Texas School: Loch Ness Monster Proves Evolution Is False

Read Time:1 Minute, 59 Second

Would you want to live in Texas?  It’s the biggest state in the union but it’s also the most bigoted. It’s awash in religious claptrap and insane politicians like Texas Ted Cruz  and friends.  For years they’ve been working hard to dismiss science, in particular evolution, in order to replace it with more Bible Banging myths.

A charter school in Houston that accepts taxpayer funding is using anti-science textbooks in its classrooms. According to a parent of one of its former students, iSchool High is using textbooks that explicitly link evolutionary theory with genocide:

[Hitler] has written that the Aryan (German) race would be the leader in all human progress. To accomplish that goal, all “lower races” should either be enslaved or eliminated. Apparently the theory of evolution and its “survival of the fittest” philosophy had taken root in Hitler’s warped mind.

iSchool, which according to Alan Wimberley, a “chief learning officer” with its parent company Responsive Education Solutions, or ResponsiveEd, is designed “to get kids college — and career-ready.”

However, ResponsiveEd was founded by Donald R. Howard, former owner of Accelerated Christian Education (ACE), which made headlines last year when one of its textbooks claimed that evolutionary theory can’t be accurate because the Loch Ness Monster is real:

Have you heard of the ‘Loch Ness Monster’ in Scotland? ‘Nessie,’ for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur.

Could a fish have developed into a dinosaur? As astonishing as it may seem, many evolutionists theorize that fish evolved into amphibians and amphibians into reptiles. This gradual change from fish to reptiles has no scientific basis. No transitional fossils have been or ever will be discovered because God created each type of fish, amphibian, and reptile as separate, unique animals. Any similarities that exist among them are due to the fact that one Master Craftsmen fashioned them all.

Instead of acquiring “career-ready” levels of scientific information, students at iSchool are receiving an education even educators at the fundamentalist Bob Jones University believe is inadequate. As historian Adam Laats wrote, “[a]ccording to BJU writers, the ACE and A Beka curricula failed to adequately educate their students academically or spiritually by neglecting … higher-order thinking skills.”

Just like some morons I have talked to in the past that say how can evolution be real if there are still monkeys around.

What they are really doing is exposing their own ignorance about evolution. Sadly, they are so determinedly ignorant they don’t know it and wouldn’t accept the truth if it were brunching on their butts.

Each time I think the babble boys have reached the ultimate in profound ignorance and absurdity, they demonstrate how wrong I can be.

This makes me think of the late Jim Backus and his most famous lime, “Awww Magoo, you’ve done it again!”
