Students in Louisiana will still continue to be taught how God created Earth and mankind as told in the Holy Bible's Book of Genesis, thanks to the effort of some state senators who rejected the proposed repeal of an existing law that requires equal lessons on Creation and evolution.

Democratic Senator John Milkovich was among the senators who stood up that Louisiana students should continue to learn about Creation, saying more and more pieces of scientific evidence are emerging that show how the Earth indeed came from a Divine Being.

"Are you aware that there is an abundance of recent science that actually confirms the Genesis account of creation?" Milkovich told the Senate committee deliberating on whether or not the "Balanced Treatment for Creation Science and Evolution Science Act" should already be scrapped.

"[S]cientific research and developments and advances in the last 100 years, particularly in the last 50, 20, 10 years have validated the biblical story of creation by archaeological discoveries of civilisations in the Mideast that secularists said did not exist and further archaeological research determines are true," he added, as quoted by Christian News.

Milkovich and three other Republican senators—Beth Mizell, Mike Walsworth, and Mack White—actually defied a Supreme Court ruling in 1987 when they voted to retain the law on equal lessons on Creation and evolution.

The top court already ruled over two decades ago that this legislation is unenforceable. The law was also deemed as unconstitutional because it was supposedly designed "to advance the religious viewpoint that a supernatural being created humankind."

Republican Senator Dan Claitor subscribed to this view, prompting him to initiate the repeal of the law. He was, however, outnumbered by his colleagues who wanted it retained.

"I'm not asking you to give up your belief in God," Claitor said during the Senate Education Committee hearing on the controversial law. "I'm not asking you to get in bed with the devil. I'm asking you to follow your oath to follow the Constitution."
