Florida Senate Passes Bill Allowing Evolution To Be Challenged In Schools
Dude, there is no way you would ever convince me that these girls evolved from primordial soup.
Thank you, God, for creating Woman. Thank you very, very much!
Overheard:
“Oh! You mean to tell me that the theory of evolution is just a theory?”
“You mean to tell me that in every fossil museum in the world, amongst the hundreds of thousands of fossils that are registered, recorded, and on display that there is not ONE of a creature in a transitional state?”
“Yep, that’s what I’m telling you.”
“So then evolution really is just a theory that has never actually been proven?”
“That’s right.”
“Know why?”
“Why?”
“Because you can’t prove an untruth…”
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A bill that would let teachers challenge evolution with “scientific information†has passed in the Florida Senate.
Opponents charged in debate Wednesday that it would allow the teaching of intelligent design or other religious theories they say masquerade as science.
The bill would prohibit teachers from being penalized for offering “scientific†alternatives but loosely defines that term.
It passed 21-17 and now goes to the House. That chamber is considering a version of the bill that would not just permit but require teachers to present “critical analysis†of the theory of evolution. The Senate rejected that version of the bill.
