Default ID out of Kansas

Teaching of Intelligent Design in science curriculum got thrown out of the window in Kansas. Finally.

http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi...ull/2007/214/1

One of the person who had his ass handed to him grumbled, "What they've done is systematically delete any information that might be critical of evolution. This goes against the very mission of public education."

I won't be surprised if on the list of criticisms was the oh-so-genius quote - 'If humans evolved from monkeys, why do we still have monkeys today?' Its about bloody time that science classes get their due respect instead of having to fend against such ridiculous whiners.

When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I wonder how long it will last until they teach Creationism again?

At least Creationism would be the easiest subject in the curriculum.

"Welcome to Creation Science. In the Beginning, God created the Earth and the Heavens and on the seventh day He rested. See you at the exam." - Bill Hicks

Cheers,

To spend time with his girlfriend, but then his wife had her turned into a cow.

Oh, wait. Wrong god. Sorry.
