Yet Another “Truth in Education” Bill? Make Me Laugh

A state senator from Indiana is going to be introducing a bill into the general assembly next year and we can all guess what the bill is trying to do. The “Truth in Education” bill, according to Kruse, will give students the right to question what they are being taught in the classroom.

Yet Another legislator that denies science

Apparently, the freshman senator Marco Rubio from Florida is taking the lead from other "giants" of the republican party like Rick Perry and saying that he is not sure about the age of the earth.  According to him, "It's a mystery".  Someone should clue Mr Rubio in to the fact that in scientific circles, there is no mystery about the age of the earth.   We know for a fact that it is approximately 4.5 billion years old.  We know the process through which the sun formed, it's age and when it will run out of fuel, expand and swallow the earth.  These are scientific facts that are not a mystery to anyone except those who choose to establish their beliefs through the ignorance of religion.  The worst of them believe the earth was literally formed in 7 days and is now approximately 6 - 10 thousand years old.  Never mind the fact that every scientific body in the world agrees that this is absurd, reality just doesn't appear to matter to these people.
