Alert: Louisiana
Louisiana looks like it might be requiring anti-evolution disclaimers. Any Louisiana citizens should make their voices heard NOW!

What a bunch of morons that don't realize that science didn't stop 140 years ago.

I'm not surprised. This is the same state that had an "equal time for creationism" law in the 1980's.

I think we should make a deal with the creationists. We'll let them put disclaimers on the biology textbooks if they will allow similar disclaimers to be put on Bibles. Such as:
Warning! The accounts depicted in this book on the origin of life are completely unsubstantied and/or refuted by scientific evidence and common sense. Over 99% of scientists do not agree with the creation account depicted in this book. The creation of life as described herein was developed by semi-literate Bronze Age goat herders of unknown credibility. Proceed at your own risk. |

Good news.
The disclaimer was voted down. Sometimes the good guys win one. |
