Eight of the nine school board members up for re-election (all Republicans, all voting in favor of intelligent design) were ousted by voters and replaced with Democratic candidates.
I take this quote from the CNN article today:
Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by some kind of higher force. The statement read to students says Charles Darwin's theory is "not a fact" and has inexplicable "gaps.
Yes, you radical evangelicals.... theory is theory. It is never fact. Any scientist will tell you that there is no absolute truth or fact, just correlations and relationships. (and if there are any scientists out there that will tell me I am wrong, forgive me I am remembering 11th grade Chemistry with Mr. Pike) Just like intelligent design is not a fact, it's a theory. THEORY! In all honesty, I don't think we know what the hell happened, but there is a lot more data to back up evolution, verus a diety creating something in a wink. Separate your church from our state, and teach what you want at home. You have every right to believe it. Heck, you may be right... but until I see it, I am going with the more pausible theory.
Sorry, the victory of NO on 1 has me all high like a 5 year old on a grape Pixi stick. Hurrah!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "More like Intelligence Declines!"
