solved in the next 100 years.

2. I gotta wonder, why did Jindal join what he considers to be "the stupid party" in the first place?

"Being a brown man, I think I'll cast my lot with the Party of Herbert Hoover, J. Edgar Hoover, Joe McCarthy, plumber-in-chief Richard Nixon and a long line "states rights" dog whistlers, such as Barry Goldwater and John McCain.

That way, nothing could possibly go wrong with my political ambitions."

3. But Jindal promotes the teaching of creationism.

Nothing could be a more certain display of stupid.

4. The 192 hour version of creation is stupid.

There are less stupid versions consistent with the language of the Bible, especially considering how poetically the Bible is written.
and how several versions of the Book of Genesis were pasted together to produce the version that came down to us.

In at least two places in the Old Testament, God is quoted as saying that he does not measure time as we do.

Not telling anyone what to believe or not to believe. I am just saying that the Bible never forced William Jennings Bryan (or anyone else) to adopt a version of the Biblical creation story that foreclosed the possiblity of peaceful co-existence with the theory of evolution.

All that aside, what public schools teach is circumscribed by the Constitution.

Let churches and parents teach the Bible. Public schools are free to teach only science.
