[applause]

Well, Don,

you've had sort of

a painful experience

here at the ballot box.

Tell me what you're gonna do

from here on.

Well, you win some,

you lose some.

I lost my first key vote,

... was last...

A year ago may,

when I didn't get confirmed

as chairman.

And at the time,

I was really disappointed.

Well, guess what that

opened the door for.

It opened a opportunity to lead

on making a lot of amendments

in the social studies.

And frankly,

I can see that it was

very, kind of maybe, providential

that I was not

the Chairman of the Board

for the social studies.

After all of these years

of this political infighting,

what's the answer?

Can Texas ever come

into the 21st century

with any degree of rationality

and any hope for

re-instituting decent education

for our kids?

That will happen long after

my grandchildren have

passed away,

I'm afraid.

But I am not an eternal optimist.

Lord, we pray for guidance

for this meeting.

We pray for wisdom from You.

And, Lord, we thank You

that You have brought us

to this place.

In Jesus' name, amen.

I ran a very good campaign.

I lost a very close vote

to a very strong opponent.

And it's only a two-year term

that was up for battle

that I lost.

And we're gonna have

all seats up for grabs

at the next election,

which is less than

two years away.

Voters in Texas

have to become more aware

of what's going into

our classrooms.

This is about the content

of what kids

in Texas public schools learn

from age 5 to 18.

It will change

the face of our state

for decades to come; it matters.

And Texas voters

need to understand the issues,

know more

about these candidates.

And we would have a very different

State Board of Education

if that were true.

The evolutionary science,

in which I participate,

never asks the question

of the origin of life.

Mainly because

we simply don't know.

And trying to give the answer

is like trying to write

a fairy tale.

And so when people ask me,

"how do you explain

the origin of life?"

I simply say,

"I don't know.

How do you explain it?"

In the end,

I think he is gradually

gonna have to recognize,

when we focus on the issues

of the origin of life

and ultimately the inclusion

of the code in life,

that there's no way

that that could randomly happen.

Well, I mean, the origin of life

is an incredible mystery,

But it's also

an incredible mystery,

because we were sitting

under this beautiful tree,

...this ancient oak tree

that's been here for...

I don't know how many...

hundreds of years.

And according to the books,

the evolution books,

we share a common ancestor

with that tree

way back in time.

The first life first appeared,

origin of life,

and then somehow it branched off.

All goes back to original life.

And they have no explanation.
