X
and Meghan Kelly is on TV saying that
Jesus was white and so was Santa Claus
and a it's just a fact it's a
a historical fact kids get used to it and so
what better day then to talk about how
in eleven states you and I with our taxpayer dollars are supporting
creationist curriculum homeschool curriculum
with with a creation is bent which is
going to kneecap in my opinion this country and these children
should they ever decide to go into the sciences or pretty much anything I'll
other than going to Liberty University we can get in without even having to
take a GED
here hope and as with this is the president of creation two day
Eric welcome to the program I thought about travel back I appreciate it
thanks for joining us I why would anybody want to do this to their
children and it seems like
it borders on child abuse to be choice teaching children
up science in the context of religion when religion and science are
are two completely different areas at all for that matter to be teaching
religion as a better as a statement of fact
when there are other religions that believe very different things and
there's no comparative religion
I A really in this curriculum or should be teaching kids that basically
Jesus was a political conservative in them
in the modern mold in that liberals are somehow I evil people I i
I don't get it well obviously knew when I come from opposing years then because
I would disagree strongly with some the same issue may be why should we let
questions
change their kids what they believe about creation
and do that in science we find creation fight this all over the United States
it hasn't Nick after handicaps them whatsoever
russia they can find a few jailed billionaire right-wing Christians wanna
find them
I am particularly those who own big oil companies want to fund them tooth to
you know promote a science that suggests that that you know
global warming is in a script the world but it bats a very very limited market
place
and and and my primary objection is that an eleven states
our tax dollars are paying for this stuff well let me tell you what's even
worse than that
in all 50 states tax dollars are going to tell the kids
that they are cuz also Ananas and they all have also locks
three billion years ago that's mean forced
now we can strokes in all 50 so you think that the
that the minerals in your body did not start out as rocks what I'm saying we
did not evolve
from a random process over billions of years how do you know that eventually
coming from the earth which it's made out a rock or radio show on
I do you know that our because I we actually have a revelation from God to
tell us how it really did happen he ate
created the world and there are far too many proper case he and I have no
problem with you believe in that and I have no problem with you promoting that
in a church
or a religion class but if that's the way you're going to teach science you
gonna do it my tax dollars
I have a big problem with that why I have a big problem with
my tax dollars and your tax dollars going to tell the kids that they all
involve a rock
the Big *** is what created everything from nothing that's what they're
teaching nothing exploded or no it was a singularity it wasn't nothin
what were the singularity come from and what do they say they say nothing well
that's one other than a few thousand
you enough new American are magazine Alan cue the famous I this is when
writing about this for some time he says
everything came from nothing and I you know that that happened is
a that's inconsistent with my understanding of
love a.m. you know the general theory of relativity in the in the theories on the
bank in a club but
be so what I mean it and they are there's an enormous amount of evidence
that the universe has been expanding for thirteen point eight billion
years you're trying to suggest that it's only me what six thousand years old
six thousand years all that's exactly why I can't walk in them enough to
support I was just talking with no lie
an event he didn't at the University of Florida Bill Nye brings up the human
population being
7.1 will also buy one billion today and in 1964 when he was up a welfare
in just across the three million mark current 115
its exponential worker it's very easy to do the math it has been an exponential
growth curve I heard a
it goes back forty four hundred years she
except for the fact that the reason why we have the exponential growth curve is
because in 1865
colonel Drake drilled the first commercial oil well in Titusville
Pennsylvania
we out why we have the exponential growth what's your insider what
were it not work for creating food oil we're doing it all over the world were
transporting
were transporting or you know food with oil were fertilizing
the we're at yellow and green revolution hope is the act was based on
exponential growth will happen no matter what
okay so I just do the math mathematics makes a very simple tracing back when
it's over 4400 so this is the kinda stuff the yuan teach kids
as science now what's interesting is
I'm not the one advocating that the public school system
change this because that is fine we're not talking about public school system
you were talking about homeschooling
that is funded in the states and offered vouchers that is funded
with money that would otherwise only go to public schools
wires you and your taxpayer dollars other side why won't you say you're
right I'm forcing you
ehrlich's to pay for live need to be taught you talk because it's not my view
it's science
30 million years ago that's not as much science that's a historical idea but
it's not science
know Eric it is science I and I hate to break this to you but science
in one other 1 the Principal tenants a science is that you never speak
or rarely speak in absolute certainties
you speak in Chi in the context of you know this this seems to be the
now it used to be that they thought the universe when I was in in school the
thirty years ago
there forty years ago they said you know the nurse a fifteen billion years old
now they've got a fine tune down to thirty
13-point eight billion you're always you know fine-tuning these things but
science doesn't declare certainty the way that religion does
your my chain religion not saying science can't be certain about gravity
science can be certain about anything there you know that's that's what that
that's when the core tenets a science
is that is that certainty is
you know essentially unscientific right so when everything is always open to
question which they
whereas religion which is not at all scientific
is all about so lonely you know hater what I said this
that's it you don't have to think about it anymore now go on your life with your
life
know if there's is still going on Tom science says we should question
everything
what what they don't let your question is the evolution paradigm
this pipe and I can give you hundreds of example what size doesn't let you
questions the cockamamie idea that has only really been around since the 80 and
eighteen eighties that that though that the universe is
only six thousand years old bats you know scientifically that's a that's both
stupid and and and demonstrably wrong how cold the magnetic field is getting
weaker putting an actual angel twenty-five thousand years on it
call it a live laugh love when ten thousand years I we've still got
comments going to our solar system
how can we got the human population at seven billion set up exponentially more
than that right now
the truth is the science math what we really see happening today
does not support know these things you're throwing out a rather not talk
about this in educating our
are neither accurate nor scientific that it's very scientific what
talking or 20 I think six Doctor degree professor level
teachers at just at Liberty University essential national Liberty
well older because Liberty University lets you in without even having a GED
yeah fast so basically if they don't believe in evolution
and their stupid that's what you say i'm saying that they can't I don't
I would not want a scientist at about 60 percent of America doesn't believe in
evolution
fifty percent of American my science
so sixty percent of Americans believe that God created the earth our last
10,000 years
there's sixty percent of Americans are not going to have a shot at bean
scientists or engineers
beyond the fact you're trying to expand that number is really tragic I think
yeah engineered don't use the evolutionary doctors know if the ambush
now with the use the scientific they use they use the same
they use scientific principles 10.1 a new science
it's not what you think they have science and evolution is not hard to
find
why we left on lunch %uh I
people while only a American leaving you with the last working day yet what you
just add Eric Harland
creation today down thank you
this is the Thom Hartmann program
so what do you think should we be using our tax dollars to fund
home school education that the worlders 2004
