Hi Erin and all,
<<<Mr. Hood's bill (HB 679) is only a paragraph long but would require
teachers to use evidence both "supporting or consistent" with the theory of
evolution, as well as evidence "not supporting or inconsistent."
I think this is reasonable as long as evidence is
really evidence. I would have a problem if creationists
pulled out Bible quotes as evidence.. . .>>>
Mr. Hood's requirement is reasonable (even desirable) if applied to ALL
scientific theories. However, when applied selectively to the teaching of
evolution but not to other scientific theories like atomic theory,
relativity or thermodynamics, it stinks of hypocricy. It belongs to 17th
century Italy, not 21st century America.
