Kanas visits the Land of Oz

From today's New York Times:

"...In the statement, as well as in letters to the state board, the groups opposed the standards for singling out evolution as a controversial theory, and also for changing the definition of science itself so that it is not restricted to natural phenomena.

A third organization, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, echoed those concerns in a news release supporting the copyright denial, saying: "Students are ill-served by any effort in science classrooms to blur the distinction between science and other ways of knowing, including those concerned with the supernatural." "

wow. They are changing the definition of science to include God. Jesus, Mary 'n' Joseph !

I'm going back into my hole now.


Today's Song of the Day is "The Scientist" by Coldplay of their 2002 album "A Rush Of Blood To The Head."

Crazy Fact: I heard they're teaching Harry Potter in History, too.

Man, it's just crazy talk. They call it "Intelligent design", and it's just a tweak on evolution: We evolve, but the crazy alien in Heaven makes it all happen.

But can you imagine the class discussion?

"And then the fish was amphibious, because God thought he should populate the land part of Earth..."

"But why couldn't God just let the plants become animals, why does he have to give fish legs and so on?"

sheesh.

Back to your hole!
