The biblical nonsense will assure that the US is left behind by the rest of the world. The bill in Colorado will not likely go anywhere because Dems control both houses.
All the GOP is doing here is putting up bait legislation to use in future campaign ads.

(27,787 posts)folks in depth ... and they are truly delusional.
And if you do hit them with a question, or some bit of logic that they can't "force fit" immediately, they immediately go off to the preacher to get the correct response.
For fun, when they say "I'll have to ask my preacher about that ... " I say ... "but shouldn't you be able to open the bible and just show me the answer?"
They hate that.

Noah took dino eggs on the Ark ... eggs are smaller, you don't need to feed them, and eggs don't leave giant poop piles to clean up.
See how easy that is!!

If there was "higher ground" Noah could just sail there, and then .... oh never mind ...

Now, since there was no death in the world before The Fall one might wonder why T-Rex has a mouth full of knives suited to only eating meat.
But that's no mystery... T Rex developed sharper teeth to adapt to the post fall environment through some cumulative process of the genetic retention of small adaptive changes.
And we call that process... God!!!
