Dear blowfish:

Occam's rasor, a standard tool of both logic and science, would preclude such a ridiculous scenario. You are using a time-honored trick of sophistry known as "poisoning the well."

Not at all. They've already introduced mysticism into biology classes, and attempted to loosen the definition of what constitutes science to fit their theological goals. All I'm doing is slightly exaggerating their stance to include chemistry, to help illustrate how absurd their position is.

The Kansas Board of Education (like the conspiracy nuts) evidently believes that "Occam's razor" is the brand name of box cutter used by the 9-11 hijackers.
