Kentucky’s “Intellectual Freedom” Act
From: ScienceAndRelgionToday.com
Republican Representative Tim Moore has introduced a new bill in the Kentucky House of Representatives that would let teachers promote “objective discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of scientific theories” and “use, as permitted by the local board of education, materials in addition to state-approved texts and instructional materials for discussion of scientific theories including evolution, the origins of life, global warming, and human cloning.” The bill has been sent to the House Education Committee.
Like other “academic freedom” bills, this one claims not to be promoting any religious doctrine—though, to many, this bill (like the others) is a stealth attempt to undercut the teaching of evolution and sneak religious ideas like “intelligent design” into the science classroom. (Barbara Forrest, the leading member of a group advocating for sound science education, explains why such disclaimers are a “dead giveaway of the creationist (hence religious) agenda” of these acts.)
We were shocked to learn that Kentucky currently has a statute that allows instructors teaching evolution to “include as a portion of such instruction the theory of creation as presented in the Bible, and may accordingly read such passages in the Bible as are deemed necessary for instruction on the theory of creation, thereby affording students a choice as to which such theory to accept.” The statute also says that for students “who accept the Bible theory of creation, credit shall be permitted on any examination in which adherence to such theory is propounded, provided the response is correct according to the instruction received.”

The religion of Atheism teaching Darwinism has been in the school system for so long now that some people are delusional in thinking Darwinism has merit yet there is no evidence whatsoever for Darwinism. Above all, the use of reason and logic confirms the Holy Bible including the fact that the Holy Bible is scientifically confirmed.
Beyond Doubt – Christianity is True – Atheism is False http://bit.ly/5vtvvF
This is just silly. Obviously, you'll say just about anything to defend you beliefs. The Holy Bible is not more scientifically confirmed than Alice in Wonderland. You would like to think that it's true and scientific, but obviously it is not. That simply insults science, reason and logic. — Let me know when those 4 giant horseman are about to ride. I would like to watch!
You are mistaken, DailyAtheist, as I will not break, bend, or ignore the Ten Commandments to defend Christ Jesus nor do I have to break, bend, or ignore the Ten Commandments to defend Christ Jesus.
