Texas is only 6000 years old! | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine: "During the Texas State Board of Education hearings on science standards for Texas schoolchildren, BoE member and staunch creationist Barbara Cargill decided that the age of the Universe was up for vote."[. . . .]
"Need I say it? Her amendment passed, 11 to 3."

If I asked people who believe that the universe is 6000 years old why we can see light from stars millions of light years away, I wonder what kind of answer I would get. I wonder if they would tell me that astronomy is the work of the devil or something like that.
You mean you've been living in Texas since before it existed? Eerie, kids.
