Draft bill bans everything but ‘scientific fact’ in Montana’s science classes | Category: General Source
whatta_maroon says Oh cool, bye germ theory. Sickness is caused by demons again, but only within Montana state lines.
BelmontIncident says “Theory” in science means something different from “theory” in normal speech and I wish we emphasized that more. A scientific theory is an explanation that’s well supported by observation, it’s not the same as a guess.
Phyr8642 says So, who decides what is and is not facts? Please tell me it is not a white conservative judge in his 80s….
ledfrisby says “It is an indisputable fact that in 1859, Charles Darwin published his seminal work ‘On the Origin of Species,’ in which…”
SuitableNegotiation5 says Loooooooool and what’s the criteria for determining what ‘scientific fact’ is??? Hint: ITS NOT SCIENCE. Those kids are going to think that ‘science’ proves things like dinosaurs and humans living together on earth at the same time. I guess the separation of church and state is just pretty much out the window at this point?
DrTautology says We should allow people with no understanding of science dictate how it is taught. What could go wrong?
