The Smirking Chimp blog put me on to a great piece by Randy Scholfield in the Witchita Eagle of May 06. He watched the Kansas Education Board's hearings on evolution:
Jonathan Wells... star ID witness, is (scratch, scratch) a Moonie who once wrote that it was partly the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's religious dogma that prompted him to pursue a science Ph.D. and set out to "devote my life to destroying Darwinism."
But he echoed the other witnesses in admitting that intelligent design was a "young theory" that wasn't ready for classrooms.
"Most scientists disagree with me," he said flatly of his evolution criticisms.
So why is Kansas listening to him for advice on the state science standards?
Under questioning, ID looked less and less like a theory that was ready for prime time.
