I said science "had the reputation" of logic. Not that the reputation was strictly true.
When I was a kid, "science" was held up as an icon. It was "the future", and that future was glorious. We were going to progress, because we followed science.
Now that's BS in truth, but it was science's reputation.
But now Kansas is sealing the fate of science. The unwashed masses are taking it over and voting on what they feel science should be.
I think we all lose from this.
I think so as well.
I keep wondering why, if science has such a bad reputation, ID wants ot piggyback on the reputation of science.
If there is a better way of finding truth than through the methods established by science.
The textbook thing is interesting. My son took advanced biology in a public school from a teacher who hated all textbooks and who wrote his own. He must have been competent because all his students passed the AP exam with 4s and 5s.
