Louisiana state senator insists science has proven creationism over evolution - and he’s a Democrat
Louisiana state Sen. John Milkovich appears to be the kind of Democrat who has been seen for quite a while — since William Jennings Bryan at the Scopes Monkey Trial — arguing at a meeting Tuesday night of the state Senate Education Committee for the scientific teaching and accuracy of the Bible over evolution.
The measure was brought forward by Republican state Sen. Dan Claitor, as part of an overall effort on his part to have the state clean up its law books by repealing various acts that have been found unconstitutional.
But as The Times-Picayune reports, the committee voted 4-2 to keep the state’s unenforceable “Balanced Treatment for Creation-Science Act,” which was passed in 1981 and stuck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1987 case Edwards v. Aguillard.
And during that hearing, Milkovich was the most passionate advocate for creationism. At one point, he asked Claitor, “if you are equipped to acknowledge this, or have the background that in fact, scientific research and developments and advances in the last hundred years — particularly the last 50, 20, ten years — have validated the Biblical story of creation,” through archaeology of ancient civilizations, and even the discovery of Noah’s Ark on a mountaintop.
Milkovich also added that “the notion of instantaneous creation has been validated by the scientific study of heliocentric circles in rocks.”

But since he's got that big "D" next to his name, that's all he needs to deserve our vote. Right?
