Latest Challenges to the Teaching of Evolution

Been trolling the idiot boards again have you loser? Why don't you stay there permanently? Because no-one here is interested in the pathetic **** you dribble.

Anti-evolution resolution introduced in Oklahoma House
(Bart B. Van Bockstaele, Digital Journal, March 8, 2009)

Sometimes, facts are stranger than fiction, and here are these facts:

HR 1014: A resolution disapproving certain actions of the University of Oklahoma regarding the theory of evolution

HR 1015: A resolution opposing the invitation to Richard Dawkins to speak at the University of Oklahoma and encouraging certain discussion

Both resolutions were filed on March 3, 2009. To the best of my knowledge, they have not been discussed or voted and they are not binding. It is truly remarkable however, that a politician is trying to tell a scientific institution that it cannot teach science, and that it cannot invite prominent scientists.

The danger here is great. The theory of evolution is not merely a funny story we tell our children to amuse them just before bed.

Not teaching evolution in zoology class, is comparable to not teaching arithmetic in maths class, or not teaching gravity in physics class. In other words, without it, there is simply no science to talk about, just a collection of loose, unrelated facts that make no sense.

The theory of evolution is the basis of biology. Without it, as Dobzhansky is reputed to have said, nothing in biology makes sense. Biology without the theory of evolution is as useless as physics without classical mechanics or relativity.

Your free association with the Holocaust is about as stupid as your overall worldview .

The Alleghany CAve rat is adapted to the tops of the ALleghaeny mountains by developing a larger boidy, smaller tail, and different dentition.

You're claiming you side with Zippo and the slammites and what not on that one??

And he's still a rat, isn't he?

Go away asshole.

gunga-- it is a lapse in good taste to participate in a discussion in which you close yourself off from another contributor to it no matter what is said. You should welcome Wilso's efforts because they expose to view the true nature of the atheist position and I incline to think that most civilised people will be reluctant to associate themselves with it. The idea that it might appear in a classroom is abhorrent and that it might condition the members of school boards and the administrative bureaucracy of education is horrendous.

And the same applies to such things as

No sense can be made of discussions between the vulgar using vulgarity as a weapon. Only gentlemen of erudition and impeccable manners such as myself are capable of discovering an acceptable compromise between what are incompatible viewpoints. All vulgarity achieves is to render the incompatabilty more severe and no solution is then possible despite it being necessary that one is possible.

ie. Drop dead you worthless ****.
