On the way back from lunch, I heard Paul Harvey
mention on the radio that "intelligent design"
was approved to be taught at some Pennsyvlania
secondary school. The only limitation was of
just some "unspecified higher power".

Subject: The YECs continue

The YECs are alive and well.

See the following:

Calling evolution "a theory in crisis," more than two dozen scientists
have
come to the defense of the Cobb County, Ga., Board of Education. The
board
voted in 2002 to require that biology books carry a sticker warning
students that evolution "is a theory, not a fact."

A San Antonio Express-News editorial marvels over the continuing debate
about evolution in science textbooks -- 79 years after William Jennings
Bryan prosecuted John Scopes for teaching evolutionary theory in a
Tennessee classroom.
