Agreed. I live in Texas and we bother with no creationism in schools.

Well, then if they taught creationism, then you wouldn't like it. That's my point right there. Why fund something you don't agree with?

Creationism isn't science.

Science for science class, theology for theology class..... There is no reason why theology should be taught in a science class.

Yeah. The source says absolutely nothing about teaching creationism in science classrooms.

Because everything a leftist news says about a right-wing state is obviously true. Especially in an article about mormonism.

That's talking about mormonism specifically and apparently labels mormonism as a distinct religion, which puts the authors reliability in doubt.
Seriously do you even read your own sources?

Not really, no. I don't suppose a theology could not be wrong. And that theologies can indeed by contradicted by physical evidence, especially if they posit something physical in the process. Merely that as a matter of study they really do not belong together.
Such heroic nonsense!

I think the proportion would be somewhat higher or lower, depending on age group.

Also, 78% of statistics are made up on the spot.

C. Left-wing intolerance, "Well, 1/3 of Americans are idiots. They're what's wrong with America! Death to creationists!"

Yet another chapter in wacky tales of the left wing.


I'm not left wing. I don't believe in the inherent evil of hierarchy. In fact, I argue for a totalitarian society ruled over by a scholarly and technical elite, where those underneath have little to no rights as the pinnacle of potential human civilization. Which pretty much makes me the very definition of the extremely far right.

Get out of my wing, I mean really, the nerve. Attempting to infiltrate the right wing with the christian Commie god.
