Kansas Redefines What "Science" Is

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051108/ap_on_re_us/evolution_debate

I don't really care to get into the ID in school debate, but why was there a need to redefine what science is?

 

to allow for the discussion of ID.

 

It just seems like if you have to go and rewrite the definition of science, you're sort of admitting that ID wasn't science...

 

It wasn't based on that definition - 'natural' is the keyword.



This place and everything around us was created by 'supernatural' processes.

 

But that's my point, science has never been about the supernatural.

 

Not so sure I agree with KS here. Obviously, science is about the natural world. But science is not the only way to ascertain truth, which is where this whole debate gets into.

 

as well.. I can see it now.. 4+4= whatever God wants it to dangit. Seriously this belongs in Sunday School not Public School...

 

Because religious freaks weren't satisfied that their magic stories weren't considered science. Now they are! Whoopeeeeeeee!

Before scientific inquiry, people thought lightening was supernatural.

 

this reminds me of an article from the onion http://www.theonion.com/content/node/39512

 

That is a very funny article. Thanks for reminding me of it
