Many Arkansas candidates say intelligent design in schools is OK

The Kansas City Star picked up on this story about Arkansas candidate's tolerance of ID being taught in the schools.

Most Republican candidates in Arkansas told the newspaper that teachers shouldn't be required to teach intelligent design - but that "academic freedom" should allow instructors to address the subject in class.

This seems reasonable and in line with a liberal view of education.

Tackling evolution in Colorado

Vail resident Dr. Gene Bammel, a retired philosophy professor, has been sparring in the commentary pages of the Vail Daily News with local preacher and occasional columnist Bob Branden, whose fundamentalist views on evolution have generated scores of letters and comments.

Bammel will be the featured speaker at a Vail Symposium "Hot Topics" series with a talk labeled "Darwin in the 21st Century: the Intelligent Design Debate."

Bammel says, "there's an aggregate of scientists who say they're in the business to produce evidence, and who say, as scientists, that they're limited by natural and physical explanations of how the world operates."
