Smarter Than Monkeys?

Salon's Michelle Goldberg writes a rather pessimistic article about how the Dover PA school board decided to include the teaching of "creation science" in its schools. Only I guess they're calling it "intelligent design" now...whatever.

Whatever they choose to call it, it ain't science. Science means that you have a theory based on a sound, experimentally tested hypothesis. How exactly do you test "creation science"? How do you prove or disprove it? By flipping a bible to see if it lands heads or tails?

Faith-based science isn't science. But maybe they don't believe in that either.
