Not Win By Attrition

Ugh, ugh...super ugh and sheez. Is part of their plan to win by attrition. Last man standing wins, the last philosophy remaining takes the metaphorical..."all" that winners keep talking about. Like I have said many times before, to fight the same battles over and over in the war against, let's say, a woman's right to choose, separation of church and state and the bad ol' battle for the science classroom called creationism, is stupid and and a waste of time (but totally needed).

An Indiana Senate committee passed a horrible bill that would allow schools to teach creationism along side evolution in the science classroom...as equals.  Did I say stupid head already. Forget that there is already legal precedent in favor of the athei...err, I mean science (something like the law never stops religion). Fortunately the super awesome ACLU is on the scene. I guess they do not want individual schools-with uber American Christian school board members that probably do not have an understanding of basic science, but did read, I dunno, Kirk Camerons latest God book-deciding if their particular religion is represented in the science classroom as an equal to real science.

They have the slogan Teach The Controversy (that was "them", this is us) but of course that is just typical American Christian hijacking, again. The implication is that those sneaky scientists are hoarding the truth and keeping the real truth away from those poor innocent students because they only wanna teach their Dawin's scripture, evolution. That's what they say.

What I say is that the only thingy controversial is that they are attempting to inject American Christianity into the science classroom, again. It was decided long ago that creationism and Intelligent Design are merely bad camouflage for American Christianity trying to "hide" their way into the science classroom and an attempt to teach Genesis as a theory of the origin of the universe and people of da erffs, which is a violation of church and state. Theoretically, if schools were to *teach the controversy* then each science classroom in every school would hafta teach every creation myth from every culture that ever lived ever ever. Part of their controversy is that the other theories that are equal to evolution are being ignored and not being given equal time (even tho there are no other theories).

Really "they" want other perfectly normal adults to believe that da erffs is flat, 6-10,000 y/o, humans and dinosaurs  walked side by side, humans were perfectly formed right from the beginning and never changed (evolved), Adam and Eve are responsible for all the genetic diversity in the whole world, should I go on...snakes talk, homo's are bad, LGBT marriage somehow affects straight marriage to the extent that it (hetero marriage) will be destroyed, fossils were put there by Satan to tempt and test you, the Great Flood really happened, JC WIL come back to da erffs within "our" lifetime and "they" want to replace beautiful science with all this crap-o-la and more. Just say no Indiana.

I think the only thing that is controversial is that there are adults out there that think the disguises' in the names called creationism and Intelligent Design will FOOL other adults into thinking that there is a controversy in the first place. I think it's controversial that even a stupid person can do the simple math of the "equal time" argument and see that it is the definition of NOT PRACTICAL OR POSSIBLE. I guess that makes the Indiana Senate members that very stupid headed-ly passed the bill that is gonna waste everyone's time, again,  for a battle that has already been fought...and won...by us....Team Athei...err, Team Science.

* Yea buddy, you know I wuz reading the radio station Eagle County 99.3 FM for my news.

* H/T to @lukegeog (#teambro member, majoring in geology, battler of creationist nonsense)...

* Part of the *controversy* that the uneducated and brainwashed and probably homeschooling barefoot and prego mthers want you/us to believe is...there are other legitimate theories of the origins of the universe and of how humans evolved on the earth (there is not), scientists are purposely not teaching these theories because they hate god and there is some kinda conspiracy, but the fallacy that "they" commit it that they only wann teach their creation story and if "equal time" was really an issue, then we would have to give equal time to all the creation myths of all cultures and 1) that is not practical and 2) mythology does not belong in the science classroom....period. What is so hard to understand about that.
