Coming Soon to Texas: A Master's Degree in Creation Science

Because Baylor University is not doing enough to plumb the seas for Noah's Ark, an advisory committee of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has recommended that the Institute for Creation Research be given the authority to grant Master's degrees in science education. Perhaps the training will help graduates stay employed in the Lone Star State, rather than getting fired like the state's former director of science curricula, a shameless Darwin booster.

Is Texas devolving? Not at all. According to the Institute's mission statement, it will only enroll the self-motivated, responsible student who "is more self-disciplined ('whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God;' I Cor. 10:31) and takes education seriously ('And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;' Colossians 3:23)."

The Texas Observer reports that the same guys brought us the Creation Museum in Kentucky (see Adam frolic with the dinosaurs!), and are at work stumping for Mike Huckabee in Iowa.

1. is this serious?

Baylor?

I sure as hell hope they lose their accreditation if they do this. This is a travesty.

(not that I really think any accreditation agency would have the guts to pull Baylor's accreditation over it)

2. It can't be serious!

People are trying to get the master's in creationism approved, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Baylor will go for it.

:rofl:

The same people that brought us the Creation Museum:

http://www.creationmuseum.org/

I once brought that web site up in front of a college classroom as an illustration of evaluating sources. It was so funny! You should have seen the reactions from the students! :rofl:

HEY! The Creation Museum web site is announcing that the museum will be featured on Faux News over Christmas!

3. "God did it"

Gimme my sheepskin!

4. No need to.

I just created my own. In fact, I just gave myself a PhD in Creationism.

I'd create one for you as well but I've already used up my six days.
