New SAT Questions Replace Evolution with Creation
http://swiftreport.blogs.com/news/2004/12/new_sat_questio.html
Students attending school in districts that have phased out the teaching of evolution will no longer be forced to answer SAT questions about the controversial theory. Instead, they'll answer questions about the six days in which God created the earth and the great flood that took place 4,300 years ago.

Well, it's an equally non-utilitarian question. So what!

The problem here is the Sumerian stories about "the Great Flood" predate that narrow, sectarian accounting of just how old the Bible is, or how long it's been since Creation.

I don't really care what kind of question is asked about things without the sort of evidence that can be reproduced in an independent laboratory! Evolution and Creationism fall into the same category in that regard.

Besides, SAT should be asking questions more along the lines of what a future lawyer might be expected to know. We import our scientists and engineers, but the lawyers are our specialty. May they live long and prosper, eh?! Let's hope "W" is successful in Iraq. They can use some of our legal talent as an import item!
