I just finished reading the decision. It is a TOTAL
victory for science over pseudo-science. Long
about page 60 it even says that science must
consider only natural, and not supernatural,
explanations. (DUH!) This will surely be applied
to the Kansas state school board, which has
tried to redefine science to include the supernatural.

This decision is that it is not the result of an
"activist judge." This decision is based totally
on president, not activism.

NOW, if we can only get the fossil fool pseudo
scientists into court!

You forget what rules the Supreme court these days!

So, will the new, more conservative Supreme Court rule that teaching religion
in public schools is constitutional, or will they rule that science is a form
of religion and thus should NOT be taught in public schools?? Given that the
Orientals are already producing an order of magnitude more engineers and
scientists than the U.S., that last option would sink U.S. science.

That was duscussed on Book TV Last week by Richard Florida! He said
such as Intelligent design is creating and environment that is not
conducive to keeping Grad studens in the US! They are returning to
Such as India and South Korea to further their careers! The US Grad
schools are dependent on foreign students anymore since we don't
produce the students to fill them anymore!

The Flight of the Creative Class: The New Global Competition for Talent
Richard Florida
Description: Economics professor Richard Florida writes that America
needs to facilitate the emigration of talented artists, scientists,
doctors, and other industry-leading thinkers so that their talents are
realized in America, as opposed to countries abroad. This is the topic
of his new book, "The Flight of the Creative Class: The New Global
Competition for Talent." In it, the author makes the case that shifting
societal values, the rising costs of urban living throughout America,
and the enthusiasm displayed by those countries eager to foster a
creative environment for the talented, have changed America's role in
the global competition for talent.

Author Bio: Richard Florida is also the author of "Rise of the Creative
Class," Washington Monthly's 2002 political book of the year. He is
currently a public policy professor at George Mason University and a
Senior Fellow with the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC.

Publisher: HarperCollins 10 E 53 Street, 20th Floor New York, NY 10022

If science is a religion, can I claim to be a preacher and call my house a
"temple of science" and then stop paying property taxes, like a Christian
Church? I'd like to participate in all those other non-profit benifits,
just like the Baptists and the Catholics. This could get fun, unless the
Fundi's go on a "Sci-witch hunt" rampage.

Why not? Don't we have the "Church of Scientology"?
