Re: Biology, 2015 A.D.

I had long thought that the Thought Police were based in Florence - correct
me if I am wrong. In England they are based in Leicestershire the best
county for pork pies.

It says a lot about paranoia, just imagine if Dover, Arkansas etc had gone
the other way!

What is sad is that many will think this a wonderful word of warning

Interesting link;

The text follows:

The following article written by David Menton , Ph.D. (cell biology),
Associate Professor (retired) of Anatomy at Washington University School of
Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri (1966-2000), is really a spoof on the current
situation regarding the creation/evolution battle in the secular school
system. However, at the same time, what Dr. Menton has written could become
reality if the secularization of this culture continues. You may smile as
you read this article-but be warned: much of what Dr. Menton portrays is
only an extension of what is happening right now in this culture. We print
this as a wake up call to God's people concerning the state of the nation
and its future.

Welcome to your federally mandated biology class-"The Evolution of You by
Way of the Zoo." I am Miss Lead, I have a B.S. degree in "Evolutionary
Indoctrination" and I will be your learning facilitator.
I especially want to welcome you students who are new to our Federal
schools. I know that this has been a trying year for many of you and your
families, but as you know, the Supreme Court has declared that homeschooling
and all explicitly Christian schools are prohibited by law and that you must
now attend a federally controlled school. I thank you for your willing
cooperation. It is regrettable that some children had to be forcibly taken
away from their uncooperative parents, but the Court has decreed that it is
the State, not the parents, who are primarily responsible for their
education.
It is required by law that we spend our first class period advising you of
the legal rules and regulations governing both the definition of science and
impermissible thoughts in the science classroom. As your facilitator, I
myself must follow these regulations to remain on the federal payroll, and
you must follow them to avoid being sent for mental deprogramming. So listen
up! It is no fun having your memory banks reset to that of an artichoke.
First we will consider the legally mandated definition of science: The
Supreme Court has declared that "Science is the study of everything in the
cosmos that is real and involves the effort to explain the origin of all
real things in exclusively materialistic terms." The Court has defined the
"cosmos" (i.e., material universe) in terms of Sagan's law-"The cosmos is
all there is, all there ever was, and all there ever will be." Please note
that the Court has left the entire realm of things that are unreal to the
exclusive domain of the church. In this way that impregnable "wall of
separation" between church and state, so wisely mandated by the framers of
our Constitution, is not breached.
Next we must consider the two laws of "Unthinkable Thought" which prohibit
certain thoughts and speech in the science classroom. To enforce these laws,
the courts require that all classroom instruction and discussion in science
be recorded for analysis on videotape and that all teachers and students
submit to lie detector questioning by Federal Thought Police. Those failing
such tests will be given one more chance to abandon their unthinkable
thoughts before being subjected to deprogramming.
In the "First Law of Unthinkable Thought," the courts have declared that "no
student or teacher will be permitted to think, much less articulate, any
thought that dares to question the dictates of evolutionary dogma." While
critical thinking and a questioning mind are essential to all fields of
empirical science, such is not the case for evolutionism. The courts have
found that atheists and "skeptics" never question the fact of evolution,
while most criticisms of evolution, no matter how valid or scientific they
might be, come from suspected "stealth" religionists and thus constitute the
teaching of religion.
The "Second Law of Unthinkable Thought" (best known as the
"Anti-Intelligence law") declares that "no teacher or student will be
permitted to think, much less articulate, any thought that something in
nature is too complex and integrated to have been formed by random chance
processes and to suggest instead that it reflects intelligent design or, God
forbid, a divine Creator." Educators have found that most students tend to
think of the possibility of intelligent design when teachers give
insightful, substantive and enthusiastic lectures on complex biological
systems. Thus the law now requires that biology teachers must give
superficial and boring lectures laced with evolutionary speculation on
organs such as the eye, lest students be led astray by their intuitive
recognition of intelligent design.
But why you might ask (but dare not) have the courts passed such draconian
laws governing our very thoughts in the science classroom? The answer is
really quite obvious. For years evolutionary dogma has been taught
extensively in almost every class from first grade on, but surveys have
shown that most students still fail to believe in evolutionism. Professional
educators are amazed that even further increasing the quantity and intensity
of evolutionary indoctrination has proven unsuccessful in producing true
believers! Even worse, these unbelievers seem to have no difficulty in
feeding back to us the required correct answers to evolutionary questions on
examinations-indeed they seem to perform better than the true believers!
Surely you can see that it was time for the courts to intervene and require
actual belief in evolutionism and not just indoctrination. The very survival
of America, indeed the survival of the world as we know it, depends on it!
After all, Dobzhansky's law declares that "nothing in biology makes sense
without evolution." If students do not truly believe in evolutionism, it is
a proven fact that they will be totally incapable of pursuing any field
requiring scientific understanding. Thus they will be completely unsuitable
as teachers, researchers, physicians, nurses, engineers, geologists,
astronomers, farmers, lawyers, parents, news reporters, talk show hosts and
popular entertainers.
Finally I will remind you that a federally mandated sticker known as the
"revised Cobb County sticker" has been permanently affixed on the inside
cover of your biology textbook declaring:
"This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a fact, not a
theory, regarding the origin of living things. This material must be
approached with a closed mind, studied superficially, and uncritically
accepted."
You are required by law to memorize this sticker and repeat it as a
confession of faith before meals and each time you open and close the book.
Rest assured that all these laws forbidding unthinkable thoughts and
requiring unquestioning belief in crass materialism and evolutionism have
received the enthusiastic support of almost all the professional
educational, legal and human rights organizations as well as from
distinguished people of faith from nearly all of the major Christian
denominations and seminary schools. Now, if we are all willing to comply
(and of course, you are), let's get started!
