Well, I spent the morning with a wonderful group of Middle and High School teacher committed to doing an excellent job of teaching evolution in their classrooms. Then, I go check my email and I’ve got a similar number of people sending me this story about a person who could be the next mayor of Tulsa Oklahoma, apparently.<\/p>\n
Republican mayoral candidate Anna Falling said Tuesday that putting a Christian creationism display in the Tulsa Zoo is No. 1 in importance among city issues that also include violent crime, budget woes and bumpy streets.<\/p>\n
“It’s first,” she
\nsaid to calls of “hallelujah” at a rally outside the zoo. “If we can’t come to the foundation of faith in this community, those other answers will never come. We need to first of all recognize the fact that God needs to be honored in this city.”<\/p>\nFalling, who has founded several Christian nonprofit groups and is a former city councilor, also said the next mayor needs to appoint people to boards, authorities and commissions who will “honor God.”<\/p>\n
When asked whether she meant that she would recruit Christians to serve the city, Falling said she was talking about “people committed to their churches.” When asked whether she meant Christian churches, she said, “churches, yes.”\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nI like that last bit. It’s like she says to herself, “Oh … right … of course, I mean Christian but I can’t say that out loud, can I?”<\/p>\nThis suggestion … the one about the creationism exhibit at the Tulsa Zoo, has been around for years. Personally, I think they should do it. In fact, I want to design it. Yes, yes, let me design it!!!! Please!! Please!! That would be so much fun…<\/p>\n
