutionist but I'm willing to concede that atheists come from chimps.

From a creationist perspective, the Earth is thought to be approximately 6,000 years old. Thus, by conservative estimates the history recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible predates ancient Egypt by about 2300 years.

In 3700 b.c. the first settlers arrived in the Nile Valley in Egypt and in 969 a.d. the city of Cairo was founded.

The Bible is in no way based on ancient Egyptian texts including texts in the Book of the Dead, coffin texts, pyramid texts, and hieroglyphics.

It is based off of Sumerian Cuneiform,oh and by the way it predates the bible by at least 2,000 years.

Creationism doesn't contradict evolution...intervention theory is more plausible than traditional evolution also...it all, even the little pieces, had to come from somewhere.

They are extremely protective of their club...even with proof they will call it a hoax. This is why Lloyd Pye must be extremely well documented and follow scientific protocol carefully to prove Star child skull IS alien, but in the end "science" will discredit the DNA scientists or otherwise find fault somewhere in order to protect what they want to believe.

No beer on Sunday is retarded though...just stock up on Saturday, but still...

The Bible was inspired by God. It was not derived from Sumarian cuneiform texts.

BTW, unless YOU read Sumarian cuneiform what makes you so sure that the Bible was derived from Sumarian cuneiform texts?

It helps them sleep at night...

Being a very religious person, I subscribe to Intelligent Design, but please stop, postings like this make us look like idiots.

Intelligent Design has NOTHING to do with this 6,000 year old Earth crap.

All this time I thought the "Bible" was inspired by the Council of Nicea.

Kids should be allowed to question everything. So I figure this is a good thing. It should work both ways though.

Your country is ... devolving.
