Evolution has been largely discredited as the explanation for life on earth. Punctuated Equilibrium is a joke no evidence of it. There are many scientists of the highest level who subscribe to Intelligent Design now having forsaken belief in Evolution. Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man, irreducible complexity, statistical probabilities,primordial ooze 100% toxic to all life. How did the first cell begin? No scientist has ever been able to create even the simplest life form in complex experiments. Protein building blocks is a far cry from an actual living cell. What about the lack of any true intermediate forms? Hekels fraudulent research, convicted by Univ. of Berlin 1873, his response to them very telling. God Haters, Allergic to God who is self aware and Rules, Micro evolution certainly, Macro Evolution, Punctuated Equilibrium. No proof of this. Darwin plagarized his grand father’s book Zoonomia. Review Doubts About Darwin, etc. The issue is teaching all theories not just Evolution which has been largely discredited but the academics refuse to accept strong evidences. Adolph Hitler was a big believer in Darwinian Evolution, think about the dynamics of that. For men shall be lovers of self, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. And Every Man did that that was right in their own eyes (making themselves as Gods).

Never mind knowing the difference between theory, theorem, (scientific) law, ‘fact’…Second the request for YouTube posting.

They cannot continue if they can’t get enough children and still impressionable youngsters indoctrinated and doubtful about science. Lying and historical revision is part of the MO.

When I was at Orange Park Middle School in Clay County, we had an extremely strong science program there, often sending 25 students to the state science fair (in 1984, I was among them) and usually having most of us win something.Of course, that was also back in the day when the military (including a LOT of officers) was 65% of the population, supporting Cecil Field, NAS Jax, Green Cove Springs (closed since ’83), and Mayport with the USS Saratoga.Today, post consolidation, the military is now only about 35% of the region, things are obviously different.*sigh*

The board passed a resolution, proposed by Superintendent David Owens, asking the Florida Department of Education to reword its newly proposed state standards

I don’t see how this would lead to a lawsuit. They are not mandating instruction in Creationism in their district, they are merely trying to influence the state board.
