SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - The Texas Board of Education voted unanimously
to approve mainstream middle school curriculum materials on Friday in
a move seen as a victory for proponents of teaching evolution in
public schools.

Conservatives had complained the materials up for approval did not
adequately address "alternatives to evolution" such as creationism or
intelligent design as a theory of how life began.

The board also voted to reject any inclusion of materials submitted by
a New Mexico company, International Databases, which claimed Darwin's
Theory of Evolution was not proven and that life on earth was the
result of 'intelligent causes.'

"These two votes represent a definitive victory for science and the
students of Texas, and a complete defeat of the far-right's two-year
campaign to dumb down instruction on evolution in Texas schools," said
Ryan Valentine, deputy director of the Texas Freedom Network, a
liberal group that counters attempts by evangelical conservatives to
affect public policy.

In 2009 in a move that grabbed headlines across the country, a more
conservative Texas State Board of Education approved standards
encouraging debate over the veracity of evolution science.

The board had not voted on science educational materials since the
2009 decision. Supplemental materials were being considered on Friday
rather than entirely new textbooks due to budget cuts approved this
year by the Texas legislature.

The Texas board, which includes evangelical Christians, had been seen
as the best opportunity for supporters of Biblical-based theories of
creation to get their point of view represented in public school
curriculum.

David Bradley, a leader of the board's conservatives, was not pleased
with the decision to allow Education Commissioner Robert Scott, whose
proposals included the teaching only mainstream science, to decide how
to resolve several "errors" in educational materials identified by
evolution opponents.

"So we're going to kick the can down the road, and we're just going to
delegate that responsibility and give it to the commissioner," he
said.

The vote followed several hours of emotional testimony on Thursday in
which science teachers from around the state pleaded with the board
not to require them to teach what they saw as non-scientific theories
in their classrooms.

Intelligent design and creationism are theories that life on earth was
created essentially the way it is described in the Bible's Book of
Genesis - not by evolution, but by a 'creative intelligence' generally
considered to be the Christian God.

Maybe the evangelicals will blow up a youth camp.

Yeah, heck yeah. That's a great idea. I think I'll get my recipe book
out and start brewing up *some homeade C-4 now. Thanks thats a great
idea...

Go ahead, make a joke of it. *Conservative Christians are the most
willing to resort to violence in the name of their God-endoresed
cause.

Reprehensible.

And of course to your eyes, they do. Because that's all you want to
see.

Nevermind that the "religious" cause most of the havoc in the world.
Though worn out and nothing profound about it, that's a very true
statement, because after all, most of the world populace is
'religious' in one form or another.
Christians have caused more problems for humanity than the plague,
smallpox and every disease known to man. They are sick.
"They are sick.?" Christians have done more to eliminate the plague,
smallpox and every disease known to man. Done more to expand mans
scientific mind too.
Tim.. it's a spoofer.

You're right though.. Christians have done a lot of good and a lot of
bad. Some of the best scientific minds in the last 1000 years have
been Christians, even devote ones. There have also been some terrible
things, such as the Crusades that went on for several hundred years on
and off. They used to hack up their enemies with sharpened crosses,
among other things. Another example of some very anti-science, low
morality stuff comes from the Catholic Church.

Is it at all possible you meant devout? Even then it wouldn't make much
sense.

Nothing about fundamentalists in that statement. Before you say

These two dirtbags finally got to you Tim. They must be so proud of
themselves. Don't lower yourself to mess with them. You can leave the
dirty work to us so called "conservatrashers". We have Krause and
company well under control. Keep on being a good guy Tim. :-)

Nah, I'm humored about the stereo typing of the agno/athiests
eventually blaming all the worlds troubles on the religious.
Especially when they have no foundation for it.

Kinda like for what ever reason if you didn't vote for Obama you're a

Oh, yes, I do tend to lump all of those that don't believe exactly as I
do into one narrow minded place!

What I choose to see though, is the only thing that matters. I've been
trying to tell you all this for years. If you don't believe, act, have
exactly as I do, you are right wing trash mooks.

I do love the way Tim isn't offend by my Anti-Christian statements as
long I don't make them in direct response to one of Tim's posts. I have
stated many times that religion, especially Conservative Christians are
crap.

While the liberals blow up the economy and economic freedom.

Man, USA is a mess. A severe leadership problem on both sides.

You are a mess, and the USA is still the best place for investment.
