Darwin's Ten Suggestions

The "moderate" State School Board has saved Kansas from ridicule! With 
Darwinistic Evolution reinstated as the only way to do science in Kansas public 
schools, I offer this replacement of the Ten Commandments to commemorate the 
occasion:

The Ten Suggestions of Naturalistic Evolution:

Thou shall have no other theory.  Evolution answers every question. Evolution 
cannot be questioned.

Thou shall bow down to. . . whatever. Money is popular. Be thine own god, but 
be thou not surprised if thy will is dominated by the State.

Thou shall misuse the name of you-know-who. It's meaningless. Wear it on your 
shirt, stick it on your car, what you say shows who you are.

Sabbath day of rest? Forgetest thou about it! Work, work, work for commoners! 
No need of rest for aristocrats.

Forgeteth parents, honor thy teachers. Parenting will fully phase out when 
all are selectively bred in labs. The State will employ trained, certified 
specialists to educate/test/classify the potential humans. "Love" is an illusion, a 
chemical reaction. No time for parenting—get to work!

Kill. It's a survival instinct. Survivors get to breed. This is what "natural 
selection" means. Abortion, infanticide, euthanasia; all natural selection.

Commit adultery. It's a survival instinct. Have sex with men, women, animals, 
whatever. Taboos are remnants of religious mythology.

Steal. It's a survival instinct. Resources are limited, life is short. Get 
OPM. Natural selection means if they can't hang onto it, they don't deserve it. 

Lie. It's a survival instinct. Put your hand on the Bible and say whatever 
gets you out of trouble, or keeps you in office.

Covet. It's a survival instinct. Why should you have less than your neighbor? 
Coveting makes you work more hours so you can buy more stuff and pay more 
taxes. Coveting is good for the economy.

The Biblical Ten Commandments were considered the very foundation of justice, 
law and order in Western Civilization. Do you think they should be kept and 
taught to our children? Are you serious? Does anyone know the Ten Commandments? 
Do you? 
By defining science according to a theory which pre-supposes no possibility 
of supernatural intervention, the "scientific community" rules out the 
possibility of rational belief in the claims of Jesus. Not by reason, but by 
definition. All who question this are portrayed by the media as close-minded. The 
general public isn't told that most of the revered members of the "scientific 
community" hold extreme moral and political positions that are completely at odds 
with the principles of our own Constitution. If we aren't created, we can't be 
created equal. If right and wrong are not established by the transcendent God 
who judges all men as our forefathers believed, who makes the rules? As the 
State becomes the ultimate authority, kiss "consent of the governed" good-bye.
Ridicule may sway, but it isn't an argument, it's evasion.
