AUSTIN – The second most powerful member of the Texas House has circulated a Georgia lawmaker's call for a broad assault on teaching of evolution.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, used House operations Tuesday to deliver a memo from Georgia state Rep. Ben Bridges.

The memo assails what it calls "the evolution monopoly in the schools."

Mr. Bridges' memo claims that teaching evolution amounts to indoctrinating students in an ancient Jewish sect's beliefs.

"Indisputable evidence – long hidden but now available to everyone – demonstrates conclusively that so-called 'secular evolution science' is the Big Bang, 15-billion-year, alternate 'creation scenario' of the Pharisee Religion," writes Mr. Bridges, a Republican from Cleveland, Ga. He has argued against teaching of evolution in Georgia schools for several years.

He then refers to a Web site, www.fixedearth.com, that contains a model bill for state Legislatures to pass to attack instruction on evolution as an unconstitutional establishment of religion.

Mr. Bridges also supplies a link to a document that describes scientists Carl Sagan and Albert Einstein as "Kabbalists" and laments "Hollywood's unrelenting role in flooding the movie theaters with explicit or implicit endorsement of evolutionism."

Mr. Chisum said he knows Mr. Bridges from their joint service on a committee of the National Conference of State Legislatures.

"That is a courtesy to a member of the Georgia legislature, is all that is," said Mr. Chisum, a social conservative who opposes abortion rights and wants the state to prefer heterosexuals over gays and lesbians in recruiting foster parents. He authored the 2005 constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Mr. Chisum was asked if Mr. Bridges' memo reflects his own views.

"No, absolutely, although I'm a Christian, and I believe in creation," he said. Creation science is the idea that the Earth was created in six days some 6,000 years ago.

"You ought to teach creation as well as the fact of evolution," Mr. Chisum said, though he said "all of those kinds of sciences have holes in them. ... But I'm not about teaching religion in schools."

Investigate the referenced website at your peril. Seriously. It hurts my brain.

The web site is guilty of the following in my view.

Gross disregard of sciencifitic method and investigation.

Failure of logic. Kabbalism is a Jewish mystic sect. Jews wrote just about all of the Bible. It is not logical for the people who wrote the bloody book to want to suppress or destory it. Especially since the parts that the writter refers to are also part of the Jewish Holy Book!

Gross disregard for the rules of Bibical Scholarship. Pslams is a book of peoms believed to have been written by King David. They are not intended to be considered Divine Realations on the sturcture and scope of the universe. The qoutes from the Book of Job are from a single mortal man who has no direct contact with God at that point. Also cannot be regarded as a Divine statement of the shape of the universe.

Have I mentioned in the last fifteen minutes how much I hate this state? Have I? Why is it that when I see these things I automatically think, "Oh crap, some idiot in Georgia opened his mouth again," and I'm right? This is even worse than normal, since they're now going into conspiracy theory land along with everything else.
