Texas House Bill 1287: "Mandating" A Bible Course in High Schools

Who said anything about a conspiracy??

 

As much as I hate Christianity and love Satan, I still don't think that this is that big of a deal. It's hard to believe that a class that teaches (not preaches) the Bible will brainwash anyone into Evangelism. Hell, it's not that great of a book, but it's an interesting one to study, especially in relation to history. Someone who isn't a Christian could have a fucking great time in that class disproving the Bible with factual examples. Sounds like the kind of class I would have taken for the lulz back in high school just to piss off Christians.

 

Frankly, I don't find the Darwinian theory to hold any more weight than creationism as taught by the Bible. I think they are equally bogus.

 

:smilielol5:

 

The Darwinian theory, which has always been just that; a theory, has been disproven time and time again as fossil evidence is unearthed showing mankind to be far older than initially believed. I don't believe man was once dragging his knuckles on the floor of the jungle, only to evolve into what he is today for whatever unknown reason. Darwin didn't even come up with what is credited as "his" theory. His grandfather, Erasmus, did. Charles Darwin merely went public with it. Now it's taught and swallowed as gospel fact.

 

I'm quite sure it has been disproven many times by some people.
It is a quirk of fate we emerged how we are now, I too have no idea why.
Darwins thoeory is his own...
His grandfathers theories are his own...
Please don't try and say they were both the same, they were not.

And why not, obviously evolution has holes in it, but so far it makes the most sense with the evidence at hand. Hell if anything Neanderthals alone should provide enough evidence for evolution. An almost human animal, capable of making tools, clothes and language but not quite human existing at the same time as humans, and evolution played it's card, they died out, homo sapiens kept going.

Hell look at your eyeball, that alone is evidence we came from the jungle. Why do humans and other primates have the ability to pick up red colors like no other animals which gives us our awesome sense of color? Simple, red leaves in the jungles and trees early primates lived in were the most nutritious. What about where they're placed? Humans have predator eyes like cats, yet before we came up with tools out hunting skills were pretty limited as we were dinner on the plains for much stronger animals, why would we and other primates have eyes like that? Simple, depth perception, jumping around from branch to branch you need to know how far away it is. But that leaves a problem, very small primates would be vulnerable from attack not only from behind but from the air. How do you combat this? Live in groups. What happens when you live in groups and constantly see each other, you develop a much better sense of each others emotions, and you begin to learn from one another, and time goes on.......

Or you know, shit just happened that way and we lucked out with being able to see pretty colors.

Then there's DNA, the bonobo is genetically the closet living relative humans have, aside from how much they can act like humans(when they want you to play with them they'll gesture with their hand for you to come over like a child), tell me this picture of a bonobo and it's child aside from being ridiculously cute doesn't reek of human

Don't get him started on gravity.

 

Oh god don't get me started on the bermuda triangle

 

This will last until some pagan mother sues the state to get the Book of Shadows or whatever, taught as an elective course.

 

Well down in Texas they are probably still talking about the "Heather has Two Mommies" that ended up on somebodys curricula somewhere.

The bigger question is: can kids read and write, do math and think critically. and at what cost to the taxpayer.

The school system where I am at has enough of these problems so I could give a shit what happens in some far away place.

 

Can you provide some of this evidence?

I'm not trying to call you out, I've just been very interested in this topic lately and would like as much information as I can get. An article about scientists who managed to create self replicating RNA strands got my curiosity rolling. Every defect in the RNA chain would be passed on to all succeeding copies. It doesn't prove that this is how life got started, but its the first explanation for how life could have spontaneously created itself that seems feasible.

Do you think evolution as a whole fails to explain life or just that scientists arranged the fossils incorrectly?

 

God bless those pagans.

 

These are the same idiots who believe in a literal 6 day creation and that earth is flat and that the sun orbits the earth and is not even a star like the ones we see at night. They also believe that evolution (or EVIL-ution as they call it) is a "false religion". Their lack of belief in evolution
happening really shows in that they have not evolved with the rest of humanity. They also believe those prophecies from ancient times which are only fulfilled later on because later generations (them that is) read them and try to fulfill them, thinking that destiny is calling them. This is called the "Nostradamus Effect". There's nothing wrong with believing in God and Jesus, but these religious nut-jobs fail to remember that when the text of the Bible and other religious holy books were originally written, they were written in a manner that a simpler and more primitive human society would understand. Ancient Jews would not have understood the modern nebular theory of how our solar system was created from a large cloud of dust and gas, but they could understand "the earth was without form". They also didn't understand the geo-mechanics of volcanoes or electricity in thunderstorms, so they attributed volcanic eruptions and lightning bolts to God or the gods depending on the civilization. In other words, they thought such things were supernatural. We know now that there's nothing supernatural about volcanoes and lightning.

 

What a shock, the guy that thinks 9/11 was a new world order/ Illuminati conspiracy does not believe in evolution.

 

Religion in public schools I think is just not right,just seems to be a slippery slope with no end.What about seperation of church and state,seems like the religious right have forgotten about that.If you belive in god then fine go to a religious school and leave me alone.

 

I believe they are referring to a theological class, not a prayer circle or something to that regard.

 

how then do you think we got here?

how do you exlain a flounders fucked up eyes and fins other than an adaption from swimming upright to swimming sideways on the ocean floor?



why are some whales still born with hind legs but never sharks or fish?
evolution has perfect answers for all these questions. it would be so easy to disprove if it wernt true, just show us rabbit fossils that came from precambrian rock. but you wont cause there are none because rabbits didnt exist in precambrian earth.
have you really taken a good look at the fossil record?
