INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Creationism could be taught alongside the theory of evolution in Indiana schools under a bill passed by the state Senate.
The Indianapolis Star reports if the bill becomes law, the debate over teaching creationism could lead to a lengthy legal battle.
The bill, passed Tuesday by the Senate 28-22, would still need to be approved by the House and signed by Gov. Mitch Daniels before becoming law.
"I believe in creation and I believe it deserves to be taught in our public schools," said Sen. Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn, the bill's author.

A Republican member of the Indiana General Assembly withdrew his bill to create a pilot program for drug testing welfare applicants Friday after one of his Democratic colleagues amended the measure to require drug testing for lawmakers.

Not only did Indiana pass the "magical creation" thing, but when Republicans tried to pass a "drug test the unemployed", Democrats added an amendment that anyone receiving "state money" has to be drug tested, including, get this, Republicans in the Senate.
Oops, they didn't like that.
You gotta love these Republicans. Their meanness and ignorance right out there for everyone to see.
