Texas Higher Education and Creation Research, Part 22

The Austin American-Statesman has a longer story on the THECB committee vote, including pinpoint accurate comments from Ray Paredes (emphasis added):

Paredes said the institute's catalog and other records portray as unshakable fact that the Earth is about 6,000 years old, that God created all things in the universe in six days as described in Genesis, that theories of origin and development involving evolution are false, and that most biblical miracles require a temporary suspension of basic natural laws.

"Whatever the ultimate merit of such views, they clearly stand at odds with the most basic tenets of scientific work such as observation, testing and analysis," Paredes said.

Yes. Someone gets it.
