Sorry John,

You must not live in Texas.

It would seem that the Wackos in Texas have turned science into better beatings.

I have not found the links to verify if this has passed, but I remember that it did.

So all science books for the next 10 years will have to teach "Evolution and Creationism" side by side.

Why not? What harm will it do? Nobody knows the origin of the
universe, or the origin of life, so the issues are still open. But
"creationism" should include all the reasonable stuff, like panspermia
concepts, genuine intelligent design, things like thatn ot just the
improbable mutation-and-selection dogma. ALL things that remain
unexplained should be taught as such.

And the majority of people will never be scientifically literate no
matter how much algebra you try to teach them. So give them some
practical knowledge and respect for physical stuff and, if they are so
inclined, some faith they can use to direct their lives. Don't mock
them for being what they are.

I am so happy I don't have kids in Texas. ( as a matter of fact, I don't have any kids :-)

Then you shouldn't worry about what other people want their kids to be
exposed to. Both of my daughters had a wide range of exposures,
religious and scientific, and they made up their own minds about how
to live.

Lighten up, folks. Show a little tolerance to people who aren't like
you, people who can't comprehend math or physics but need something to
believe in.

John and RogerN,

It would seem that the light'en up is needed by your fellow thinkers.

This is a free country, you are allowed to believe any ***-n-bull story you want.

But, when the law of the land is based on your delusions, I and other free thinkers have to call a stop to it.

If the wackos would just believe and keep it to themselves, there would be no discussion.

Science books would be written by those how use science in the best way they know how, and you can teach your delusions to your children at home.

Yes, you can have your own schools to teach 'kitty cat drowning" if you want to.

But this country was founded on separation of church and state.
Today it's "My church" or leave the country.

Please, believe what ever you want, teach your children what ever you want.

Just, Leave my country alone.
