So, the Kansas board of education is thinking changes should be implimented that don't teach kids the evolution specifically posited by Darwin and most scientists. We inadvertantly teach children the only thing that matters is the kind of evidence supported by scientific observation, and we indirectly tell them anything spiritual or religious is mere dogmatism. We give them textbooks that make claims such as no evidence refutes evolution as posited by Darwin, as if scientists are the dictators of reality. When someone wants to change this, the scientific community is suddenly in an uproar, they threaten with legal action, refuse the use of textbooks, make news statements designed to embarrass the people who believe in God, and atheists support scientists to further eliminate all beliefs that are not supported by the scientific method. Is this not as extremist as religious fanatics who claim only the bible tells the "true" story? Isn't it radical empiricism vs. religious fanaticism?
