What the author believes in, based on the bill he has sponsored, is clearly not the scientific method.
What? Are you suggesting that Rep. Rick Brattin being a fine upstanding right-wing conservative republican christian would not be an adherent of the scientific method?
A member of a deeply evangelical church charged "to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ," certainly gives one some idea of the "designer" he had in mind when he wrote the bill in question.
Now if he is to live his mission as his beliefs direct then he most certainly must believe in the science of Intelligent Design if he is to have it evangelized into the science classroom. You can't believe in a "science" without believing in the very "method" upon which all science rests.
From his site, "He stands firm on conservative values and faith and will never waiver on these principles."
Certainly a man so committed, so motivated, to improving the state's science curriculum (while at the same time performing his ultimate evangelical mission for his faith by witnessing ID to students of science) must be deeply devoted to all science and the scientific method.
Finally, I would appreciate you not biting me.
