In the wake of the Cobb County, Georgia School District’s decision to add warning stickers to science textbooks discussing evolution (reproduced verbatim at right), check out this page of satirical textbook disclaimer stickers.
I’m really getting sick of the religious right sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong, in this case trying to undermine science with religious beliefs. The national news finally picked up on a related story that I had posted about last summer, in which the National Park Service approved the sale of a creationist publication at the Grand Canyon that preached its own biblical version of how the Canyon was created. The more I hear about things like this, the more I worry about children who may be brainwashed into believing assertions like the Earth is only 10,000 years old because “the Bible told them so.”
Update: Davezilla’s take on the disclaimer is pretty funny.
