This science has not helped increase our knowledge base. In fact, not teaching a moral lawgiver and focusing on the science has only led many people in Louisiana to poverty as they have had to deny their Christian upbringing. These scientist should apoligize to us for leading three and one half generations astray. <BR/><BR/>I have studied genetics and genetic coding and there is no way that this happend by chance. watch this video and tell me that this can happen a billion times a day in your body and that it all happend by accident. <BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=983lhh20rGY&feature=related<BR/><BR/><BR/>Current scientist are watching this video and they say that we can from aliens. This will be what the next generation learns in our schools, because the evidence of a code maker in our DNA is undeniable. So at this rate the next generation will learn from these scientist that aliens left a code behind and that they will return some day. Now is the time to take a side and I commend the law makers for stepping out in faith and angering the right people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-32507200144559718592009-02-18T11:40:00.000-06:002009-02-18T11:40:00.000-06:00No more comments from Marshall Dillon and Festus?No more comments from Marshall Dillon and Festus?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-57655359210933332482009-02-18T09:45:00.000-06:002009-02-18T09:45:00.000-06:00Creationism has nothing to do as to why LA ranks l...Creationism has nothing to do as to why LA ranks last.

It is so bad that even Oklahoma and Utah nixed it.<BR/>People forget that we went through this in the early 80's, only the State Education Department and the BESE Board refused to implement it. <BR/>As for the earlier remark about the Democratic agenda, a Democrat introduced this bill and Democrats voted for it before the Republican governor signed it. It has nothing to do with party, it is just pandering of the worst sort.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927133938857523885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-6968453030548349552009-02-16T17:46:00.000-06:002009-02-16T17:46:00.000-06:00Looks like some folks got themselves in a tizzy ov...Looks like some folks got themselves in a tizzy over personality, to the detriment of the issue at hand. Prof. Myers is not the issue; and Jim should not have to vet any person quoted in a news story to see if he/she is PC. It is enough, Jim, that the person you quoted made a public statement, and you told us what it was. Don't let the people whose emotional reactions to seeing a quote from someone they do not like deter you.<BR/>I have never heard of Prof. Meyer, and still really don't care who he is. If he and his coalition don't want to bring their convention to Louisiana because of some law, that is their right. We cannot be beholden to blackmail from interest groups. Nonetheless, there's nothing wrong with quoting a person who makes a public statement, in order to explore the substance of the story.<BR/>By the way, I would wager the posters who dogged you for this are basically good people. They seem a bit intellectually immature, though. Guys, grow up. People who disagree with you are out there -- and they don't all have horns and tail.

I like Jindal, but wary of any politician who spouts they are "conservative" and is too far to the right or left.<BR/><BR/>I don't have the answers on how to solve education, but it probably needs to start over from scratch. It's gonna hurt, but how else can Louisiana undo some of the poor policies over the years. <BR/><BR/>Healthcare has to be done the same way. Putting band-aids over the current problems will not solve the poor health care outcomes in this state.
