Gov. Jindal is emphatically not a right wing nutcase.

Well spotted. I should have thought a bit before branding him with that particular, well, brand. I should have just dropped the “right-wing” bit. It’s hard for me to think of someone who earnestly performs exorcisms in this day and age as anything but a nut-case.

The rest of your comment is spot-on as well, of course.

2. Concerned Women for America is a Moonie front organization, as are Free Teen USA and Christian Heritage Foundation. Mumsey and Daddy Moon-Moon have a large monetary and philosophical interest in IDiocy. Jonathan Wells of the Discovery INstitute is one of their zombies.

3. Discovery Institute has no interest at all but to push Creationism, and to lie just as much as possible in the process. IDiocy has a much larger itinerary, which will lead to theocracy.

4. The Louisiana Legislature has behaved like a Soviet politburo in this case. “These are proposals put to this august body. Everyone vote!” All hands shoot up. “Is unanimous, comrades!” Of course, there is legal precedent. The ‘Balanced Treatment Act’, blatant YEC, was passed the same way in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

A good day for truth.

Science is about theory, not truth. You should head to a philosophy class.

A bad day for atheistic [i.e. -- false] science.

There’s no such thing as atheistic science. There is only science, which by the way can have nothing to say about whether gods exist or not, their being unfalsifiable by definition.

I hope that means the above was sarcastic.

Democracy rules!

Attempting to decide science in the legislature does not. Science is decided by experiment and peer review, not by bills and court cases.

Your kind are abusing the democratic system when they try to sneak religion into science classes.

A dark day for science.
