"This is a great day for education," said Kansas Board of Education member Steve Abrams. "This absolutely raises science standards. I have no doubt about it — positively no doubt about it whatsoever."
Not all board members agreed. "I think this is a sad day," said another member, Carol Rupe, "not only for Kansas kids, but for Kansas."

Emphasis mine. That's why it's not science, you can't just make up the definition of the words you like to suit yourself. IDiots crave the credibilty of the word science. But since their predefined conclusions do not conform to the scientific method, they just hijack the word.
Spreading FUD by teaching the (entirely self generated) "controversy", they kick up enough dust to redraw the lines. This is no different than identity theft. If someone used your name and personal information to their own personal benefit that they otherwise would not have been able to get, you'd feel violated. The ID movement's misdirection of "teaching the controversy" and "redefining the word science" (excuse me, I just have to laugh--like when our kids were little and they'd dress up in our clothes, big shoes, coats that hung to the floor, tromping around pretending to be grownups...please. It's cute when it's your kid, but it's frightening when it's your kids' educators.)...It's just plain fraud.
Fear based fraud. How can you be so insecure that your God can't handle a seemingly complicated bankshot like evolution. There are **lots** of things going on in the world that I don't understand. That doesn't mean that God put a little cosmic backspin on the ball just to confuse poor li'l ol' me. Stop trivializing God. If you can't understand it means He couldn't have done it that way? I don't find God and evolution incompatible, much less mutually exclusive. Hmm. Maybe my God's just more talented than theirs.
