I know it’s old but, I thought you should know that Ron Paul is a creationist nutter.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Rick Perry defended teaching creationism in Texas schools when confronted by a New Hampshire voter who told her son to ask Perry “why he doesn’t believe in science.”

“Evolution is a theory that’s out there,” Perry says crouching down and staring into the eyes of an elementary-school-age child, who stands with his mother’s hands on his shoulders.

“It’s got some gaps in it,” Perry continues, “but in Texas we teach both creationism and evolution…”

Really??? So you are willing to openly violate the constitution?

“Ask him why he doesn’t believe in science,” the mother interjects off camera.

Every kid need a mom this cool.

Putting both hands on the outside of the boy’s shoulders, Perry, not acknowledging the mother, says, “…because I figured you’re smart enough to figure out which one is right.”

I’m sure that the kid is but Mr. Perry clearly is not.  Please let us not have another nub from Texas!

Listen closely and see if you can catch any errors.  If you find one put it in the comments below and explain why it is wrong so the christian readers that come hear can learn from you!

Pop the champagne corks. The Texas Board of Education has unanimously come down on the side of evolution. In an 8-0 vote, the board today approved scientifically accurate high school biology textbook supplements from established mainstream publishers–and did not approve the creationist-backed supplements from International Databases, LLC.

“This is a huge victory for Texas students and teachers,” said Josh Rosenau, NCSE programs and policy director, who testified at the hearings this week. In his testimony, Rosenau urged the board to approve the supplements–recommended by a review panel largely composed of scientists and science educators–without amendments, and to reject International Database’s creationist submission. The board did just that, and asked for only minimal changes to the approved supplements.

In hearings yesterday, NCSE members and allies showed up in force. At least four times as many people testified in favor of the supplements as written, versus those opposing the supplements or demanding significant changes.

One hot button: the supplement from Holt McDougal. A creationist member of the review panel released a list of Holt’s supposed errors involving evolution and common descent. But in today’s hearing, the Texas Education Agency pointed out that the full membership of the review panel had not signed off on the list.

Ultimately, the board approved the Holt supplement, and directed Commissioner of Education Robert Scott to review the list of supposed errors, and to develop amended language for Holt to incorporate. NCSE and Texas education groups are confident Scott’s revisions will reflect the current state of evolutionary biology, and not any creationist alternatives.

Dr. Eugenie Scott, NCSE’s Executive Director is celebrating the decision. “These supplements reflect the overwhelming scientific consensus that evolution is the core of modern biology, and is a central and vital concept in any biology class. That these supplements were adopted unanimously reflects a long overdue change in the board. I commend the board for its refusal to politicize science education.”

The people over at Creation Science Evangelism say that Dragons are Dinosaurs.

It’s time to delve into the mystery surrounding those creatures known throughout the world in ancient times as dragons. Are they merely mythical, or do they have a basis in reality? The answer, based on tangible evidence documented from around the world, will astonish you. Dire Dragons provides revolutionary and profound evidence from ancient artwork that there is a real, powerful, documentable, and defensible connection between the dragons of ancient times and the dinosaurs we know so well from fossils. If you need to see the evidence, this book is for you.

Why? You ask!  Because the bible says there are dragons!

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” (Revelation 12:3)

“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” (Revelation 13:2)

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” (Revelation 12:9)

So, when those “evolutionists” tell you the bible does not talk about dinosaurs you can say, “Yes it does”.  What else will these wackos think up?
