In the Lone Star state I believe this is considered a sign of the Apocalypse.

When a science textbook can survive a thorough examination for errors by 3 college biology professors without finding any errors, then I'd say the textbook is pretty good and well worth other states to consider it use as well. <br /><br />The evangelicals must be desperate now that their efforts have failed. I wonder what their next move is, if they actually have one. One possibility they might have is to have the Texas Legislature write specific guidelines of what should be included in science text books. They could try to have creationism to be included in all science textbooks, and with the Tea Party seeming to have so much influence in Texas it could possibly happen.m bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613077834795914289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-2781295984396926502013-12-19T15:11:09.428-09:002013-12-19T15:11:09.428-09:00Actually, I might be wrong, but what I remember he...Actually, I might be wrong, but what I remember hearing about this was that the xtian involved was concern-trolling that the science data may not be accurate enough. Something about a conflict over whether the Earth took 4 or 4.5 million for the mantle to cool.<br /><br />'cause that was their brilliant new tactic, to call into question the veracity of the science on it's own merits. Discredit it first, then use the opening to suggest creationism is just as valid.<br /><br />Or something like that.Boscoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-27795125636471604642013-12-19T15:05:26.762-09:002013-12-19T15:05:26.762-09:00Evangelist maniacs like Ken Hamm have been teachi...Evangelist maniacs like Ken Hamm have been teaching 2-3 generations of children that wht they read in the bible is scientific law. <br /><br />So as they grow up and take positions on things like city councils and school boards, they bring to the table what they've been taught - that the bible is filled with not only historic but scientific facts - and are ultimately confused when confronted with actual facts.<br /><br />They - today's young evangelists - are only fighting for what they were taught is truth.
