The Lie Checkmated



	THE LIE CHECKMATED

	My progress toward proving that evolutionism is a bald-faced lie began in 1998 when I challenged the Grandmasters of evolutionism in Kanawha County and West Virginia and concluded in 2004 when I declared "Checkmate"! The NCSE, ACLU, and other true believers in evolutionism are staring at the chess board and will certainly try to spill the pieces and declare the game void, but the truth is they have lost.

	Highlights of this "game" consisting of a multitude of moves and countermoves follows.

	The first salvo of the game was an attempt at "Fool's Mate" with an Opening Game now known as the "Evolution Resolution". The Board of Education voted the Resolution down, but the BOE based its decision largely upon a policy on the teaching of "Controversial Issues" which they said covered the criticism of evolution.

	In order to reject the Resolution board members had to say some things that were totally illogical and biased. Every move takes at least a pawn from the evolutionists.

	A major capture of evolutionist's bishops was obtained from my Grievance. A central office administrator had told me that I could criticize evolution. However, after the uproar that developed during the debate over the "Evolution Resolution" there was a high degree of doubt about the administrator's intent. The administrative law judge (although ruling against me) brought clarity by formerly stating in the decision that I "Was given permission to criticize
	evolution"

	The Middle Game strategy involved an attempt to insert the book Pandas and People into the hands of science teachers. This really exposed the bigotry and duplicity of the evolutionists! After I spoke at a BOE meeting a very professional looking and well-spoken parent went to the podium. He began to read from a book which had been assigned to his daughter (a high school junior). Before he read a paragraph the BOE president stopped him because of the sexually explicit material. This gave board member Betty Jarvis an opening
	and a long debate resulted over why students were required to read material that could not be read at that meeting (which is televised locally by tape delay). In the discussion, Betty pointed out the BOE was preventing teachers from being exposed to "Pandas" while allowing students to read material that is highly offensive.

	An attorney from the Thomas More Center for Law and Justice, offered the board free legal services if the BOE had adopted "Pandas". We lost that vote 3- 2 when a professed Christian BOE member surprisingly voted "no" even though the only BOE member who was a scientist voted "yes". However, Mrs. Jarvis got permission to privately finance the placement of the books into secondary school libraries. The evolutionists lost both knights in this part of the game.

	To begin the End Game moves a parent filed a grievance over scientific errors in newly adopted science books. In the ruling against her the State Board official stated "There is agreement that students should be taught in their science classes to examine data critically considering both favorable and opposing hypothesis. To do otherwise, is to shortchange both the students and the scientific process; and, it is the role of the teacher to present an instructional balance as it relates to various theories that are included in
	the textbooks."

	Then the game moves went into the strategy of the wording of new State Science Standards. Once again the evolutionists made some moves that exposed their tendency to cheat when they see a fair game would result in their resounding defeat.

	This time the final ruling included an oral discussion by the State BOE which emphatically made the following part of the official record: "Teachers can teach evidence against evolution."

	To place my opponents into "Check" I made an appearance before the BOE to say, "I am here to respectfully inform you that I intend to do just that (criticize evolution) in my classroom. I will present, from secular sources, material that exposes evolutionism as absurd."

	"I will encourage my colleagues in math and science to do the same thing by teaching all the facts about evolution. I will encourage teachers from head-start to grade 12, in all content areas, to join us. I will encourage Current Events teachers to expose that Australian aborigines were considered flora and fauna until recent times because of Darwinism. I will encourage history teachers to reveal what was done to blacks and the handicapped due to eugenics which was rooted in Darwinism. I will encourage those who teach
	ethics to reveal the scary facts of Social Darwinism."

	"I will encourage art instructors to show how pure imagination is used to depict "missing links," particularly the complete family that was painted from viewing a single tooth which later was identified as belonging to an extinct pig? I will encourage evolution be taught in language classes. What a rich source for the fantasy genre of 'Just So Stories'. We may discover another Kipling."

	I sent a letter with similar content to the State Superintendent of Schools. In it I said that I will teach that the evidence clearly shows that every item associated with humans, animals and plants are Intelligent Designs and Intelligent Design is science because it is observable by billions of people trillions of times, always has been, always will be. The evolutionists lost their queen.

	I did the things I said I would do and formally, in writing, informed the NCSE and ACLU that I had done so. The "Mate" move was this Spring when I informed both the NCSE and ACLU that I had included a component showing students that every item associated with humans, animals and plants are Intelligent Designs and Intelligent Design is science because it is observable by billions of people trillions of times and it always has been.

	The game is over. Precedent has been established. Teachers, in West Virginia, can attack evolution as much as they desire.

	The next phase for me is to train and encourage other players to enter the game and control the board with an offensive attack that can't be countered.
