This is deeply disturbing commentary on the astonishingly low and plummeting IQ of our culture, and, on politics in general....we are actually ARGUING over evolution still? Like its a theory? Why dont we argue about whether we have a Sun? Or whether water is wet? Incredible. A little girl wrote an innocent letter trying to get the State of S.Carolina to adopt a fossil of a mammoth as one of the State symbols - and look what these morons did: The bill that Olivia inspired has become the subject of considerable angst at the legislature in the state capital of Columbia. First, an objecting state senator attached three verses from Genesis to the act, outlining God’s creation of all living creatures. Then, after other lawmakers spiked the amendment as out of order for its introduction of the divinity, he took another crack, specifying that the Columbian mammoth “was created on the sixth day with the other beasts of the field.” That version passed in the senate in early April. But now the bill is back in committee as the lower house squabbles over the new language, and it’s seemingly destined for the same fate as its honouree—extinction. What has doomed Olivia’s dream is a raging battle in South Carolina over the teaching of evolution in schools. Last week, the state’s education oversight committee approved a new set of science standards that, if adopted, would see students learn both the case for, and against, natural selection..... Unreal.
