Anti-Science bill in Indiana.....

I ask that you carefully research the facts behind the drive to bring creationism into our children’s classrooms. It isn’t about science. It’s about belief.We should speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent. The Bible is silent on science.

IndianapolisKruse said today that he had hoped the House would revise the bill to be closer to his original proposal and was disappointed by Bosma's decision.Kruse said he will probably introduce the proposal again next year and that lawmakers shouldn't just rely on the Supreme Court's 1987 ruling on the teaching of creationism."We have five pretty decent Supreme Court members who have been ruling pretty conservative on a lot of different things and they might have had a different ruling," Kruse said.

Creationists should not be muzzled, instead, our ideas should be able to compete on their merits - especially at school.

The bill allowing the teaching of the various theories concerning the origin of life (the legislation was amended in the Senate to require theories from multiple religions be taught) is unlikely to receive a committee hearing or vote in the House. The Speaker of the House stated to the media last week that delving into an issue that the US Supreme Court has said is not compliant with the US Constitution is an area we don’t need to get into and he also assigned the bill to the Rules and Legislative Procedures Committee which is generally where bills are assigned to ensure they don’t get committee hearings.I highly doubt that this legislation will be passed into law or come before me for a vote. However, should it come before me I will certainly keep your concerns and opposition in mind.Sincerely,Rep. Tim Brown, MD
