Thank you for the link. It was encouraging to read the violet paragraph:
Quote:
Public Education Secretary Christopher Ruszkowski, who did not attend the hearing, wrote Sunday in a public letter that the customized standards will give teachers and families “flexibility and local control around science materials, curriculum and content.”

Not everyone knows that God who made the world and everything in it understands everything about it. It would seem obvious to me that someone who made something would know how it was made, but need not tell me anything at all. God has not told us everything but He does make some information available such as about fruit trees. Let's compare a milliner. There are some very talented people producing some quite stunning hats and they have clients who could probably manage a half decent fascinator over a couple of weekends but who lack the experience and professional knowledge to create a masterpiece. The milliner will make some information available, how to care for the thing, how to clean it and stuff but won't necessarily reveal any tricks of the trade. At home it would be possible to investigate or even destroy the headpiece to see how it was made. And here's the point. If the milliner had made clear that the tulle was made from silk and required a specific care regime
[LEFT] but you decided it was not tulle at all instead claiming the fabric was tangerine burlap which should be boiled to bring out its natural iridescent qualities
[RIGHT] several things would follow. Firstly, when you boil your tulle tiara you will ruin it. Nextly, urgently, you dash out for some burlap because now we're operating on the "it's burlap" theory and it's never easy finding this fabric in tangerine so frantically you rush off to the speciality supplier and "Yes!" you cry. Sewing away like a maniac the gruesome bonnet takes form but, as we all know and as fate would have it, a silk feathered fascinator and a burlap tangerine toque are not the same thing at all.
Imagine my disappointment as with hope I read on only to reach the tangerine paragraph as follows:

God is like that milliner. He explains about His creation, how to care for it, gives some details about the materials He used and so on. Some people accept His instructions and understand that since He made everything He certainly knows every detail about it. And therefore what He says is true. The world is like the fascinator and it's just as God has explained it to be. But there are people who claim superior knowledge to God and not only do they know more than God, they also know that God is wrong. Big wrong. "God," they insinuate "what a fool! Let's all laugh at God ..no ..I've got a better idea: let's jeer and insult Him, make sure He gets the message HEY GOD," and of course God is listening. "We're onto you; we know you are a big fat liar liar pants on fire, God." Could there be any better exemplar than that goon in the tangerine paragraph? And just as when The Israelites decided they too knew better than God on subjects He has spelled out in considerable detail The L
ORD was forbearing. The Bible explains:
PSALM 81 .KJV . look up
11b-12 Israel would none of me. So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
God allows heretics to develop alternative science curricula based on heathen principles from pagan realms ever opposed to God, rekindled and regurgitated even by those who claim to speak for Him. And like God, in their forbearance the educators have allowed those who wish to walk in their own counsels to do so. God did not tell us how to make tulle, an interesting weave we worked out for ourselves. There's not much working out with burlap really but we did that too. God
has given some guidelines concerning fabrics generally and the millinery cited complies with those commands. I can run either of them up on the machine if anyone's interested by the way.
And thirdly, walking down the street in your zingy violet tulle will evoke quite different responses from the tangerine alternative! I've adjusted the pic to suggest a head inside. God's commandment precludes elastic obviously so it
will slide down. The point being that when someone's own counsel is so vastly different from what God has revealed on a subject where He's given quite a lot of information, it's just that obvious. They're not making stuff up to AUGMENT God's explanation, in the way weaving tulle (a new idea) augments His commandment (an established fact) about which yarns are permitted.
They're making up stuff which CONTRADICTS God's explanation and in this case making stuff up in His name! Darwinism is as different from The Bible as tulle fascinators are from a burlap bag over your head and even though they're given the option of teaching any junk science they fancy to impressionable minds still they wail for more. This is what we oppose.
