Arkcity.net: Community - ID advocate: Scientists to get irrational 10/28/05:
"The debate over evolution flared again Thursday, first with criticism from the National Academy of Sciences and National Science Teachers Association. The groups said standards being considered by the State Board of Education, which express skepticism of evolution, would confuse and mislead students about the theory.
Hours later, a student group at Washburn University in Topeka welcomed Phillip Johnson, a retired University of California law professor who sometimes is called the father of the intelligent-design movement now questioning evolutionary theory.
''This is very scary to the Mandarins of science,'' he told about 75 people attending the Christian Challenge meeting at a local church's community building. ''There's been a panicky and hysterical response to this, some of which you've seen in your state recently.''"
