A Seattle-based research group that advocates intelligent design said today it will campaign to educate Kansans that the science standards approved by the State Board of Education are sound.
“Kansas citizens need to have accurate information about what the science standards do,” said John West, associate director of the Center for Science & Culture for Discovery Institute.
West said the group will start an information campaign over the Internet immediately and possibly start a radio campaign. He declined to say how much the center would spend.
The decision puts the Discovery Institute in the center of hotly-contested State Board of Education school board races.
The board’s 6-4 decision to approve science standards that question evolution has been a major issue in the five board places that are up for grabs this year. The science standards are used as guidelines to what students learn in Kansas public schools.
Mainstream scientists have said the standards criticize evolution in a way that could introduce intelligent design in science classrooms. Intelligent design posits there was a master force that designed life.
Nothing much except that you are announcing an intention to be duplicitous.
I said I am going there to find out what is going on there...If you have a problem with that, tough...
Well, I'm not stopping you. I merely point out your intent to be duplicitous. It is much easier to be straight-forward and represent yourself as who you really are. But hey, you are you.
Yes, I am me, thankfully, and I will do as I deem appropriate...
Yep, so did Jeffrey Dahmer, and see where it got him.
Ah, nice reference...says nothing about me, and tons about you and where your mind is wandering...
Ah, but it does say lots about you, as does your answer. Remember you both did what you deemed appropriate.
Evolution isn't random.
What you said, reflects very poorly on you..enough said...
That, coming from someone duplicitous is, well, "understandable". No matter what example I would have chosen to contrast/compare, I daresay, you would have come up with the same final statement.
So did Jesus Christ. What, precisely, is your point?
You do love to drone on, dont you?...you are, underwhelming...
You must believe in the Da Vinci code.
Arent you the clever one, with your little bitty pics...
Never even read it.
They want to take real science and "replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions."
See The Wedge Strategy for details.
Paging Nehemiah Scudder. Pick up the white courtesy telephone please.
I ain't looking for a fight, despite what my resume may say.
You need to do a bit more homework on the matter.
We can tangle later!
Lots of big words there.
Could you like narrow it down for me?
I like succinctness, and stuff.
