I would love to just sit back, but unfortunately while I'm "sitting back" scientist continue evangelize their religious message as fact in classrooms across the country. Our Kid's text book says, "Evolution is fact", referring specifically to cosmic evolution. Scientific evidence that challenges evolution is grounds for termination in our local schools. If we keep on sitting back, we'll be burned at the stake!

Nonsense! Your shadowy atheist overlords look kindly on such a passive show of submission. As long as you're not one of the insurgents who are trying to stand in the way of our glorious agenda, no harm will come to you.
If someone has "evidence that challenges evolution", they can submit it to peer-reviewed publications. So far it's never happened. The only "challenges" to evolution have been "God of the gaps" arguments and arguments from personal credulity. They're fallacious. They're not valid evidence. Teachers who use them should be terminated, especially if they use them in an attempt to support their personal religious beliefs. They're supposed to know better.
Judging by the way he/she/it throws the phrase "cosmic evolution" around, I guess what is meant is a bunch of horny galaxies fornicating together and having kid-galaxies out of wedlock, instead of saving themselves for good, Christian marriage.

"What on Earth is cosmic evolution?" That's Creationist-speak for the origins of the universe.
Creationists like to call every scientific origin theory they disagree with "Evolution" -- that way, when they attack any one of these theories, they denigrate all of them at once.
@all: Cosmic evolution refers to the group of theories about star and planet formation, among other things.
Evidence that challenges evolution is welcomed. If someone were to seriously challenge evolution and use actual evidence to disprove it, they would become an instant scientific celebrity.
Scientists don't burn people at the stake. That's you guys, remember?

And the text book is wrong if it says "evolution is fact". It's not a fact, but a scientific theory.
Though, sadly, these 'tards don't know what a scientific theory is.
"I would love to just sit back, but unfortunately while I'm "sitting back" scientist continue evangelize their religious message as fact in classrooms across the country."
Evolutionary theory is science, not religion. They're quite opposite one another and I fail to see how people continue to confuse the two.
"Our Kid's text book says, "Evolution is fact", referring specifically to cosmic evolution."
Cosmic evolution? What be this?
"Scientific evidence that challenges evolution is grounds for termination in our local schools."
No, teaching religious propaganda in place of valid science is grounds for termination in any school that's publicly funded. If you want to teach tripe like ID/creationism, do it in a private school.
Ah yes, the fundie version of evolution...
Which is like some goddamn unifying theory of everything.
Evolution = Biological process of speciation depending on the effects of nature within variation in a group by elimination of those who cannot mate.
Big Bang = Physics. A model for the formation of the universe which holds up to the laws that we know are true for this universe.
Therefore... Those words you keep using. I don't know what they quite mean.

It is. The study of evolution isn't a question of "Does it happen?", its a question of "How does this happen?". Offspring are not carbon copies of their parents, there is changes in populations with every generation.
Scientific evidence that challenges evolution is grounds for termination in our local schools.
Er really? What ground breaking science fairs has your school been running?
"Evolution is fact", referring specifically to cosmic evolution"
No no, that's wrong. If you keep on sitting back, you won't start burning intelligent people at the stake again.
There is no scientific evidence that really challenges evolution.
For those who asked, "cosmic evolution" is one of Kent Hovind's six types of evolution:
- Cosmic evolution: the origin of time, space, and matter from nothing in the “big bang”
Hovind would show his audience this list at the beginning of his seminar, and then say that only micro-evolution has anything to do with real science.
Of the Temple in Hovind's list, only the last two actually are actually relevant to anything Darwin ever said. All the rest are covered by separate sciences.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
