(AP) Revisiting a topic that exposed Kansas to nationwide ridicule six years ago, the state Board of Education approved science standards for public schools Tuesday that cast doubt on the theory of evolution.
The board's 6-4 vote, expected for months, was a victory for intelligent design advocates who helped draft the standards. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power.
Critics of the proposed language charged that it was an attempt to inject creationism into public schools in violation of the separation between church and state.
The board's vote is likely to heap fresh national criticism on Kansas and cause many scientists to see the state as backward. Current state standards treat evolution as well-established — a view also held by national science groups

Ah, I never thought to check the date of signing up here on FR....lets see if he/she is going to reply to anyone, or just let the post stand, on its own, as an example of sheer stupidity...
How about the dinosaurs? Or do you think those are fabrications, too?
If you are fired, it will be their loss, but worth it. My hats off to you for not compromising what is true.
Sounds to me like the voters of Darby are as dumb as the monkeys they think they come from.
Normally people who try to come up with fabrications hit on at least one or two semi-controversial specimens. This may be the first time I've seen such a clean miss on all counts.
Not necessarily. They just don't like pseudoscience masquerading as science.....unless it's global warming, of course.
How about those fossils that were unearthed alongside human remains, which we have seen? How about those fossil imprints that were discovered with human imprints alongside them?
No, not neandethal remains or footprints. They were identified as human.
If you are truly concerned with unbias truth, answer those questions regarding Lucy, Cro-Magnon Man, and the like.
I've read a lot about ID. No pseudoscience at all, and every bit as logical or supported as that idiotic Dawinist crap.
Wanna show me?
BTW, dinosaurs aren't mentioned in the Bible. How come?
I substitute taught today for a biology teacher in NJ. They were in the middle of the Darwin/Evolution unit. The teacher left a big project for them about the giraffe neck, and how it came to be long via "survivial of the fittest. Anyway, I threw her plans in the rubbish bin and gave my own lecture. God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th. He took a rib from Adam to make woman. Many of the kids had never heard this before. I'll prob. get fired."
That would be appropriate. Your church would not let me teach about how birds evolved from dinosaurs. Fact.
Then save us all some time. Who was the intelligent designer?
Get a job teaching Sunday School. It doesn't pay, but that's where your so-called "education" belongs.
I'm afraid not, but that's a debate for another thread.
I must exit stage right for a time. I will try to send you those images, whether it's this evening or on another day.
Also, I will send you chapter and verse addressing "dinosaurs".
Good day.

Soon Kansas will have the finest education 19th century minds can provide.
Aircraft factories and commodities futures traders will move out to make way for the growth, high-income industries of buggy whip manufacture and production of burkahs for export to fellow theocracies.
