Scopes revisited

Ok, its time to read "Whats the Matter with Kansas" by Thomas Frank.

TOPEKA, Kan., May 5 -- Debating a question that the scientific establishment considers settled, Kansas education authorities put evolutionary theory on trial Thursday in a hearing marked by sharp exchanges over Earth's origins and what students should be taught in science class.

Scientists who support the idea of intelligent design, a set of assumptions that challenges established scientific thinking, told an approving Kansas State Board of Education subcommittee that modern Darwinian theory relies too much on unproven reasoning. Gaps in the science, they argued, leave open the possibility that a creator, or an unidentified "designing mind," is responsible for earthly development.

More from the Washington Post.....

Modern Darwinian theory relies on unproven reasoning and creationism doesn't????

It's been a while since I studies Darwin, but I believe a great deal of Darwin's theory is based on OBSERVATION. And there's no disputing the fossil record.

Personally, I like the idea that God got the ball rolling on the creation of the universe, the earth and its inhabitants, through scientific means. But the God part of that belief system is only my personal belief and should not be imposed on others. The God part is NOT SCIENCE, it is theology. It is based on FAITH, not observation and does not belong in a science class.
