Comments on: Creationists Ready for Court Battle http://www.texasobserver.org/blog/?p=948 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:28:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Sherrie http://www.texasobserver.org/blog/?p=948#comment-78074 Sherrie Thu, 05 Jun 2008 21:39:54 +0000 http://www.texasobserver.org/blog/?p=948#comment-78074 If creationists are now considered scientists, I see no reason not to call astrolgers astronomers and alchemists chemists. If creationists want to call evolution a "theory," fine, although that begs the question as to what they think the definition of a scientific theory is. But why do they not also consider Genesis a theory? If evolution is "unproven" as they claim, what is the basis for their assumption that Genesis has been proved? And what will be their policy toward students who reject creationism? Will they flunk the class until they "get it right" i.e. become good little robotic Christians? (Or maybe they'll be burned at the stake). If creationists are now considered scientists, I see no reason not to call astrolgers astronomers and alchemists chemists.

All of the religious lunatics in this state are making me sick, though. This is a total sham! Haven't any of these people taken a real science class? Keep religion out of our schools! I want my kids learning about real science, not what your church thinks ought to be science. I thought this was the 21st century, not the dark ages. And guy - keep on posting. Assuming your post wasn't a joke, you expose the creationist lobby for what they are: unintelligent, and totally unfamiliar with the basic tenets of science.

The degree should be limited to a degree in divinity. Their views are religious views, not science. To claim otherwise is a fraud. What a fraud. The degree should be limited to a degree in divinity.
