"Intelligent Designers" Tossed Out in PA, But…
Intelligent voters in Dover, PA threw out the school board that has been pushing the scientifically illegitimate conjecture of "intelligent design" as a rival to evolutionary biology.
In less happy "intelligent design" news, the Kansas State Board of Education voted 6 to 4 to set "science" standards that suggest that there are substantial doubts about evolutionary biology. For instance, the new standards allege a "lack of adequate natural explanations for the genetic code." As if the moral equivalent of saying "poof, make the genetic code" is an "adequate" explanation.
The good news in Kansas is that the state's voters will have a chance to follow the inspiring example of the citizens of Dover next year.
