The Texas Board of Education is the very model of educational failure when it comes to science. In fact, it should not be within the purview of any board of education to rule on what does or does not constitute science, math, language, history, or any other subject covered by their schools. The board has administrative responsibilities and that's it. You can't vote something into fact. You cannot legislate science.
The universe, by our very best understanding, is about 13.5 billion years old. The earth is 4.5 billion years old. Life on earth either came from terrestrial abiogenesis or extraterrestrial abiogenesis. After life started or was deposited on our planet, a process known as evolution lead single-celled organisms to, over billions of years, become life as we know it today. Anything taught to the contrary is wrong, and those that teach it not teachers.
If this madness continues, expect me to become the first atheist, pro-science Sunday School teacher in Texas, and expect more to follow.
