In today's April 11, 2012 Wall Street Journal there are three letters to the editor about the Christian war against science education in Tennessee. Thanks to advice from the fucking assholes of the Christian Creationist Discovery Institute on how to sneak magical creationism into public school science education, the fucking idiots of the Tennessee legislature have passed a bill that permits science denying science teachers to lie to their students about science. The bill uses the code words "weaknesses of evolution" which means "we don't understand science therefore the magic man did it."
There are scientific ideas that have a massive amount of powerful evidence. These ideas are called basic facts. They do not have weaknesses. There are usually research opportunities that will help explain these facts but these points for future understanding are not weaknesses. Two examples are our planet's orbit around our star and the evolutionary relationship of all creatures. These are basic facts. They have no fucking weaknesses.
Here are the three Wall Street Journal Letters to the Editor (in italics) with my comments:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee says that a bill in the state "would clearly gut science education in our schools" if teachers were permitted to point out weaknesses in various scientific theories ("Tennessee Is Lab for National Clash Over Science Class," U.S. News, April 6). Really?
As a nurse practitioner specializing in hematology/oncology, every day I am keenly reminded of the complexity of life and science. For far too long there has been an effort to conform young minds to think one way about science. Voices that might want to question gaps in various theories are being silenced. Shouldn't we challenge young people to think? Why so much opposition to questions? Why, when someone wants to discuss differences and weakness in various theories, is it seen as pushing a religion? Wendy J. Smith Colorado Springs, Colo.
Wendy J. Smith is a know-nothing dishonest Christian asshole. Notice the idiot who knows nothing about biology uses the word "complexity" which is another religious code word for "If I can't understand something that's complex, then the magic man did it."
She calls evolution "various theories". She talks about weaknesses in evolution but forgets to tell us what those weaknesses are. She gives zero examples. She just writes about gaps. Perhaps she figures all points for future understanding are weaknesses, also known as a hiding places for the dead Jeebus.
Read this airhead then try to tell me evolution has weaknesses: "There is probably no other notion in any field of science that has been as extensively tested and as thoroughly corroborated as the evolutionary origin of living organisms." -- Encyclopedia Britannica
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a physicist, I have no sympathy for efforts to inject the teaching of "creation science" into high-school science curricula. On the other hand, I applaud legislation that would allow teachers to question the scientific strengths and weaknesses of accepted scientific theories—even evolution. Even better would be encouraging students to do the same. After all, science evolves from questioning and criticizing accepted wisdom. Robert A. Myers New York
Notice that this science denying scientist is a physicist and not a biologist. The Wall Street Journal probably received a hundred or more letters from pro-science scientists but it decided to publish only this letter from a dishonest asshole who obviously knows nothing about biology.
His letter looks like it could have been written by one of the Christian scum who work for the Magical Creationism Discovery Institute. They use fake scientists to sell their supernatural magic which they call "weaknesses of evolution".
One more time so retards can understand: Evolution doesn't have any fucking weaknesses.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet again, conservative Christian legislators find a way to involve themselves in issues they are unfit to address.
Thanks to legislators like Tennessee state Rep. Bill Dunn, who sees global warming and evolution as "controversial," thousands of students will be ill-equipped with the scientific knowledge necessary to pursue degrees in biology and chemistry without a grounding in evolutionary theory. Last time I checked, students learned about science in school and religion in church. Let's keep it that way. Roy Speckhardt Executive Director American Humanist Association Washington
"Controversial" is another Christian code word that means "The Magic Man Did It." There is no controversy in the scientific community about the basic facts of evolution. For example the idea that the dead Jeebus was an ape (Christian tards worship a dead ape) is a basic fact. There's no controversy about the basic fact that modern humans are one of the Great Ape species. We share an ancestor with the other Great Apes including chimps, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans. This is the strongest fact of science. It's been proven repeatedly, thousands of times. Only cowardly uneducated morons, also known as bible thumpers and terrorists, deny this fact.
Even without this anti-science religious bill students in Tennessee are already learning nothing about evolution thanks to Christian intimidation of competent biology teachers and thanks to science denying science teachers who need to be fired.
Religious attacks against America's science education is treason. America's Christian assholes are equal to terrorists and they deserve the same treatment we give to terrorists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
One more thing:
The last letter to the editor was pro-science but I have a problem with this: "Last time I checked, students learned about science in school and religion in church. Let's keep it that way."
Let's not keep it that way. I mean the part about brainwashing students in churches. There is no excuse for destroying the minds of innocent children. The Christian death cult must be completely eradicated.
