Evolution under attack in Utah.

House lawmakers scuttled a bill that would have required public school students to be told that evolution is not empirically proven -- the latest setback for critics of evolution.

The bill's sponsor, Republican state Sen. Chris Buttars, had said it was time to rein in teachers who were teaching that man descended from apes and rattling the faith of students. The Senate earlier passed the measure 16-12.

How can somebody be so damn stupid and still be elected to the state senate? This is just another example of people being so afraid of their superstitious beliefs being challenged that they attack the source of truth to keep from being confronted by the facts to dilute the chance that their point of view might be changed. "Run children the truth is coming! The truth is coming!"

This Buttars guy demonstrates his ignorance at every opportunity.

"I don't believe that anybody in there really wants their kids to be taught that their great-grandfather was an ape," Buttars said.

It is clear that he has no real knowledge of what the theory of evolution says about how we developed and how many millenia it took for that to take place. Read a book you dimwit!
