Kansas led into the wilderness. Jehovah says take 2 tablets...

After being absent from human affairs for some years (perhaps involved in some serious sparring with Allah over this Iraq mess), God got his mojo working again this spring by divinely inspiring the Kansas school board to teach His word - Creationism (or Intelligent Design, as the latest incarnation is ironically called). His word is called pseudoscience by the unfaithful, but that is merely a detail."Don't be so cynical, Guy", you say.And, I suppose you're right. God's plans remain pretzel twisted as always. Maybe Kansas is really supposed to be a place of simple, blissful, heedless ignorance, like Utah. Kansas don't need to think, says God. Now, I can see God's point. Kansas is, after all, mind-numbingly boring. So, work your magic with Kansas, God. I guess I can be convinced. Try out your divine plan on the Kansas School Board. If it works, all power to ya (a tautology really, he is omniscient and omnipotent after all).But, wait, can the hand of man be discerned in all this divine logic? Probably. For instance, does it make sense that Mr Way-Truth-and-Light is only revealing his presence by leaving tiny mysteries in the evolutionary record? Is God really trying to persuade the unbeliever by relying on some weasely argument about how evolution is really a red herring? What happened to the old God? My way or the highway (to hell)? If that God wanted us to believe, I bet he doesn't fart around with waiting for the Kansas school board to get through holding hearings. I think a burning bush or parted sea or two might get His message through our thick heads.The real answer is, of course, that God doesn't need a state curriculum or a state legislature to work his will. Only politicians would try to split hairs about what is belief and what is science - human politicians trying to get reelected. I suppose Kansas gets what it deserves if it votes the Creationists ... oops ... the Intelligent Designers into the Kansas School Curriculum. Every state should have the right to misgovern itself. Isn't that what the Cons say? Let's just hope that it stays there. Colorado higher education has enough problems without Luddite anti-intellectualism. Well, except for Colorado Springs ...
