Signs of Anti-Creationist Sanity in Kansas
In the race for the Kansas State Board of Education, voters have dealt a crushing blow to creationist candidate Alan Detrich: Conservatives Leading Half of School Board Races.
In the 4th District, with 85 percent reporting, conservative Bob Meissner of Topeka, had 76 percent against Alan Detrich, of Lawrence.
In 2005, Detrich explained his views on evolution to the Lawrence Journal-World: Creationist plans run for education board.
A fossil hunter who supports intelligent design will run for the Kansas State Board of Education seat now held by a defender of evolution.
“These evolutionists are saying that Jesus was half-chimpanzee, so was Mohammed and Buddha,” said Alan Detrich, a 58-year-old Lawrence Republican who takes classes at Kansas University. “I don’t think that’s right.” …
Detrich said he was convinced that life is too complex to be the product of evolution, and that those beliefs will be the centerpiece of his three-year campaign.
“I want to get the question out, not the answer, but the question out,” he said. “The question is the story of the rock and the clock. If you find a rock in a field, no big deal. If you find a clock in a field, you look around for who created it.
“Did we just appear like the rock? Or did it take intelligent design to make us?” Detrich asked. “I think it took intelligent design to make us.”
Here’s Detrich’s web site, with more of the concepts he wanted to teach Kansas schoolchildren: Spear of Creation.
