Science Group Says Florida’s Evolution Debate Ended in February

April 14th, 2008 by flanews

The evolution debate continues at the Capitol. In February, the Board of Education voted to include the theory of evolution in state science curriculums. Since then lawmakers have filed a bill aimed at protecting teachers who want to teach the holes in Darwin’s theory. Citizens for Science held a press conference Monday to rally support against the bill. Members of Citizens for Science said the bill would provide a loophole for teachers who want to push religion.

“Scientists actually have evidence without certainty. Those who propose Intelligent Design have certainty without evidence, and that’s an important difference,” said Dr. Harold Kroto a Nobel Prize Winner.

Citizens for Science will hold a discussion panel on Evolution tonight in Tallahassee.
