The Missouri legislature will consider a bill this session requiring “equal treatment of science instruction regarding evolution and intelligent design”.

Talk about muddy thinking. Try this “Hypothesis”, a scientific theory reflecting a minority of scientific opinion which may lack acceptance because it is a new idea, contains faulty logic, lacks supporting data, has significant amounts of conflicting data, or is philosophically unpopular.

The bill’s list of definitions for some reason singles out “Extrapolated radiometric data” for special treatment, suggesting a young-Earth creationist hand on or near the tiller, which is almost surely the kiss of death for these guys.
