Guess who turned up at the Texas State Board of Education for the hearing on evolution? Barney the Dinosaur! And he had a good question for board chairman Don McLeroy: “How Old Am I – 4,000 or 64,000,000 years?”Good question, Barney. We’d like to know the chairman’s answer as well.
Barney was also seen handing out a flier with some advice for state board members. See Barney’s flier after the jump.

State Board of Education Chairman Don McLeroy
says there are many “weaknesses” of the theory of
evolution. He says that there are two systems of science:
“You’ve got a creationist system and a naturalist system.”
– New York Times, June 4, 2008BARNEY KNOWS:
Creationism isn’t science. Let’s listen to scientists.
Physicists know that the universe is billions of years old.
Geologists know Earth is more that 4 billion years old.
Biologists know that life has evolved over eons.BARNEY SAYS:
Shouldn’t Texas kids know at least as much as a purple dinosaur?
