South Carolina Education Committee Removes Evolution From Standards 665
Toe, The writes "The South Carolina Education Oversight Committee approved new science standards for students except for one clause: the one that involves the use of the phrase 'natural selection.' Sen. Mike Fair, R-Greenville, argued against teaching natural selection as fact, when he believes there are other theories students deserve to learn. Fair argued South Carolina's students are learning the philosophy of natural selection but teachers are not calling it such. He said the best way for students to learn is for the schools to teach the controversy. Hopefully they're going to teach the controversy of gravity and valence bonds too. After all, they're just theories."

You will freeze in the frozen swamp of ice crocodiles for suggesting Udu isn't science, but hey, if you want to spend eternity that way instead of frolicking with 187 she-tortoises in the post-life, that's YOUR problem.

Tax the followers of Udu? Would you tax Udu for his shell? His shell that protects YOU from evil?
No, my fallen friend, you cannot tax the creator of the universe any more than you can tax sheltered offshore profits. They are beyond the reach of little people like you.
Come back to Udu and you will learn to protect your own "shell" as the followers of Udu protect their "shells" from the evils and tax collectors of the world.
