I am a scientist and I do not worship "SCIENCE" because there is nothing to worship. Science is a collection of techniques along with a modicum of proven facts that fit the observed information. Many of the facts become disproven when more accurate observations are made. Science is a way to discover what is instead of what they told me is.

All religions state with the postulate that there is a Supreme Being called GOD. That is their first mistake. Their second is trying to make me and others believe anyway

The far right never ends with their non-stop stupidity, not that that's a bad thing. It brings non-stop entertainment

Yes, the sky daddy is what created all the things around you. there is no such thing as evolution!



Next Generation Science Standards In Kentucky Draw Hostility From Religious Groups
So you say "Kentucky"

Do you mean the state, all the people in the state, or something else? Read the article and it says a religious group. Not the state. Get real please.

Me, I'm a populist on the side of the Middle Class and the poor. There's not much money in it, but I'd rather be on the side of the people than the 1%'ers.

Different strokes.
That's my cutesy saying? I have no idea what you're talking about. I was quoting what someone else said in regards to conservatives always mentioning "the elite".

I understand, in haste, redundant statements present themselves from time to time..But you might want to check for them before you go on calling people "stupid".

What about the OP's ignorance in blaming KY when the state instituted the new standards by citing the objections of some religious extremists?

Holy broken logic batman!

I guess if Illinois passes some tougher rape sentencing laws and some crackpots disagree we can start a thead about how Illinois is populated by backwards cavemen that just want to rape people.

Why do CD users that are Atheist/Agnostic make dry religious jokes every time an objective argument against Science pops up? (NOT the original posters argument)

With Kentucky picking up the sunflower state's previously discarded battle flag in the war against science at least the few normal people left in Kansas can breathe a little easier. It seems like there is a daily game of red states fighting for the stupidity prize like Kansas and Kentucky trying to teach creationism in the public schools or Virginia and Louisiana trying to outdo each other in a pursuit to be recognized as the most anti-gay state in the union.

It looks like a few school boards should have focused a little more on reading. The state of Kentucky nor the majority of its residents did any such thing.
