Kansas outlaws evolution

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

Sick and tired of all the debate on evolution, Kansas lawmakers have simply outlawed it:

I love this quote:

"If Earth's species were meant to change over successive generations through physical modifications resulting from the adaptation to environmental challenges, then God would have given them the genetic predisposition to select mates and reproduce based on their favorable heritable traits and their ability to thrive under changing conditions so that these advantageous qualities would be passed down and eventually encoded into the DNA of each generation of offspring," Olathe public school teacher and creationist Joyce Eckhardt said. "It's just not natural."

Under particular scrutiny are single-cell microorganisms, with thousands of field labs being installed across the state to ensure that these self-replicating molecules, notorious for mutation, do not do so in a fashion benefitting their long-term survival.

ROFL

Thanks for the fun link.

The Onion continues to be brilliant! Here's a couple of related "news" items this made me think of.

Jesus man, don't scare me like that.

This has to be one of the best Onion articles ever. They are so good at picking out the nuances of the absurdity and magnifying them in the article.

Ah... You have to love the irony that this is just the sort of thing the Onion article was lampooning.

sorry, but it doesn't matter what is posted in response, Tai doesn't read it. I'm on the ignore list.

Everyone is.

But the link Tai gives us has another fun link to check out. How to start your own church. I already have the building.

I like how SUPER FRIENDLY the cover of that book is in that image. Hahahaha.

Before I clicked on the link, I almost believed this. There are people out there who believe we just SPAWNED OUT OF THIN AIR fully human with an immune system and other features that we've adapted to over time.

No doubt. That's totally nutty. We were obviously made on the Sixth Day of All of Time by the hand of God in the image of God... out of mud. Our being made out of thin air is silly! What, are they a bunch of zealots?! God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

Oh, and our features were adapted over time. It took sky-dad a whole day to roll that dirt into dude shape. Didn't they play with Play-Doh as a child? That's better than any biology lab.

Is that like where Ford and Arther throw themselves at the ground, then simply get distracted at the last moment?

Unfortunately I always do it the other way round.

Just a thought.
At our current rate of evolution it's not likely to be in our life times that the rest of the planets evolutionary progress passes that of those who are stuck in Kansas...

Which really is a shame because that could be great fun!

In this case, isn't "Evangelical Scientists" an oxymoron?
