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

A commentary, by Robert Meyers, appears on the website TheRealityCheck.
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”?"

A blogger from New England offers his intelligent reasoning.
We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design. We think these concepts have real potential to generate insights about our reality that are being drowned out by political advocacy from both sides. We hope this blog will provide a small voice that helps rectify this situation.
