Conservatives on the State Board of Education have thrown the state back into the emotional debate over evolution as they consider science standards for statewide testing.
I can almost see the test. There are all these questions on the causality of the universe and of the history of the Earth. "The Earth was formed: a) 6000 years ago; b) 60,000 years ago; c) 600,000 years ago; d) 6 million years ago; e) 6 billion years ago?" The only correct response would be A of course, because the other dates are not representative of correlational "theories." Of course a vastly superior way to ask this question would be: "The Earth was formed: a) 6000 years ago; b) 600,000 eons ago; c) Heisenberg's theorum's input data descriptors; d) the unfolding of millions upon millions of aeons; e) 4.3 billion years ago?" Naturally all of these responses are correct, so therefore they must be a substantively better one, one that matches the vast majority of the evidence available-- E.
Now which of these questions do you suppose is most likely to show up on the Kansas statewide achievement testing for science in the public schools??
