McLeroy's amendments [at the last voting session] included adding a requirement that students analyze and evaluate the insufficiencies of the theory of common ancestry to explain gaps in the fossil record.
He has succeeded in rewriting the state's definition of science as it pertains to teaching to require "testable explanations" of nature. McLeroy said the change should allow the questioning of all scientific explanations and opens the door to the possibility that the universe was created by God. But he wants more.
McLeroy says he intends to pitch another idea that he says should be taught in public schools: the insufficiency of natural selection to explain the complexity of cells.
Even if he keeps saying he doesn't want to teach religion in science classes, at least give McLeroy some credit for being honest about his motive being to promote the possibility of God and creationism. If the DI had any integrity at all, it would be working feverishly against any such amendment. Any bets on whether it will be?
