From Dionsaurs To Monkeys, We've Got It All.

Well, there ya have it. The folks in Tennessee have had their say. And they say that Adam and Eve were the proud owners of a herd of dairy dinosaurs. Now let me tell ya, herding dairy dinosaurs is no easy task. Ya gotta get up pretty early in the morning so as to catch them dinos while they're still half asleep, elsewise they git a bit ornery. And while you're at it you have to keep your hands warm, otherwise they're likely to kick ya or take a bite out of ya. What Tennessee has gone and done is to pass a Monkey Law. That is to say, they have made it possible and legal for science teachers throughout the state to teach creationism along with evolution. And while they're at it, they don't have to mention global warming. Now it so happens that Tennessee ranked next to last on SAT tests of all the states. My guess is that they won't be satisfied until they get that record. Dead last is the goal. They named it after the Scopes Monkey Trial from back in the 1920s when they proved in court that man did not come from monkeys. And that teacher, Scopes, got his what fer. Now I don't mean to suggest that all Tennesseans think like this. Many don't. But they've mostly moved out. America has fallen behind many industrialized nations in education. Try as I might, I can't see how this will help us catch up. When these young minds absorb this misinformation and then attend college with the hopes of becoming a scientist, they're in for a rude awakening. Because unless Tennessee somehow drifts off into the South Pacific or the middle of the Sargosy Sea, they're gonna have a tough time interacting with the rest of the world. They could form an alliance with the folks from Atlantis though. I think they may have some ideology in common. Now please don't misunderstand me. If you want to believe that God created the world in six days, that's okay. That's religion. And having belief in your religion is a good thing. But let's not confuse religious beliefs with science. They're two different subjects. I just don't happen to believe dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time. There's no record of it happening in religious writings or archaeological research. So unless you find the milk pail next to a dinosaur and a mans cold hand in that dinosaurs belly, forget it.
