Darwin vs. Dallas
December 12th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
If you are trying to look busy in the office today, the Higher Education Coordinating Board’s Committee on Academic Excellence and Research is scheduled to hear a pitch from the Institute for Creation Research at its monthly board meeting. The ICR wants to be able to grant graduate degrees in Texas. To check out the board meeting currently underway click here.
The ICR certainly is cutting edge. According to the institute, based in Dallas, “flexible blood vessels” discovered in dinosaur bones proves that dinos have only been around for centuries instead of millenia. Also, in the ICR’s December issue of Acts & Facts, the ICR’s director of research, Dr. Vardiman, discusses his scientific project called RATE (that’s radioisotopes and the age of earth for the uninitiated). His findings have led to the major conclusion that the Earth is thousands — not billions of years old. Dr. Vardiman admits he’s still struggling with some pesky scientific questions, however, such as how Noah and his family could have survived the massive dose of radiation unleashed from “accelerated decay” of organic matter during the Genesis Flood.

Speaking of the perplexed in higher education (sic) -
how about the truly righteous agony in Aggieland thanks to the pRick$ter!
The Pretty and The Stink
Really only workin’ both sides of the commitment fence!
Implausible prevaricatin’ pretense.
Cahoots secretly with Elsa Murano.
Kinda like a double crossin’ Aggie ‘Soprano’.
Yep, ol’ Eddie Joe had to go!
Pretty Boy was all aglow!
Excited about havin’ his name on the Ag Life Science Buildin’.
Regurgitatin’ still again deceivin’ verbal gildin’.
Riled across Aggieland as they began to chant -
Yieldin’ to his name only on an animal waste treatment plant!

Well, I thought comments weren’t enabled . . .
Nice to see I was wrong on that point.
Thanks for covering these meetings!
