the students should choose what to learn.

And if they choose to learn that 2+2 = mystical flying monkeys?

It's true for very apelike and aerodynamic values of two.

women put yogurt into their vagina.

THAT'S an awful idea. Even if it looks like cum.

you can eat garlic if you've been invited.

hmm...never heard that one.
I like just chewing it. Relieves
my teeth from itching. Probably
should take it up, rather than smoking.



a friend of mine said 'tis supposed to cure a yeast infection. :P

you also show up in the mirror
and can drink holy water
when you're invited.

Guzzle the stuff. Get a kick out of

No. Though I DO have to be invited
to enter someone's home, if not other
things.

in that case, evolution couldn't be taught either, as it's still only a theory.

nope.  not conclusively.  you'd be surprised how many candidates trip over that one in their exams.

I'd go further. It's the very nature of natural
science to be unprovable. All that there are are
theories, open for revision, or overturning.

Indeed? Please enlighten me as to ANY scientific 'fact' which is
not subject to the rule of being falsifiable. Of course, staying out
of the realm of axiomatized subjects, such as pure mathematics
and logic, and within the natural sciences. If you find one, I do
believe that you'll turn that subject into the laughingstock
of the scientific world.

Christian Creationism in schools is not as bad people say it is, lot more better than changing what is taught in schools to please Muslim' s. Like treating the pre-islamic history of various societies as time of ingorance or not teaching the holocaust (I've heard some British schools aren't teaching it anymore not to offend Muslim students).

Interesting fact America won a lot of nobel prizes for science when they were teaching just christian creationism in the school systems, which was from the 1920's to supreme court decision banning the teaching of Christian Creationism in the 1980's.
