But since this is Kansas, someone ultra-ultra-right and ultra-ultra-religious is running against him in the Republican Primary. Here are some of Joan Heffington's choicer positions.   Quote "I don't think there should be a separation of faith and state. Most of us believe in God. I do." The state should require public school instruction in Christianity as long as teachers continue to press the case for evolution in classrooms, she said. Also from the article:   Quote Her running mate is Mark Holick, pastor of Spirit One Christian Center in Wichita. Holick made political news for posting on the church's marquee a declaration to America: "We have a Muslim president. This is a sin against the Lord!" The cynical amongst us might think that this is a ploy by Brownbackers to make him look more reasonable... -------------- Flesh of the sky, child of the sky, the mind Has been obligated from the beginning To create an ordered universe As the only possible proof of its own inheritance.                         - Pattiann Rogers

Ayala, an evolutionary geneticist and molecular biologist who has vigorously opposed the entanglement of science and religion while also calling for mutual respect between the two, has won the 2010 Templeton Prize. PZ give this a lukewarm review, but Ayala is a pioneer in the fight to keep creationism out of schools. Quote To that end, in 1981 he served as an expert witness in a pivotal U.S. federal court challenge that led to the overturning of an Arkansas law mandating the teaching of creationism alongside evolution. http://www.templetonprize.org/currentwinner.html -------------- Any version of ID consistent with all the evidence is indistinguishable from evolution.
