Oklahoma bill would fire teachers for offending Christian morals by teaching biology, allows parents to sue teachers

He's like those old comics who would travel the USA for 12 years & never update their material. Same shit all the time.
It's true that I don't answer stupid, redundant, or loaded questions. There's a fix for that, ask better questions.

Is teaching evolution in a secular school a fact or opinion? After all, it's just a theory, right?

Science must be repeatable and falsifiable. Does evolution meet either of those requirements?
Kind of, but an old comic is still funny if they deliver their lines properly. This guy is just unbalanced. You know he sits around angry about it. He drives his car being pissed about it. If he has a job he's angry about it at work to his co-workers who just want him to STFU. If he has friends they roll their eyes and tune him out when he rants about it.
"How does it affect youuuu??"
Besides, I have plenty of balance. I despise Fran McCaffery's coaching as much as I despise you science-denying Taliban dipshits.
I'm trying to narrow the debate instead of letting extraneous topics muddle the discussion.
My question was quite succinct.. There were only 2 appropriate answers. Fact. Opinion.
You can't even explain abiogenesis much less increasing genetic complexity by random mutation. You certainly don't have data to back up either hypothesis.
No, I'm pointing out that we don't know diddly about where the material for the universe came from much less how it organized into sentient life on a floating rock in space.
Yes. That you don't know that demonstrates quite clearly that you have no f'n clue what you're talking about.
Every level of development to a functioning eye exists in extant creatures, you idiot.
LOLWUT?
Of COURSE we know "where it came from".
ALL of the heavier elements came from stars; supernovas, to be precise.
Where did the heavier elements that comprise supernas come from? Be specific, professor.
And the right seemed to complain about cameras going up and people running to turn in their fellow citizens to a nanny government as big brother and something out of 1984, yet here we are
Uh...they are MADE during supernovas.
They didn't exist UNTIL stars started collapsing and exploding.
Read up a smidge on how stars produce energy through fusion.
You know what the problem is? The day we allowed parents to force school districts into taking away discipline authority away from our teachers was the day this country started to fail.
Instead, lets put the little heathen in a corner for a timeout and punish teachers from trying to maintain control of their classroom. I'm not talking about corporal punishment here, I'm talking about having the ability to remove kids that are constant trouble makers and disrupt the ability for others to learn. Rural, Urban, no difference. There are zero consequences for actions today. Its pathetic. Really pathetic.

You ask a lot of questions but when it comes to answering them you cower. LOL
Can someone help Joe out here? He doesn't understand that there had to be a starting point in the way back past where everything in existence began.
Uh, yeah. But that didn't create any heavy elements.
It created hydrogen and helium
Those created stars.
When those stars burned through their hydrogen and helium, they started creating heavier stuff (up thru iron) until they exploded and created the heaviest elements. Most all of the stuff you are made of came from regular fusion in stars.

Not what your prior question was.
And just because no one knows what created the Big Bang doesn't falsify the rest of the science as to how the elements we're all formed from came in to existence. That's established fact. And we KNOW that "abiogenesis" happened, because we're here.
Joe conveniently ignores the observation requirement for scientific certainty. He thinks merely hypothesizing a possibility is sufficient.
There is no such "requirement"
No one's ever "seen" a Tyrannosaurus Rex. But we know they existed.
