Quote:Children at some American schools are to be taught that the Loch Ness monster is real!
The crazy plans have been put in place by privately-run Christian schools in Louisiana to disprove Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
Pupils at the schools will start using text books next year which claim the Scottish beast is a real living creature.
The Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) programme also includes other controversial topics which are aimed at disproving evolution in favour of creationism.

Even if the Loch Ness monster is real, how does that disprove evolution?

So what? These are the same people who think that the Flintstones is a documentary. You didn't actually think these people grew a brain overnight, did you?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

There is far less that is implausible about Loch Ness Monster, or indeed a pot of god at the end of rainbow, than there is in each essential part of the biblical narrative. So why should bible heads not believe that too?

But they *know* thats not true. No scientists are claiming loch ness is for real, its demonstrably false.
How can they possibly begin to justify this?
