"Holy" Crap
Kansas school board redefines science
I cannot believe this crap! This is insulting to the science and an embarrassment to our country. This makes me feel like all the red states (including Missouri) are going back into the stone age. I cannot believe any educated person would think that this is a good idea. This is just being ignorant of the world we live in. This also gives Christianity a awful name. People who ignore science because of God are ignoring the world that they are saying God created. These are the people that pick and choose parts of the bible and ignore the rest of it. Take this for an example:
Supporters of the standards said they will promote academic freedom. "It gets rid of a lot of dogma that's being taught in the classroom today," said board member John Bacon, an Olathe Republican
Is science dead in the republican party?
How many republicans believe this?
God is about faith and science is about proof?
Kansas Rednecks!

CNN has a poll about this: Do you think intelligent design should be taught alongside evolution in schools?
Of the 45339 votes cast, 27% or
12100 votes agreed that ID should be taught with evolution.
I guess a lot of people would disagree with you Jon.
ID makes a fine philosophy. I know the ID people want to call it a science, since science = right and they want to be right. Beliefs can't be judged in the same way the equation 1 + 1 = 2 can be judged though. Calling a belief science is like me wanting to claim a duck is a swan by gluing white feathers to it.
I wish people would focus on things like feeding the hungry or fighting poverty rather than trying to force a gilded version of creation down 13 year-olds throats.

Cy,
27% is not a lot of people agreeing with me. I wish people would focus on more important things in the world as well. But that would require some people to think outside themselves.
Kansas may be going to hell, but you've got to admit there was good news from Pennsylvania, where all the ID spouting folks were tossed off the school board by voters. I love what Joel Achenbach had to say about this: "Four billion years of evolution has apparently resulted in a creature that, at least in Pennsylvania, knows the difference between science and religion."
