Next up on the Christian Jihad itinerary - Destroy math.
It was the Kansas School Board who voted for this, not the public in general. Last time the school board did this (6 years ago), the Kansas voters voted them out of office and the old standards were brought back. Come next year's school board election, I'm sure you'll see more of the same.
Now, when they teach intelligent design in the classroom, are they limited to a Christian divine being? I think that, as long as they are going to teach the kids intelligent design, they ought to also introduce the possibility that some other supreme being or beings is responsible. Greek gods anyone? 😀

I dont have much a problem with teaching creationism, ID or anything else right alongside evolution.
My preference would be....
explain the difference between biogenesis and evolution and teach it as such.
secondly, teach Creation, ID, whatever you want in a mandatory philosophy/religious studies class.
I dont think this is such a big deal as you guys make it out to be. Just another chance to bash the religious. The job of the education system is to teach people how to think for themselves and solve problems.... not what to believe is correct.

This isn't a problem...if ID and the like were taught OUTSIDE of a science class. In order to get ID being taught in science classes, Kansas went around to changing the definition of science. This definition makes science lose much of its rigor, as it allows for virtually anything to be an explanation of natural phenomena.
Just because a majority want something taught doesn't mean it's correct.

Im a mathematician by nature, not a scientist... so following the rules of proofs...
Nothing can ever be proven true... only false. You only prove false by counterexample.
So technically he is correct. Darwinism cannot ever be proven true, but it will stand until it is eventually (possibly) proven false.

so if you can't prove God exists, he will eventually be proven not to exist?
