We already knew that a little while ago, but it’s still nice to read it again.
TALLAHASSEE — Legislation that would open the door to school prayer and discourage teaching evolution have been declared dead. Prospects don’t look good for a proposal to require ultrasounds for first-trimester abortions. Same goes for a bill to make marriage licenses more expensive for couples who don’t take a premarriage education course.
Love it. Well done, Florida! 😎
Still no signs of the Alabama and Missouri bills advancing out of committee, and in Texas, they’re holding a hearing next Tuesday on a bill (with bipartisan sponsorship) that would curtail the power of the Texas board of education! Good news after the Texas SBOE shenanigans.
Right. Nothing happening in Alabama and Missouri. Texas is the only state with pending litigation that might be interesting, but that state has already been too interesting.
Now that I’ve learned when the legislative sessions end (thanks to James), here’s the situation: Texas (session adjourns June 1), Alabama (session adjourns 18 May), Florida (session adjourns 01 May), and Missouri (session adjourns 30 May).
i have yet to read a cogent and well thought out science backed with fossils as proof an explanation for the total–that is as in 100 % absence of an intermediary fossil between reptiles and birds where the fossil bears absolute signs of both critters as the reptile still show signs of it as both reptile and bird. sadly alol i have ever seen is a.)fossils of whole reptiles and b.) fossilsof birds c. please spare me the pure garbage about pterodactyls. there isn’t enough science to show the ugly beasts. has anyone seen a flying ostrich on their radar screens recently?
Wesley, there are loads of sites where you can make comments like that, and where others will play the game with you — at least for a while. Try visiting the PZ Myers blog, or Richard Dawkins. Even Panda’s Thumb will let you play, until you become tiresome.
But this site has a different purpose. Evolution isn’t debated here. It’s known to be good science. If you need to catch up, you can do it elsewhere.
