Kansas ID Fallout

The teaching of religion as science has the potential of keeping qualified people (students and faculty) away from Kansas colleges and universities. The ripple-effect can be enormous.

You're now the laughingstock of the US. Sorry, the world.

I'm fine with that. Then when they realize that their kids can't get into a real university or college, they will change their mind.

"Oh, you're from Kanasa? Hmmm, you will need to take 4 years of high school science before you can be accepted, thank you".

by taking several steps backward, they create an environment that will neither encourage people to attend college there, nor encourage people outside Kansas to hire some with a degree from KU, K-State or Washburn, for example.

Since so many confused Kansas City, KS with Kansas City MO (assuming that all of KC resides in Kansas), I would think there should be some concern on the MO side of the border, as well...


In their vernacular, "they know not what they have done...""

so they probably won't mind at all.

Show a usual dopey shot of Bush* and entitle: "Intelligent Design??????"

or alternately "Intelligent Design or bumbling idiot?"

"Intelligent Design: Mosquitoes" ?

Although, to be prefectly frank, the voters probably would have approved of something similar.

Last year they approved a disgusting, bigoted marriage amendment that not only clearly defined marriage as one man, one woman but also struck down any possibility of civil unions, even.

Disgusted me.

The conservative school board members who favored the reading of the ID statement in science class were VOTED OUT yesterday in favor of Democrats! Woooo hoooo!

Kansas ... get it together, man.

Then when everyone thought it was safe, and nobody was looking, they ran some more stealth candidates.

Hopefully, you Kansans will correct that mistake again.

Let's make it simple...

There is now a state in America where belief = science.

Here is the reality. Belief and knowledge are complimentary words, a belief can be based on the evidence of choice, knowledge cannot. You can believe that you know something, and know that you believe something. No where I have seen that you can take a belief idea and turn it into a fact idea? Unless someone would like to enlighten me? Evolving a belief into knowledge takes something that doesn't exist a pattern of complimentary evidence. Not just the evidence that proves but also the evidence that dissproves.

Now for the reality police, I love the reality police...

How can the flu change every year without evolving? You can't have your cake and eat it to; and you can not dissmiss knowledge that disproves your beliefs just because it doesn't fit the pattern you frame. Since the flu vacine has to be modified every year to map it ability to change into a bug that is completely different.

If you want to understand how it is sold to the american people just think of the 3-D republican political pattern.

Deny -- We don't torture in America
Discredit -- It's Bill Clinton and the democrats fault
Distract -- Election 2005

Since the effort to prove a belief has started with this pattern in all likely hood it's based on a load of horseshit, but that is my belief and you can put that in your pipe!

Every single student and faculty will be given extra scutiny at any mid to top flight university or college. A good working knowledge of evolution is one of the basics of any science curriculum, and if these people don't have it, they're not going to get excepted.

Sadly though, these people will be regulated to bible colleges and places like Bob Jones U.

The first time this came up, it was funny, but now it is really starting to get serious. If I lived in Kansas with children in school, I would move my family to someplace more enlightened in order that my children receive an education that will prepare them for college, not exclude them from it.

:crazy:

"Kansas? Sorry, guy. I'll speak really slowly for you"

games...isn't anyone playing with that similar to ID. Are the SIMS people wondering who created them and are directing their lives? I mean intelligence ( as in a creator) is in the eye of the beholder. How do we not know we are not one big high school science project in some alternate universe? A bunch of kids (probably nothing like us) playing around creating us, directing our lives, deciding what our futures will be. Who says intelligent design has to be a divine being? It could be some alien (to us)creature outside our universe and we are just its amusement. ID is such a loony concept you can only come up with loony scenarios.

:crazy:

but the locals frustrated with the government reworked it and made one that looks just like that and says

"Kansas, as bigoted as you think'

Hey! We have a female Democratic Governor.

What does California have, or New York?


Current Bush approval: 43% to disapprove 54%


Can we get some love here?

stepford wives all around me...

since we had neighborhood swimming pools/clubs..i wore a bikini ...and a petition was sent around my neighborhood to ban bikini's at the poll club..yes we paid to belong to the pool club...

one neighbor i caught with a sweet young thing..the night his wife gave birth to their 3rd child...ohh yes they tried to hide from me ..but i would go right up to their table..and ask how their "darling" wife was!!
