Evolution in Texas


From image maker Colin Purington: Texans fondness for Biblical literalism indirectly ruins science education for the rest of the country. Texas is the nations biggest consumer of textbooks, so authors will often write their books for the Texas State Board of Education, which usually has at least one delusional freakazoid who believes that fossils are the result of the Great Flood. On the State School Board!! I kid you not. Really amazing, and sad.

On the State School Board!! I kid you not. Really amazing, and sad.

Another brilliant creation of Colin Purrington’s Evolution Outreach project.

    Ignorance is no excuse for following unproven “truths”. Man is still living in darkness due to beliefs that are scientifically found ridiculous in present, but blindly supported as truths because “drill and practice” for 2000 years made them so….
