I planned for this to be about homemaking and homeschooling, but now it's just a chaotic jumble of news and ideas about animals, kids, food, and other random thoughts.

Article #2

Smithsonian in uproar over intelligent-design article
Museum researcher's career threatened after he published favorable piece


Here's a quote from this article:

"Klinghoffer points out the circularity of the arguments of critics who insisted intelligent design was unscientific because if had not been put forward in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
"Now that it has," he wrote, "they argue that it shouldn't have been because it's unscientific." "


The guy who is in hot water over this Smithsonian article didn't even write the article itself! He just made the decision to include it in the scientific journal. He is now in big trouble regarding his professional position. Let's hear it for encouraging diversity!
