Igniting a scientific furor, scientists say they may have found the genetic mutation that first separated the earliest humans from their apelike ancestors.
2-17-2004 Evolution should be ousted from schools
The Georgia State Superintendent of Schools did not go far enough in her proposal to eliminate the term "evolution" from the science curriculum. The entire concept of evolution should be expunged from all public schools.
Evolution has been exposed as pagan Cebelese religion as practiced in Greece 2,500 years ago. It is completely absent in the universe today; always has been, always will be. Every item associated with humans, animals and plants are creations; always have been, always will be. Creation is science because it is observable by billions of people trillions of times; always has been, always will be.
Dr. Joseph Mastropaolo has challenged leading evolutionists (including entire groups) with a $10,000 debate challenge and he has not found an evolutionist worldwide, bar none that will debate.
Evolutionists have no evidence, not Star Wars, not swords, not pitchforks, not pointed shoes, nothing. When they wisely default on the debate challenge it proves they are all bluff and no science, or as they say in the Southwest, all hat and no ranch.
If there is overwhelming evidence to support evolution then evolutionists should have no fear of losing $10,000. It would just take 1000 evolutionists to chip in the price of a pizza to provide the $10,000 for the evolutionist side. Then the only risk to the true believers in evolution is that of being exposed as indoctrinating students with non-science nonsense.

2-15-2004 'Evolution' Not Only Word Missing From Proposed Curriculum
Atlanta - The word "evolution" is back in Georgia's proposed science curriculum -- but some scientists remain concerned about how the new plan treats other basic theories.
The Big Bang was eliminated and lessons on plate tectonics were scaled back when the proposed curriculum was released last month.
The theories are considered controversial in some circles because they conflict with religious beliefs about how God created the universe.
Here is one of the many Georgians that apparently the State Superintendent of Schools listens to:
2-13-2004 Evolution remains merely a theory on a weak foundation
The reason the evolution question keeps coming up is because so many scientists and academics are realizing the inadequacies of the neo-Darwinian explanation of the origin of complex life.
Macro-evolution is the transition from one major category to another. The fossil record is so lacking in transitional forms for macro-evolution that Stephen Gould of Harvard had to attempt an explanation which he called "punctuated equilibrium" to explain their absence. This is a major embarrassment for the neo-Darwinians.
The latter points out the amazing information in the DNA of our cells. Information requires a mind, the mind of an intelligent designer.
The only value that neo-Darwinian evolution can support is the survival of the fittest. The European Union is having difficulty grounding human rights and dignity in their constitution because they also start with a secular, naturalist premise, which does not allow for an intelligent designer.
Values based on human dignity and value come straight from our Judeo-Christian heritage. And when evolutionists appeal to these values they are crossing over to Judeo-Christian ground. What is at stake in the evolution issue is the recognition of any basis for human rights and dignity. They are grounded in our designer and His character.
2-6-2004 17 Yr olds Job as Hooters Hostess gets her afterschool work credit stripped
Savannah Georgia - The Effingham County School Board decided today that a 17-year-old high school senior working at Hooters won't be getting class credit for her job.
Student Laura Williams wanted her hostess job at Hooters to count for credit as part of her school's work study program, which lets students leave school early so they can work for course credit.
After hearing an appeal from Williams' parents, all five school board members agreed unanimously that the restaurant known for its waitresses in tight T-shirts and orange hotpants is too racy.
Board member Vera Jones said, "I know we live in a world of Britney Spears, but I don't see us giving school credit in that atmosphere."
William's father, Larry Williams, said he's considering a lawsuit against the school system. Meanwhile, his daughter says she won't quit her job. Laura Williams said, "It doesn't matter what decision they make. I plan on staying there. It's just a fun place to work."
She began working last month at Hooters in Savannah as a hostess, wearing khaki pants and a collared shirt rather than the skimpier outfit waitresses wear.
2-6-2004 Georgia School chief comes to her senses over evolution proposal
Some good sense broke out Thursday in Atlanta when Kathy Cox backed away from her ill-advised recommendation to eliminate the word "evolution" from public schools curriculum.
Her suggestion was an obvious effort to ingratiate herself with the religious right, a powerful political bloc in Georgia and across the South.
She issued a written statement Thursday that said, in part: "I want you to know today that I will recommend to the teacher teams that the word 'evolution' be put back into the curriculum."
Her statement went on to say that she proposed the change to the curriculum "to avoid controversy that would prevent people from reading the substance of the document itself. Instead, a greater controversy ensued."
Cox, a Republican who just began her second year as superintendent, won praise from social conservatives for her proposal, but was battered from many other quarters.
For example:
Gov. Sonny Perdue, a Republican who prefers the phrase "academic balance," another religious right buzzword used in advocating how to teach human development, urged Cox to drop the matter.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Stephens, a Canton Republican, said simply: "They ought to drop this and drop it now."
Former President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, Sunday school teacher and formally trained scientist, said he was "embarrassed by (Cox's) attempt to censor and distort the education of Georgia's school students."
Had she succeeded with her proposal, Georgia would have joined only five other states that have no reference to evolution in their public school curriculums. Entering that distinguished company is a distinction that Georgia, already last in the country in SAT scores, really didn't need.
Putting politics in front of a complete education for children is shameful. That's exactly what Cox did before the hue and cry forced her to back away from a plan that was poorly developed and detrimental to public education.
Hopefully, we can put this episode behind us and get on with solving real problems and issues that challenge our schools.
Now, that would be an evolution.
All over the News now:
1-30-2004 Ga. Official Wants to Replace 'Evolution'
"Here we are, saying we have to improve standards and improve education, and we're just throwing a bone to the conservatives with total disregard to what scientists say," said state Rep. Bob Holmes, a Democrat.
Former President Jimmy Carter had harsh words for the change on Friday, calling it an embarrassment and saying it exposes the state to nationwide ridicule.
"As a Christian, a trained engineer and scientist, and a professor at Emory University, I am embarrassed by Superintendent Kathy Cox's attempt to censor and distort the education of Georgia's students," Carter said in a statement.
Carter, a Baptist, said that existing references to evolution in Georgia's curriculum have done nothing to damage religious faith in the state.
Cox spokesman Kirk Englehardt said the superintendent was reviewing Carter's statement Friday morning and did not have an immediate response.
No wonder Georgia schools are 50th in the Nation, they have completely broken the whole idea of "school". They apparently have never heard of the concept "If it isn't broken don't fix it." They sure have broken school here.
There is only a link about the Budget but there is also a Bill in for a Proposed "Recess Time" in school now. Apparently the kids in all grades go from class to class with no break except for lunch period. The Bill proposes one 15 minute break for students during the day.
When was Study Hall eliminated?
In New York there was always one full class period a day that may change what time it was depending on the day but can always count on that time to "re-coup" somewhat from the day.
Also Georgia Schools have now stripped any reference to Darwin and "Evolution" from the Curriculum. God with Adam and Eve is the only thing allowed to be taught to the students.
1-29-2004 Local Officials: School Cuts Devastating
ATLANTA (AP) -- Local school officials painted an alarming picture for state legislators Wednesday of children being taken to school in worn-out buses and using tattered textbooks for their studies if Gov. Sonny Perdue's education cuts are approved.
Some also warned they will be forced to look to layoffs and to raise local taxes to absorb the hit.
Perdue, struggling to balance the books after two years of sluggish tax collections, has proposed cutting state grants to education by $126 million in the current budget and by a further $380 million in the budget for the year beginning July 1.
"I think we need to be honest about it," said Deloras Moon, a Jones County school board member and president of the Georgia School Boards Association. "If the state cuts it, it's going to be raised at the local level."
Edit: Thanks Fausto found a link to Georgia must teach students God only:
1-29-2004 Georgia State School Superintendent Kathy Cox moves to strike "Evolution" from schools.
The Georgia Department of Education based its biology curriculum on national standards put forth by a respected source, the American Association for the Advancement of Science. But while the state copied most of the national standards, it deleted much of the section that covers the origin of living things.
Terrie Kielborn, a middle school science teacher in Paulding County who was on the committee, recalled that Stephen Pruitt, the state's curriculum specialist for science, told the panel not to include the word evolution.
"We were pretty much told not to put it in there," Kielborn said. The rationale was community reaction, she said.
"When you say the word evolution, people automatically, whatever age they are, think of the man-monkey thing," Kielborn said.
If Georgia approves the revised curriculum, the state will be among six that avoid the word "evolution" in science teaching, according to the National Center for Science Education, a nonprofit organization that advocates for evolution instruction.
