Sad to say, Pawlenty is a nut like the rest of them, but we get what we deserve. MN is filled with religious nuts, so why wouldn’t the governor be one of them? Most religious nuts are harmless, but when they get into politics they can do some serious damage. We need to unite to defeat these jokers before they push their twisted anti-science views on unsuspecting children and warp their minds beyond repair.

Humans need to be in harmony with the earth and all creatures large and small. Currently, lead by the POPE, the biggest nut case of them all, we are breeding ourselves into a locust like population that will consume every resource on the earth and destroy ourselves in the process. We need to all unite as humans, reduce our numbers by having less children and live in harmony and balance with nature.

Unfortunately, humans have evolved only so far and I fear it will be a long time before our minds can deal with the reality of existence without the crutch of religion. Sad, but true. I think there are strong evolutionary pressures for selecting so many of us that can suspend reason for the feeling being loved by a higher power. Maybe in 10,000 years we will evolve out of it, I hope so, the world will be a better place with all mankind united and looking at each other as equals with a foundation of science and reality binding us.

Who's version of the creation story? No theory with a foundation of “god told me/them/us” has a place in public schools. A lot of people claim god told them things and they're all sincere in believing those things. These things often contradict each other. Draw your own conclusion.

If Pawlenty thinks that has a place in schools then he's not familiar with fundamental law. Evidently he's not familiar with fundamental science either. He has plenty of company. Pity. Neither makes me feel good about him as a governor.

In either case, these are beliefs and, as far as I know, not proven facts.
Perhaps all available theories and beliefs should be taught together.
