Hard to find that part funny. That's such a sick thing to do to a child's mind.

Well, that's why it was a lollerpocalypse instead of a roflbrothel or lollerskates.

So is "teaching" children that man is descended from apes or some kind of sea dwelling creature. The latter I had never heard before, but I was "educated" on that issue a few days ago from a video someone posted here.
The verifiable science should be taught on both viewpoints. I have no problem with that. But theories should not be put forth as if they are FACTS. Because it is clear that the products of such "teaching" accept their government indoctrination as fact. After all, it IS the popular thing to believe and one must be in the "in" crowd.

intelligent design isn't science
it's creationism by another name, and creationism is theology, and theology has no place in scientific areas and classes

I liked the little touch of Family Guy there at the end.

Wow, yeah. Some of the comments aren't at all what I'd expect from a liberty lover...

sorry but this is not an example of the war on Christianity.
When people subvert the rule of law to prevent prayer in school, that is an example of a war on Christianity.
This is free people pointing out idiocy.

An Animal With Sharp Teeth Proves That It Has Sharp Teeth, Not What It Eats
The thread starter obviously has a problem with the view that T-Rexes were once plant-eaters, so allow me to explain this a little further from a creationist's persepctive. First, let me make this point: just because an animal has sharp teeth doesn't mean it is or was a meat-eater. There are many animals in the animal kingdom which eat solely plants, yet they have sharp teeth. Here are some examples to vindicate that:
Pandas, which eat bamboo
Fruitbats which eat fruits, of course
Plant-eating monkeys
So in light of this, it should not be difficult to understand how a creature with sharp teeth (such as a T-Rex) can also be a herbivore. Essentially, all of the animals God created were herbivores until man sinned. When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, death came about (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12), and that death extended to the animals because they were under subjection to man. As a matter of fact, God killed an animal to cover the nakedness and shame of Adam & Eve after they sinned, which has some profound implications about the nature of salvation and prophecy, but I won't go into those.
The point is once man sinned, death entered into the world, and animals began to kill each other for food. Before then, God had provided plants as living sustenance for both humans and animals (Genesis 1:29, 30). Since T-Rex was created on the sixth day of creation (as all land-dwelling animals were), then we know that he, too, was a plant-eating animal in the beginning. That is a creationist's perspective to explain the original diet of a T-Rex, and hopefully, it gives you some background to understanding why it was mentioned in the video by one of the tour guides.
