I hesitate to even remotely associate the concept of Creationism “intelligent design” with science, but it seems some folks in Kansas can’t leave well enough alone. Choice quote from the article:
Stephen Meyer, a senior fellow at the Seattle-based Discovery Institute, which supports intelligent design, said changing the schools’ definition of science would avoid freezing out questions about how life arose and developed on Earth.
The current definition is “not innocuous,” Meyer said. “It’s not neutral. It’s actually taking sides.”
Yeah, Steve, that’s right. It’s taking sides. It’s taking the side of science, which is by definition neutral, rather than the side of one narrow view of theology, which is by definition the opposite of neutral.
Side note: this is not the first time I’ve noted what crackpots the Discovery Institute folks are. “Discovery,” indeed. How about you guys discover a better way to waste public resources?
