"The Kansas school board's hearings on evolution weren't limited to how the theory should be taught in public schools. The board is considering redefining science itself. Advocates of "intelligent design" are pushing the board to reject a definition limiting science to natural explanations for what's observed in the world.
...
The proposed definition has outraged many scientists, who are frustrated that students could be discussing supernatural explanations for natural phenomena in their science classes.
'It's a completely unscientific way of looking at the world,' said Keith Miller, a Kansas State University geologist."
What the Hell is in the water over there, ferchrissakes? This bullshit about teaching science not being a "neutral" position is so over the top I can't help but wonder what's next on the conservative agenda. Any talk of replacing Kansas' hospitals with leech therapy? Will medical science be replaced with Bible passages at their medical schools? And who will be approved to teach the classes, the local minister?
