I have to say that I am absolutely outraged and disgusted at the same time. Since when did we as a nation stoop so low to purposely teach lies to our children in the public schools?
I was flipping through one of the current science textbooks and I couldn't believe my eyes when I turned to page 300.
The textbook I am referring to is, “BIOLOGY” by Prentice Hall. I just can't believe that they are still trying to teach that fossils are proof of evolution. The only thing you can tell from a fossil is that it died. Now I don't mind them teaching evolution - but to lie?
On page 300 they are teaching that the whale used to have “hind limbs” and point to a little bone structure at the bottom of the whale's body.
The textbook says that it is proof of evolution! It says that this is proof that whales used to walk on land! That structure is well known to all scientists today that the structure this book is pointing to is a vital part of the whale's reproductive system. Not hind legs!
Why does this stuff get into textbooks?
I would like some help. I would like to start a motion to get all of the lies out of the public school textbooks. This is the next generation we are talking about here. The future of the world.
