Creationists thwarted in South Korea

News just in:
Science and Archaeopteryx Overcome Creationism in South Korea
Quote: South Korea’s government has urged textbook publishers to ignore calls to remove two examples of evolution from high-school textbooks.
The move follows a campaign earlier this year by the Society for Textbook Revise (STR), which argued that details about the evolution of the horse and of the avian ancestor Archaeopteryx should be removed from the books.
The STR, an offshoot of the Korea Association for Creation Research, says that students should learn “various” theories about the development of life on Earth. It argued that the textbooks used flawed examples of evolution that are under debate by evolutionary scientists.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

The evolutionary history of horses...under debate....surely they jest?
A quick jaunt over to wiki....because I wanted to be sure I remembered this right...and...yep..yep
"Paleozoologists have been able to piece together a more complete picture of the modern horse's evolutionary lineage than that of any other animal."

The best thing about being a creationist is you don't have to let inconvenient, silly things like 'facts' and 'science' get in the way.

If only the US government had the balls that the South Korean government has.
How wonderful would it be for them to tell these theistic morons to shut the fuck up.

It's high time some fantasists accepted that there IS no debate, Stimbo. I refer you to my sig line below. N
