Panel tones down evolution language in Kansas

Diane Carroll of the Kansas City Star reports on a committee meeting drafting science standards for the state of Kansas.

The commentary speaks about some scientific materialists who want ID taught in schools to reveal that ID is a religion.

The most telling line from the commentary is "Francis Crick’s 'Directed Panspermia', and Gould’s 'Punctuated Equilibria' come to mind. Why would these diverse, and in some cases, strange theories be presented if classic Darwinian evolution was a “lock”?"
