TOPEKA, Kan. - Critics of evolution won a big victory with the approval of new public school science standards that cast doubt on Darwinism.
The standards were approved Tuesday by the Kansas Board of Education on a 6-4 vote that was lauded by 'intelligent design' advocates, who helped draft them. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power.
The vote came amid an increasingly rancorous national debate on teaching evolution. In Pennsylvania on Tuesday, voters punished Dover school board members who backed a statement on intelligent design being read in biology class, ousting eight Republicans and replacing them with Democrats who want the concept stripped from the science curriculum."
