It was just a matter of time before some one decided to challenge another aspect of science other than Evolution. Well folks only in the wonderful state of Florida could that have happened.
Late last night our old friend Sen Storms(R) filed a Bill SB 666asking for Academic Freedom in the Teaching of Astronomy. In a interview with the local media Storms stated that “There isn’t even a theory of astronomy,we can see how the stars are not just randomly scattered in the sky.They are placed there for a purpose.Look at the North Star, it’s placed exactly in the right position to guide us at night,our children should be made aware of this.
In a statement from the Discovery Institute Dr Bill Gough a expert in astrology offered support for the Bill. “It is just a extension of Fine Tuning” he commented,”The Universe is obviously Intelligently Designed,any fool can see this,yet these arrogant astronomers are afraid to expose our school children to both side of the controversy.” “We have many scientists who are now accepting there is a major flaw in modern astronomy but are afraid to speak out”
Happy Monkey! 🙂
Ha ha ha ha! I hear that CSB 666 is about to be released by one of the House committees that will require that teachers teach about the controversy over the irrational nature of pi, set the square root of -1 as -1, and forbid the use of complex numbers.
Gosh, I almost spilt my cornflakes all over the computor,you are so bad!
😉
Ronda’s bill must be that virus we’ve all been expecting today.
About time we have a bill like this. Astronomers are so thin on facts they even name things they can’t see, i.e. black holes. They have “faith” it’s there but where have we heard that before?
Excellent!
Many thanks – you made my day! lol
Ha ha ha! I was yelling and screaming as I read this post, and then I remembered what today is! =)
At last! Geocentricism is back, with a vengeance!!!
Considering that the Texas state board of education amended the standards so that students can consider “differing theories” on the origin of the Universe (I like this one), it’s not that far off the mark.
I still got a kick out this, thanks!
touché!
666 How about that.
Wow, I started to freak out about this before I realized that it was probably posted yesterday. The sad part is that it’s ACTUALLY a fairly believable stance for some of these guys.
