The Association of Christian Schools International, which represents more than 800 schools, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday claiming UC admissions officials have refused to certify high school science courses that use textbooks challenging Darwin's theory of evolution. Other rejected courses include "Christianity's Influence in American History."

According to the lawsuit, the Calvary Chapel Christian School in Murrieta was told its courses were rejected because they use textbooks printed by two Christian publishers, Bob Jones University Press and A Beka Books.

Wendell E. Bird, a lawyer for the association, said the policy violates the rights of students and religious schools.

"A threat to one religion is a threat to all," he said.

[Here are some actual excerpts from the textbook in question:

(p 10) When man looks at a statement, whether based on repeated observations, a hunch, logic, or even faith, it must fit into one of four catagories:

1. Revealed Truth: that which is revelated in Scripture, whether or not man has scientifically proved it. If it is in the Bible, it is already true without requiring additional proof.
[...]
3. Fallacy: that which contradicts God's revealed truth, no matter how scientific, how commonly believed, or how apparently workable or logical it may seem; or that which is contradicted by scientific evidence.

(p 11, a short quiz) Classify the following statements as either (a) part of revealed truth, (b) possibly part of unrevealed truth, or (c) fallacy, according to how God views truth.
(1) Man evolved from apes. [The answer is C by the way.]

(p 27) God created humans and all other organisms with the ability to reproduce after their own kind (Gen 1:12, 21, 25, 28); therefore, humans reproduce humans, oak trees reproduce oak trees, and cats reproduce cats. The idea that all life forms descended from a common ancestor cell that originated from nonliving chemicals is absurd.

Jeeezus! No wonder they rejected this "science" textbook.]
