Science is in deep doo doo in Kansas, people. According to this article, "Among the most controversial changes was a redefinition of science itself so that it is not explicitly limited to natural explanations."

With a whole lot of pushing, I might buy into the argument that alternate religious explanations be discussed in regards to Darwin's theory or evolution. If each theory is presented as what it is, ie. Darwin's is science and Creationism is Religion, I might (or might not) be able to accept this nonsense. But Kansas has actually gone a step further by changing the defininition of science to include faith-based explanations!

Geez. I thought we were living in the 21st century. It seems I
am mistaken.
