TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – The Kansas state Board of Education on Tuesday repealed science guidelines questioning evolution that had made the state an object of ridicule.
The new guidelines reflect mainstream scientific views of evolution and represent a political defeat for advocates of “intelligent design,” who had helped write the standards that are being jettisoned.

The board on Tuesday removed language suggesting that key evolutionary concepts – such as a common origin for all life on Earth and change in species creating new ones – were controversial and being challenged by new research. Also approved was a new definition of science, specifically limiting it to the search for natural explanations of what is observed in the universe.
Interesting that we can hold a theory as fact.

Christian sabotage????mmmmm
Second try. People like edgar (above) need to get an education. A scientific theory isn’t like a legal theory — which has nothing to do with facts. In science everything can be changed. There are no absolute truths. That means EVERYTHING is a theory. It’s all subject to change when better knowledge becomes available. That way science, unlike law, is capable of change. I give up. Blind typing sucks!!!!!
