It isn’t really telling. Believe it or not, the Post Gazette, is the more liberal paper of the region. If this was in the Tribune Review, I might take that seriously, but the person conducting the survey clearly wanted to see how people responded to BOTH intelligent design AND creationism.

This is important because some science teachers could say that they don’t teach creationism, but are for intelligent design. This would be important data because then you could combine those two categories and get the actual figure for creationist science teachers. However, they dropped the ball by not releasing the actual survey results and just released a sloppy chart with little explanation.

I’m confused. What does the fact that a paper is “liberal” have to do with a discussion about science?
