![]() ![]() Bacon and other members of the Board believed the theory of evolution was “unproven,” and that intelligent design, although based on improvable hypotheses, was a better fit for the science curriculum of Kansas. “ gets rid of a lot of dogma that’s being taught in the classroom today,” said board member John Bacon, a Republican, and a believer in intelligent design. Starting in 2005, after a 6-4 vote of the Board of Education, Kansas schools began teaching scientific theories based not only on direct observation and experimentation, but also on “logical argument and theory building.” In other words, faith. The solution? Change the definition of science. The problem? Intelligent design isn’t science-based – you can’t prove or disprove it – making it a tough sell for inclusion in a science class. They wanted equal time given in the classroom to alternate theories, namely intelligent design. For years, Kansas schools had been teaching the science-based theory of evolution, filling the heads of little Kansans with Darwin’s concept of the origin of the species, and some lawmakers, fed up with this travesty against the teachings of The Bible, had had enough. In 2005, the Kansas Board of Education was at a crossroads. It’s also known as “intelligent design,” and as far as some adherents are concerned, it should replace the chapters in science textbooks about evolution. This is the faith-based theory of Creationism in a nut shell. And then the rest of us issued forth from their loins. We were created out of whole cloth, from clay, in the form of Adam, the first man. ![]() Got it? Also, humans did not evolve from an ape-like ancestor. So, the Earth is really 6,000 years old instead of 4.5 billion and there were no dinosaurs. Fairness isn’t a priority when you’re omnipotent. Not fair, perhaps, but we’re talking about the same guy who flooded the Earth, wiping it clean in order to start over, and leveled an entire city because a few bad apples were sexual deviants. Do you believe in dinosaurs and not God? Gotcha! You’re going to hell. ![]() What you saw were clever fakes put in the ground by God to give you a plausible reason to doubt his existence. Not according to the adherents of faith-based beliefs. You may think you’ve seen dinosaur fossils, but you didn’t. ![]()
