What Are They So Afraid Of?

The latest battleground is down in Texas where scientists, teachers and boards of education are wrestling over the issue of evolution, intelligent design and creationism. Today's post is about a recent article in the Dallas Morning News which is the latest salvo from the scientific community.

Not only are they petrified of Intelligent Design (ID) and Creationism, they don't want children to be provided with any information which might suggest that there are weaknesses in their grand "theory" of evolution (which Charles Darwin himself suggested how his theory could be debunked which has largely come true but the elitist professionals refuse to acknowledge it).
95% Of Professors Back Teaching Only Evolution In Texas Schools
We know what they're afraid of:
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [Php 2:9-11 ESV]
And we know why they have no defense in hiding behind their "science" of evolution:
For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. [Romans 1:19-23 ESV]

You're an idiot. Of course you are so used to it by now that you don't feel it anymore. Four years of Bush, time to get back to reality based thinking.

Thanks for your rebuttal on the issue! I found your argument quite intelligent and logically based on factual evidence. I just might have to change my mind.

(And just between you and me, Bush has been in office for eight years. Perhaps you should consider retaking tenth grade again and political science before attempting to graduate from high school?)

You make me laugh Rich! Funny how all the negative comments on BOTH our blogs get left by the same person- Mr. Anonymous. Just too afraid to stand up for what they believe in, I guess:)

Well, my dear, that's quit the sexist remark. I prefer to refer to the anonymous (aka coward) poster as Mrs. ;-)

P.S. Cool. My word for the post verification was "dingo"! Maybe the dingo ate your bah-bee! :-)

I'm always getting strange words. Like now...it's "equous." Wait...is that even a word? :)
