- inactive, on 03/26/2009, -29/+373If these bible based moonbats are so right about things, why didn’t the lord make the school board vote come out differently?
Maybe he was too busy watching over Kurt Warner’s throwing arm. - egodbois, on 03/26/2009, -14/+279A narrow victory is better than no victory at all. Science FTW.
- bicyclethief, on 03/26/2009, -8/+267Science won on a 7-7 tie?
That's just ***** scary. - inactive, on 03/26/2009, -14/+240Science, it works bitches.
- Hetman, on 03/26/2009, -12/+207It is sad that this is still an issuie. Do they have to fight these battles in other modern countries or is this just an american thing?
- egodbois, on 03/26/2009, -1/+142He's too busy not striking Penn & Teller, Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher dead.
- daprice, on 03/26/2009, -6/+141The vote was 7 to 7, so the creationist measure lost only because it was a tie. Half the board supported the measure. I live in Texas, and it's scary that it came that close.
- calebian, on 03/26/2009, -12/+106Thank Science! I live in Dallas, and I'm glad that I don't have to defend myself over this ***** anymore.
- bicyclethief, on 03/26/2009, -5/+96He's definitely not punishing me for masturbating that's fo sho.
- staffa, on 03/26/2009, -3/+88Uh huh, and when is the last time you got laid. Ya, thats what I thought.
He works in mysterious ways. - NinjaGod, on 03/26/2009, -7/+90It was a tie. Science should be winning by a landslide. This is just ***** up.
- noisician, on 03/26/2009, -1/+76Mostly US, though the madness may be spreading.
- vinod1978, on 03/26/2009, -1/+71Yeah - other countries fight about these things - like Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. So we're in great company...
/s - HoboMaster, on 03/26/2009, -1/+63Lawl. HOORAY, THE END OF THE WORLD! YOU SINNERS WILL GET WHAT'S COMING TO YOU! I CAN'T WAIT TILL YOU ALL BURN IN HELL!
Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly how Jesus would've felt. - Hetman, on 03/26/2009, -3/+63I like how they changed the argument. It is not about "creationism" anymore. It is about holes in the theory of evolution. How come the texas board of education is not up in arms about the holes in the theory of universal gravity?
- Mandeponium, on 03/26/2009, -13/+69I'm a Christian and I believe in evolution. Why do Religion and Science have to be pitted against each other? They're two separate entities. Keep them separate.
- homer4199, on 03/26/2009, -10/+64Science be praised!
- theexitwound, on 03/26/2009, -7/+59Go look up 'theory' in the scientific language. Theories can be accepted as fact, but are rarely ever proven to be factual. Gravity is still up for grabs too. I do agree with your final statement though.
- inactive, on 03/26/2009, -7/+56Wow when science wins barely over creation myth, you know there gonna be some book burning around soon enough.
- PhYk3n, on 03/26/2009, -4/+51Religion should stay out of school, if parents want their kids to learn about god and how his is apparently so great, send them to church on sunday when they are preached about all that BS. School is for learning solid and proven facts,
- haiduz, on 03/26/2009, -9/+55Just for you Paul Tards out there....
Ron Paul is from Texas and he rejects the theory of evolution.
If he was on this board instead of one of the pro-evolution poeple, he would break the tie and science would have LOST. You would trust this man to be president, but not on this texas school board? Now thats ***** scary.
//ATTN SPAMBOTS: Please dont forget to down vote so you can hide my truthful but negative comment about your faultless leader from the non-paultard population - richirwin, on 03/26/2009, -3/+47truth hurts.
- HoboMaster, on 03/26/2009, -1/+43We witness evolution of rapidly replicating lifeforms (such as bacteria and viruses) on a regular basis, and there is lots of evidence suggesting this has occurred with the slower reproducing life forms as well.
On the other hand there is a book that not even all believers (such as myself) agree shows evolution didn't happen.
Don't try to make the two equal. - aTroll, on 03/26/2009, -14/+56Why do people consistently aim to have low standards of education? Science is a damn near objective view of the universe. Accept what's proven. What evidence points to God existing? If there was any, there would be much more logical arguments.
- kingmanic, on 03/26/2009, -0/+41You missed the whole semester on the basics of science did you? Science is made of theories. Theories are "models" which have some sort of predictive implications and can be falsified. Like if I have a theory your mother is a whore then it implies I can pay her for sex. If we could prove your mother never accepts money for sex then we have falsified my theory. If we found someone who paid your mother for sex then we have supported that theory. If your mother is dead and we want to support my theory then we do some DNA analysis on you and your father if you do not match your fathers DNA profile we can speculate your mother may have been a whore and we have some weak support for my theory.
Creationism has is not a scientific theory neither is intelligent design because neither makes any scientific predictions. If a all powerful god made a bird how do we falsify that? What does it imply?
Evolution is a strong scientific theory because it does make predictions and all of them have been supported or have amended the theory. It implied some type of inheritance molecule. We found that (DNA). It implied there would be some mechanism for new traits. We found that (mutation). We have a lot of support for evolution. Evolution has withstood almost 200 years of harsh scrutiny and revision. The theory is now as entrenched as gravity or the theories of thermo dynamics. - inactive, on 03/26/2009, -1/+42Agreed, Got Fatal ERROR the first time, thought it didn't post, sorry
- fretfree, on 03/26/2009, -10/+50Whew!!
- Barackalypse, on 03/26/2009, -1/+41Judging by Texas schools science performance, science has already been destroyed by the crappy educational system:
"Only 20% of Texas teens have passing mastery (a score of 70% of better) in science.
Only 24% of Texas high school graduates are ready for college-level science.
40% of science teachers in the lowest performing schools failed their science certification examination at least once."

- yocouchdigga, on 03/26/2009, -2/+37wow, buried for being a ***** IDIOT.
- deculture, on 03/26/2009, -4/+39Seems about right. Half our state is hicks unfortunately.
- HoboMaster, on 03/26/2009, -0/+35That's not true, there's actually a lot of empirical evidence to support evolution. It's not perfect, but it's the best theory we have by miles.
- IllBeBack, on 03/26/2009, -0/+35Son, it sounds like your cuckoo clock is stuck and won't stop cuckooing.
Might want to get that looked at. So when is your prediction for the end of the world? Are you in the 2012 camp?
How does it make you feel to always be wrong about these sorts of things? Do you resort to the "god's plan" defense very often? - theSAMOL, on 03/26/2009, -1/+35Yes, Jesus was all about hating your fellow man because he thinks differently and wishing eternal torture on them. I'm sure I can find a verse to back that up.
But seriously, Christians who anticipate armageddon with any emotion other than fear or sorrow scare the living ***** out of me. Some of you people really need to take a step back and think about what you are eagerly awaiting: the rampant destruction of our planet and the deaths of billions of people, most of whom will be sent to an eternal hellfire where they will be tortured for the rest of time. All because their religion (or lack of) was not the correct answer to the great question. What a loving deity.
Such a fantastic religion, let me tell ya. - inactive, on 03/26/2009, -0/+32Moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat ʇɐquooɯ moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat ʇɐquooɯ moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat ʇɐquooɯ moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat ʇɐquooɯ moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat ʇɐquooɯ moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat ʇɐquooɯ moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat ʇɐquooɯ moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat moonbat
- bicyclethief, on 03/26/2009, -2/+32Either way, we all get sleepy afterwards.
- EricSchC1, on 03/26/2009, -0/+29***** off with your "us humans know there's a God and what God wants" *****.
- Bdog2g2, on 03/26/2009, -1/+30hit a religious nerve did he?
guess we didn't get to the part about tolerance, love thy neighbor, love thy enemies...stuff like that
Well Sunday's pretty close, perhaps you can jot down those to discuss with ones spiritual servant (pastor, preacher, or priest). - takamalak, on 03/26/2009, -0/+28You stupid J-Dub. Thankfully you guys are loosing youths by the dozen every day.
- FLarsen, on 03/27/2009, -0/+27@anononon: Needs more moonbat.
- sivyr, on 03/26/2009, -2/+29Did your science teachers go on tyrades about the faults in the Bohr-Rutherford model of the atom, or the faults in General Relativity? I'm not saying it's wrong of them to point out weaknesses in the theory, but it's unfair to do so unless they are equally required to state the sheer amount of evidence that would be required to overturn it also.
The problem is that you're teaching this to a lot of high-school kids; many of which will never go on to further education, and they'll probably only remember that their science teacher taught them that evolution might be incorrect because it has flaws. While that is technically correct, it leaves very much the wrong impression as it's not telling the whole truth, and I really don't think that's the kind of science education our kids should be getting.
It's like misquoting someone in an attempt to skew the point they're making. If you don't describe the mountain of evidence we have clearly, then picking away at flaws appears a lot more significant. - holyskeleton, on 03/26/2009, -9/+36i'll be damned.
oh wait... - Solkre, on 03/26/2009, -3/+30So does hitting the comment button once.
- rationalist, on 03/27/2009, -5/+31Um, ithejosh, not so much.
Barack Obama does not believe in creationism.
Joe Biden does not believe in creationism.
Hillary Clinton does not believe in creationism.
John Edwards does not believe in creationism.
Bill Richardson does not believe in creationism.
Chris Dodd does not believe in creationism.
John Kerry does not believe in creationism.
Al Gore does not believe in creationism.
Bill Clinton does not believe in creationism.
Dennis Kucinich....is Dennis Kucinich (does not believe in creationism, but thinks he was visited and possibly abducted by UFOs, so take that as you wish)
I could go on, but let me just fix that for you:
"Almost every ***** Republican politician believes in creationism."
There, better. - IllBeBack, on 03/26/2009, -1/+27Make him, Internet Tough Tard.
- HoboMaster, on 03/26/2009, -3/+28Here's a hint: there are two creation stories in Genesis. They don't agree with each other.
- nyar, on 03/26/2009, -2/+27People who disparage evolution by saying that evolution is not a fact don't make any sense. A fact is an objective and verifiable observation, such as "I am 6 feet tall" or "this room is 68 degrees fahrenheit". A theory is an attempt to explain facts that are observed. No amount of evidence, no matter how convincing, can turn a theory into a fact. The only way that the status of a theory would change would be if somebody discovered evidence to *disprove* it, thus making it no longer a valid theory.
Saying that evolution is a theory (and continues to be one after generations have tried and failed to disprove it) is about the strongest thing you can say in its favor. - aduzik, on 03/26/2009, -1/+26Why not have a vote requiring teachers to point out the flaws in gravity, or Newtonian physics? That's because those don't contradict religious doctrine. So no, this isn't about having an honest discussion about theory. It's about creating doubt in the kids' minds so their mommies and daddies don't get pissed off that they don't believe five lines in a 2,000 year old book.
- 47f0, on 03/26/2009, -1/+25And there never will be "one animal leaping to a completely different animal". That is NOT how evolution works.
No mutations are beneficial? Try nylonase. That's a fairly handy mutation. - Skishy101, on 03/26/2009, -1/+25What I hate is that creationists are so closed minded. If they are so worried about their children being taught about evolution then maybe they should sit down with them at home and teach them about creationism themselves. I was raised a christian and my mom never tried to "protect" me from school education. When it came to evolution we sat down and she also told me about what the Bible said about creationism. Its not like I was going to be damned to hell for hearing another view of how life started.
Its called parenting people! You can teach your kids too! -
