Halleluja folks!

The Gov. of Texas,Rick Perry, is telling people that they teach both Evolution and creationism in Texas public schools.  He said they view it as a theory for Science class.

For Creationis­m to be considered a Science and not a subjective belief one would have to provide some empirical evidence. The mere fact it is called Creationis­m implies a Creator therefore one would first have to prove that such a thing exists as a Creator. Creationis­m belongs in the church and not in the classroom under the heading of Science. I fear this is just a ruse and a way in which bring more religion, specifical­ly the Christian version of Religion only, into the classroom under the guise of being science.

"In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that teaching creationism in public schools was unconstitutional. In the case Edwards v. Aguillard, the court ruled that teaching creationism in Louisiana public schools was the equivalent of teaching religion — and violated the Constitution because it advanced a particular religion."

Perry knows the science of evolution is correct, but like all politician­s, he’s more concerned with getting the presidency at all costs, than admitting the truth. So he ‘hints’ to mindless morons what they want to hear, that the world was created 6000 years ago.
How the leaders of other nations must be laughing at the prospect of such a man replacing Obama, rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of a leader more concerned with the myths of a bronze age god than the problems of the real world. A man who insists climate change is a hoax and prays for rain while Texas fries around him. Halleluja folks! This is the man you want to lead the country?
The economy is bust through years of overspendi­ng, living on a century of cheap oil that was supposed to last forever.

Sometimes I cry that , as a country, we are still having this discussion. A friend of mine asked me to show her proof that Evolution was a scientific fact. I just bowed my head and gave up.
