New Bill to Put Texas Creationists Under the Microscope

Just read an interesting quote:


You shouldn’t get the impression that the Neo-Darwinism synthesis is a final theory that must be accepted without reservation and that cannot be modified. Religious dogma may have that character, but scientific theories do not. Science progresses because scientists commonly question generally accepted premises and test them by new, ever more accurate methods of observation and experimentation. If scientific ideas ever become dogmatic, then no new discoveries could be made.

But here’s my challenge. Who do you think wrote this?

a. A PhD scientist who supports creationism
b. A staunch PhD evolutionist
c. A PhD scientist in support of Intelligent Design
d. A statement issued by the Texas Board of Education
e. None of the above

Do you think statements like this help or hurt science education in Texas?
