Once again, my home state embarrasses itself even further. I’m just not surprised at this point anymore. When I was growing up in TX ‘science’ education was horrible; I couldn’t imagine how it could get any worse. Until now. Ugh.

Scientist or not, if you want science to be taught in the schools, you need to pay attention to this obscure bit of politics.

If you live in or near Austin, TX, there is an active group working to replace the creationist representing district 10, and spreading the word in other parts of the state.

They can be contacted via:
educationfirstsboe10@gmail.com

Go to the meetings, get politically active. Change the way things are done.

I did take a moment to check out all the random youtube vids you dropped into your extremely weird “press release”, and I have to say I’m impressed by how little they relate to the rest of your rant.

I’d rate you at about 0.87 Timecubes, and rising.

Either you have a wonderfully warped sense of humour, or you are a complete idiot. . .

I am still very scientifically trying to figure out which of these two things you are. 🙂

I am not a Texan and not *officially* a scientist although some of what I do can be properly described as science.

I only briefly looked over it, but I’ve heard it all before and its all bull. Anyone can make vague enough predictions and say they will happen “sometime” in the future, and then 400 years later be either proven right or made to look right by those who want to believe. It’s all crap, and has been thoroughly debunked. QED you win nothing.

Unless I missed the entire point of that link, and there was, in fact, some extraordinarily powerful evidence for whatever your fantastic claim may have been. In which case, maybe you should more clearly, concisely, and intelligently state it, and then move on to the proof, in your next attempt at posting. I won’t hold my breath, and neither will the JREF.

Get help. Your meds have worn off. Again.
