I hear a great sucking sound. Is this how one gets a raise at the TFP? Ask James Mapp or any other African-American minority what they think about Anderson.
Mr. Waddle;
The Bible is a canon written, edited, translated, and copied by many men over a period of many years based on hearsay (the "Oral Tradition"). The Genesis myths are parables written to illustrate God's wrath against Unbelievers (They die!). By the way, when Noah's ark landed on Mt. Ararat in Turkey, how did all the kangaroos end up in Australia.
You say "Darwinian" Evolution has problems. What are they? The Creation Museum is a religious fairyland mocked by most rational adults.
An unfortunate consequence of this illogical and unnecessary bill is that HS Biology teachers may be intimidated to not give Evolution Science the full attention it deserves, particularity in the rural counties. Hopefully, it will be challenged in court and invalided so that we Tennesseans will no longer be the laughing stock of the scientific community.

Curtis/Livn4life: The usual Creationists "alchemy", i.e., trying to turn science into faith and faith into science. I have "faith" that a proton consists of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark and that our species (H. Sapiens) arose about 200,000 yrs. ago from H. Erectus. Evolution is about the origin of species, not the origin of life.
The TFP congratulates itself on having a database containing the salaries of all TN public workers. I wish they would create a DB containing the names of the textbooks used in the Hamilton Co. schools. It should be available from the school board. Specifically, I want to know the names of the biology textbooks used in teaching General Biology and AP Biology at Hixson HS. If anyone knows, please post it.
By the way TVA pays a E.E. with 10 yrs. experience $95,000/yr. I wonder what EPB pays its E.E.'s?
Creationists keep trying to stick the nose of their pseudoscience camel into the tent of real science. Even if Haslam signs Watson's ill-conceived and unnecessary bill, presenting the Genesis myths in a HS science class is still illegal. Unfortunately, it may intimidate HS Biology teachers to minimize or omit the teaching Evolution Science. By the way, the Genesis myths are simply parables written to show God's wrath against Unbelievers.
Evolution is as fundamental to Biology as Newton's and Maxwell's laws are to classical physics, the Standard Model to Quantum Mechanics, the periodic table to Chemistry, the Copernican View of the Universe to Astronomy, and the Associative, Communicative laws to Mathematics. Simply stated, Evolution is a change in the average characteristics of a population over time.
All plant and animal life forms are composed of Eukaryotic cells having a nucleus with DNA. In every instant of time gazillions of Eukaryotes are created, live, and die without divine intervention. Our bodies contain about 10 trillion eukaryotes that are replaced about every 7 years.
According to his bio, Watson majored in Biology at UTC. Here is a opportunity for him to become an advocate of Evolution Science ("The road less traveled"). Instead, with this bill, he panders to the Creationist Crowd (more voters?). The word "hypocrite" comes to mind.
David Cook: The meaning of Weston Wamp
Maybe Cook can interview Scottie M. and together they can watch ice cream melt.

Austin, don't forget to include your socialist billionaire, George Soros.

Being a Harry Austin clone means Cook can continue with his hack writing.

In the projects the moms go to work and the grandparents stay-at-home and care for the children.
