Texas soon to follow?


An entire nation has expunged evolution from its school curricula:  Romania.

Maybe it’s a preview.  Which state in the U.S. wants to be like Romania?

    No, that’s not accurate, and that’s nothing like what that research piece shows. Pigs are not more closely related to humans than monkeys (and if the same study had been done with monkeys, it’s a fair bet there would have been more areas of gene conservation discovered). Pigs are more useful than chimpanzees (humans are apes, not monkeys, though we’re more closely related to monkeys than pigs), because pigs mature faster, breed faster, and there is less chance of virus cross overs, for most medical procedures. Had there been ape or monkey arteries available, they probably would have been tested, though the virus issue remains a stopper.

    DNA evidence is very difficult to tamper with, if it’s clean.

    Here’s a discussion on organ transplantation and transgenic pigs which could provide some enlightenment:

    Yes I agree but the scientific DNA shows that humans are more closely related to “pigs over 25 more than monkeys mere moments away from being oinks ourselves (http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Aktion=ShowFulltext&ArtikelNr=75743&Ausgabe=229862&ProduktNr=224037) which is one reason they have experimented with pig arteries rather than ape organs as transplant alternatives — plus the whole ancient kosher dont eat pigs thing, there are so many legends of people being turned easily into pigs on all continents and that is just so bizzare to me. I always found it fascinating in biology when the teachers would show the study that the human fetus goes through so many stages, a reptillian, fish like, then a mammal. Since DNA evidence can be tampered with I just dont know. I went to early grades in Texas – it was pleasant and I think all the states are struggling with the new technology and the increasing pressure to have to “choose” what to teach the children.

    There is the DNA evidence, however. I don’t think it can be blithely cast aside.

    As a science the origin of species has much speculation and some very noticable gaps/missing links. I myself am not a believer in the science – I need more facts. Now this is just concerning humans. I believe you can follow the evolutionary developmant of some animal species and plants and even the planets ever changing development. Researchers are showing how similiar we are to pigs and bears and the science is still very new as opposed to the beliefs passed on to generations of a Creation story. No science on that one either. But for me …the most important thing is that science is wonderful and helpful (mostly) but every sorcerer knows that the more you catagorize something and try to make it fit a formula, the more you lose spontaneity in the magic. I also believe that Alien’s planting the earth is a possibilty and I am not alone. Either way…All different paths from the same starting point.
