Whats up with Texas BOE

[jdt]

found this article today on CNN, I expected it to say some school board with 175 students in Hailpounded west texas was debating this but its actually the BOE

IMO heating/cooling and lighting a puclic building for more than five minutes to debate evolution is a crime against nature. There are really only two choices here folks, evolution or "other" speak up what you think


Oooh Oooh Aaah Aaah(thats my stance

)

Anyone doing independent study of natural history and Darwin's theory will quickly discover that there are numerous leaps-of-faith and weak spots in it. Does that mean it's wrong? Not necessarily.

This bill isn't about teach in Creationism or Intelligent Design. It's about allowing or requiring instructors to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the theory. This type of inquiry is central to the scientific method - and yet talk about weaknesses isn't allowed. Why?

I am far from surprised that CNN framed this in their typically inaccurate viewpoint. Sensationalism sells, right!
