"Intelligent Falling" Gaining Momentum
Pharyngula pointed me to an article (guess the source after you read it) about another scientific theory under attack:
KANSAS CITY, KS — As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state.

With the recent attention given to the "Intelligent Design" theory of the origin of life coupled with the newly-established "Intelligent Falling" theory, I fear that our country will soon be replete with religious dogmatists whose aim is to attack the validity of sound science. Furthermore, I fear that some of these individuals will unite in solidarity, forming organizations with a mission of deception. Still further, if we are not careful the very people we entrust with preserving our way of life and upholding the tenants of the US Constitution may begin advocating such theories...
