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
.
Shhhhhhh...the right wing religious nutjobs can't tolerate things such as facts. That kind of talk just gets in the way of their ignorance.
And I thought Texas was bad. Way to go Kentucky, you've clearly passed us in your level of zealotry. I don't feel so bad now!
"Kentucky" said no such thing. According to your post, "The Kentucky Board of Education adopted the standards in June and held hearings to get public feedback on the standards last week before they were presented to the state legislature for official approval." They have heard dissent from some people.
Yeah, I was going to say that.
This thread title isn't just misleading, it's an outright lie. The Commonwealth of Kentucky (they're a commonwealth, right?) isn't doing anything of the sort.
Yes, that is well known. But the problem with science is that many of these "objective facts" are just sophistry painted as such.

'Poster boy'? LOL. I wonder why he chose functional magnetic resonance imaging as the 'poster boy'?
I could guess that he has his knickers in a knot because there are some studies using fMRI, MRI and PET scans that show observable differences in brain structure and functioning between heterosexuals and homosexuals.
His blind prejudice against gay and lesbian people therefore leads him to reject out of hand a scientific/medical tool that is very useful in a lot of research on the brain eg Alzheimer's, brain tumors etc.

I doubt he even knows how fMRI works.
No...see this is where you are being dishonest. I never dismissed fMRI as a potentially useful tool. It MAY help reach conclusions one day on sexual orientation....or it may just go the phrenology route.
it's nice for obtuse observations but nothing meaningful, in regards to sexual orientation, has come from it.
The fact remains that you try and pass off your far drawn conclusions from very broad computer modeled interpretations as legit science.
