State Rep. Bill Zedler's Proposed Creationist Legislation is Causing Quite the Big Bang
Yesterday, Zedler spoke at length with Mother Jones's Josh Harkinson about his proposed legislation. I am thinking of staging the back-and-forth as a one-act; perhaps Kevin Moriarty's interested. An excerpt:
MJ: I thought people doing work on the science of evolution typically don't weigh in on what caused the beginning of life.
BZ: I wonder why?
MJ: They say they don't know the answer.
BZ: If somebody does decide to weigh in, why should they be discriminated against?
MJ: Because they don't have the scientific evidence to substantiate their views.
BZ: The debate ought to be: "How did it happen?" But we're not gonna allow that one to be brought up! I don't think they oughta be thrown off campus if they come up with it.
