World Magazine reports that in Kansas, eight scientists and educators presented their case to change the Kansas Science Standards for the Board of Education there. What they want is when origins science is presented in the class room that objectivity be used when presenting the arguments for both evolution and intelligent design to the students.
Here's the text for the arguments they made. This is the opening statement:
“The very power of [methodological naturalism] depends on the fact that [teachers] are dealing with a [student]: a [student] who thinks he is ‘doing’ his [‘Science’] and has no notion that ethics, theology and politics are all at stake. It is not a theory they put into [the student’s] mind, but an assumption, which ten years hence, its origin forgotten and its presence unconscious, will condition [the student] to take one side in a controversy which [the student] has never recognized as a controversy at all.”
What do you think of it?
