Looks like Kentucky ain't gonna produce lots of scientists

The following is an excerpt from an actual science textbook that thousands of high school kids in private schools are using, including Lexington Christian Academy here in town. I swear that I am not making any of this up. To God. Seriously though.

The following is an excerpt from the books preface:

Life is God's most marvelous and complex creation. Biology: God's Living Creation presents life as God created it and now controls it. Historically, biology was the first major area of assault in the American classroom as evolution permeated the schools in the 1920's. Even today, evolutionism poisons biology textbooks and distracts from God's glory in creation. High school students need to understand God's living creation from a Biblical perspective, as God created it, and as man has learned of it.

...

Evolution is presented for what it is---a retreat from science. Students and teachers alike will feel more comfortable when they realize that it not biology that is in conflict with Scripture, but rather the ungodly philosophy of some biologists.

Since the day Darwin invaded the classrooms, God's glory has been hidden from students. Now there is an opportunity in the Christian classroom to declare that glory with Biology: God's Living Creation.

Yes, thats just the tip of the iceburg of fucked up crazy shit in this thing. I'll put more up later, including the chapter on things that "creepeth".

I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem. I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer". I am a *Citizen* of the United States. [link\|mailto:golf_lover44@yahoo.com\|contact me]

That's actually somewhat tame compared to some of the homeschool texts I've seen. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
