Kansas Monkey Trial

Not technically a trial, just a public shaming of Darwin's theory. Seems that all of the scientists that have a qualm with any little portion of evolution theory or related theory get to come and take a whack at the theory.

Oddly, there are three Kansas board of education members who will be hearing the "evidence." Though I'm uncertain as to what makes them qualified to make the judgment. Not to mention that the scientists that support evolution theory are refusing to participate seeing this whole 'debate' as being clearly rigged against them. To ensure a truthful and realistic result, you'd think that they'd require both sides be debated. Nice that they aren't trying to get some balanced debate. Hell, they don't want debate, they want a trial with an assured outcome.

I'd also like to know why "Intelligent Design" theory isn't being given the same level of debate. I suppose if you desire a certain outcome, there is no reason to actually debate.
