Fossils and Jesus

Young, bright South Carolina girl tries to get the state to adopt the Wholly Mammoth fossil as the official state fossil. But, the creationist won't stand for it without mentioning that God,of course, had a hand in it.

"Sometimes, you begin reading about something and think, “Aww, how cute!” Other times, what should be a touching story of a child’s proposal to make the Woolly Mammoth South Carolina’s official state fossil passing the state House and Senate with overwhelming support, going to the Governor’s desk, and being signed into law becomes something entirely different because of a couple of Christofascists in suits who feel the need to inject God into everything."

I cannot imagine how one Rep and one Senator are able, single-handedly, to stop a bill that was passed overwhelmingly in both the state House and Senate.

Gotta love Senator Fair.....

(Senator Mike) Fair, who has compared the President to Osama Bin Laden, helped to block funding for a rape crisis center, called climate change a hoax, and blocked evolution from the state’s science standards, saying “I don’t have a problem with teaching theories. I don’t think it should be taught as fact,” stood up for Biblical representation in the state fossil–after all, what’s science without Jesus?
