Risking the kind of nationwide ridicule it faced six years ago, the Kansas Board of Education approved new public-school science standards Tuesday that cast doubt on the theory of evolution.
The 6-4 vote was a victory for “intelligent design” advocates who helped draft the standards. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power.
Critics of the new language charged that it was an attempt to inject God and creationism into public schools, in violation of the constitutional ban on state establishment of religion.
Barely has the case in Dover been completed (except for the final decision) and we have another one ...
In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena.
Kind of says it all doesn't it? Can't play within the rules, change the rules?
This is rather blatant admission that ID is NOT science if they have to change the definition to make it fit.
Sheesh.
