wande quoted, despite the continued irrelevance to the thread topic-
Quote:They wanted us to achieve academically. They wanted us to attend college and to have great careers. They wanted us to learn the scientific method and scientific principles, the tools we would need in the big, hostile world beyond Crescent City.
Elitist, snobbish, crowing claptrap.
Everybody's going to achieve academically like Bill. They are all going to college and have great careers like Bill does in an occupation most intellectuals equate with prostitution. They are all to learn the scientific method and become drystick pedants like Bill shows himself to be. And they are all going out into the big hostile world beyond their hometown and roots like the hero of Titanic did.
No sweepers up. No plumbers. No miners. No farmers. No grease monkeys. No layabouts. No shopgirls. No waiters.
Oh no. None of that. All a big deal success like Bill is.
He wants-
Quote:a right to present scientific information relevant to the full range of views on biological and chemical origins."
Oh no he doesn't. Just the parts he can stomach.
And here's the old reverse invidious comparison again-
Quote:Why, I keep asking myself, do we have elected officials, including House Speaker Marco Rubio, and so many average citizens who are amenable to keeping our children ignorant of scientific principles?
Which implies, but by no means proves, that Bill is up to speed on scientific principles.
I'll bet he has no recollection of the two sections of Genesis I linked to the other day. All he has is a smirking selective memory of begatting (shagging). {Sex it up Bill!! Ed.}
Quote:Why, I keep asking myself, do we have elected officials, including House Speaker Marco Rubio, and so many average citizens who are amenable to keeping our children ignorant of scientific principles?
Because more people voted for them you silly Billy. You can't get much thicker than finding yourself keeping asking yourself such a bloody stupid question like that. He's moving towards totalitarianism. Bill should be appointing the officials obviously. The public cannot be trusted with such an important task.
Notice that he compared notes with someone at the next desk. Another brilliant academic no doubt.
Quote:Neither of us could remember the biblical version of mankind's creation ever being mentioned in our classrooms.
Neither can I. The stories are so widespread that it would be difficult for anybody to remember that it was a classroom setting where they were heard. Bill, and his colleague, do remember the stories though which proves, by his own argument, that the stories should be censored out of everything and not just the classroom.
If his thesis that exposure to the biblical version of mankind's creation is running the US down the tube and he was not exposed to the story in the classroom shouldn't he be attacking the sources which he must have been exposed to to know about it.
Then this appears-
Quote:In my case, all of my relatives, except for a few incurable profligates, were devout Christians. My mother was God-fearing. Jesus Christ was her companion and savior. Her Bible was never far from her side, even at work. I admired her for her calm, reassuring faith.
A finer panegyric of Christianity and the Bible cannot be imagined unless one is an incurable profilgate and of a frenzied, nervous disposition.
Quote:We were taught Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in the classroom.
And this the result. A cracked-up and confused mad ranting machine filling up the white space on the other side of the massage parlour and other sex related adverts with which his wages are paid.
Quote:If passed, it will permit the teaching of creationism and intelligent design in our science classes.
Which will lead to the banning of those types of adverts as there are signs it is doing here.
What a silly man. What on earth are you thinking about wande putting his ridiculous, patronising, special pleading bullshit onto your own thread on an international science forum.
Scientific principles my fat arse. There's not a syllable of science in his whole begging spiel.
