A rollercoaster week for Science & Reason.

By thecroz - Posted on 11 November 2005

The good news: In Pennsylvania, "voters came down hard Tuesday on school board members who backed a statement on intelligent design..." Thank god.

The bad news: "Yesterday the Kansas Board of Education voted 6-to-4 to allow anti-Evolution statements to be provided to students...In a stunning move, the board literally redefined science to include...the metaphysical." Adaption like that sorta proves evolution, doesn't it?

And the wholly unexpected: Cardinal Paul Poupard from the Vatican said, "The faithful have the obligation to listen to that which secular modern science has to offer..." Wow. It's almost enough to reinstill my faith. Almost.
