It's true; the state of Kansas approved new science for public schools that cast a doubt on evolution. Maybe the students found science so boring they needed a better plot (lots of tall tales in the good book).
A year from now they'll be singing the new Kansas state anthem (a little tune from the "Wizard of Oz"): If I only had a brain.
Well, God gets his front row seat in that science class. The fundamentalists have won and the "medieval mindset" is now "in."
Face it, the book of Genesis got an upgrade into scientific fact. Creationism and public schools are married now (fuck the separation between church and state that's so passe). Evangelicals should read the chapter that covers protecting our planet from human activities that cause global warming.
Genesis 2:15 justified it this way: "The Lord God took man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." -- and so far humans are doing a bang up job.
Since I'm not in Kansas (with the retards) I will offer my view here. If there was a Designer for all this why did he create this place and then let it go hell, so to speak. Was hurricane Katrina a part of that wonderful design?
Intelligent Design(ers) need to take their message down the hall to a different classroom; because religion deals with issues of philosophy, and does not constitute science (far from).
EVOLUTION is knocking on our doorsteps, consider the recent hurricane season, earth quakes, and the deadly avian bird flu. -- things are changing fast and it looks like humans are just in the way. And it will be science (not a prayer to Jesus) that saves us from extinction.
There I said it, I only hope someone is intelligent enough to understand it.
Now, let's all say a prayer for the special people of Kansas. Amen.
