The ESV Bible blog offers a glimpse into which chapters and verses get viewed most often through their website. Spoiler: John 3:16 ain’t #1.

It seems that questioning Darwinism is unconstitutional. As a good citizen, I am ready to advocate the strongest possible curriculum to instruct our young people in the vital teachings of Darwin and his disciples.

To ensure that all students in the public schools understand these essential (and Constitutionally protected) truths, I propose the following final exam be administered as a requirement for graduation:

FINAL EXAM

The judge in the Dover, PA intelligent design case has issued his verdict in favor of the Darwinists.

The interesting point drawn out in the article linked below is this:

…several members of the Dover Area School Board repeatedly lied during the trial to cover their motives for promoting intelligent design even as they professed religious beliefs…

This should serve as a cautionary tale to those who would be effective in the battle for truth. It is truth, not belief, that matters.

Furthermore:

…the school board’s policy on intelligent design violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

…but here is what the trial was about:

The case stemmed from the school board’s decision last year to require 9th grade biology teachers to read four paragraphs to students regarding intelligent design at the start of lessons on evolution.

“Because Darwin’s theory is a theory, it continues to be tested as new evidence is discovered,” the statement said. “The theory is not a fact. Gaps in the theory exist for which there is no evidence.”

The required statement went on to say, “Intelligent design is an explanation of the origin of life that differs from Darwin’s view.”

Exactly what religion was being established here? Or is it that the state religion of Darwinism was being challenged?

Judge Rules Against Pa. ‘Intelligent Design’ Policy

On December 5, 1664, a ship sank in the Menai Strait off the coast of Wales. Of its 81 passengers, the sole survivor was a lucky fellow named Hugh Williams.

On December 5, 1785, 121 years later, another ship sank in the Menai Strait. All aboard perished… except one. His name was Hugh Williams.

On December 5, 1860, 75 years later, yet another ship, a small 25-passenger vessel, sank in the Menai Strait. Once again, there was only one survivor. And once again, his name was Hugh Williams.

So if you’re ever going sailing in Wales on December 5, I won’t be offended if you forget to invite me.
