Louisiana Private Schools Teach Loch Ness Monster Is Real In Effort To Disprove Evolution Theory

Some students at private schools in Louisiana are being taught that Scotland's fabled Loch Ness monster is real, a claim that is then held as evidence disproving Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, the Scotsman reports.

Thousands of students across the state are eligible to receive publicly funded vouchers to allow them to attend private Christian schools where textbooks published by Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) claim the monster was actually a dinosaur that existed at the same time as man, an assertion which conflicts with the theory of evolution.

The Times Educational Supplement, a British publication for teachers, published an article in 2009 that included an excerpt from Accelerated Christian Education's Biology 1099 textbook, which was published in 1995:

"Are dinosaurs alive today? Scientists are becoming more convinced of their existence. Have you heard of the `Loch Ness Monster' in Scotland? `Nessie,' for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur.
Could a fish have developed into a dinosaur? As astonishing as it may seem, many evolutionists theorize that fish evolved into amphibians and amphibians into reptiles. This gradual change from fish to reptiles has no scientific basis. No transitional fossils have been or ever will be discovered because God created each type of fish, amphibian, and reptile as separate, unique animals. Any similarities that exist among them are due to the fact that one Master Craftsmen fashioned them all."

Loch Ness monster tour guide Tony Drummond, 47, told the Scottish Sun the curriculum is "ridiculous propaganda."

And Bruce Wilson, a researcher specializing in the American political religious right, told the Scotsman that one of the texts also claims "dinosaurs were fire-breathing dragons."

"It has little to do with science as we currently understand. It’s more like medieval scholasticism," Wilson told the paper.

According to Scotland's the Herald, one of the textbooks also provides a somewhat controversial look at the Ku Klux Klan.

"The [Ku Klux] Klan in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and using the symbol of the cross ... In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with politicians," the textbook reads, according to the Herald.

I'm so glad that the world's most powerful country is educating it's pupils in a sensible, real-world-applicable manner.

Ah that one brightened my day.

Idiotic to assume that the whole country is being taught this. This was in Louisiana at a private Christian school, and therefore has nothing to do with the countries public government funded schools.

Im so sick of people taking small quotes of an overall larger body of work and using it to blanket stereotype an entire country. Im not defending the stupidity of the quote, simply implying this by no means represents the United States.

Nobody assumed anything........... ...Other than some of the worlds biggest idiots live in America.

To be fair to Smoothie it's possible that there are equal sized retards elsewhere but we simply don't put cameras in front of them.

I think the real crux of the problem here is religion

[abaraxas]

Here here

[jplpool]

I'm always up for bashing religion.

Is Jeebus still turning water into wine? If he is, can somebody ask him to come visit me?

He is still alive, isn't he?

Ok I will do a keg stand while spraying some in your mouth... I forgot to tell you that Holy Water is golden colored and very salty.

Sure they do... But considering there are people here from all over the world I would say the world is full of idiots and our freedom attracts that. On another note your welcome for all the inventions you use everyday that we Americans invented cause we were idiot enough to think they would work.

Please don't get into a competition with a Brit about inventions

Well no here is trying to bash Britian, but he likes to always make snide comments about Americans.  But he can go to another forum that doesn't celebrate a American band.

His point was that the list of things invented by the British is significantly larger than that of the USA's .
