News just in, the people of Kansas are officially stuffed.

“It gets rid of a lot of dogma that’s being taught in the classroom today,” said board member John Bacon, an Olathe Republican.

These people really have no sense of humour, do they?

I’d like to bring something my friend Ian has to say on the matter:

Personally I don’t see the the problem creationists have with evolution, the
whole seven day thing does not necessarily mean 24 of our earth hours, since God resides in Heaven, and I do not believe the bible specifies whether or not Heaven is subject to solar orbit.

If God chose to make ‘Man’ by making a small tube worm and a physical environment that will cause that worm to evolve over millions of solar cycles (6 days in Heaven) into an awkard bipedal organism with a tendency towards violent and irrational behaviour, then God created man. It’s a bit like ‘creating’ a cake; you put some stuff (eggs, flour) together and pop it in a specially created physical environment (a nice hot oven). Without the cooking bit, you haven’t created a cake, similarly without the evolvotion bit God wouldn’t have made man.

(Not, you understand, that I agree with the above paragraphs, but they are an interesting thought)
