University of Kansas Offers Creationism Study (kind of -ed.)
I have to wonder if statistics was offered at the universities where the theory of evolution was taught. I ask this because anyone who has studied statistic can apply it to the probability of life being created by an accidental sequence of events. They will find that it is statistically impossible for life to have been created by accident.
Don't throw out the intelligent design theory yet.
LAWRENCE, Kan. — Creationism and intelligent design are going to be studied at the University of Kansas, but not in the way advocated by opponents of the theory of evolution.
A course being offered next semester by the university religious studies department is titled "Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies."
"The KU faculty has had enough," said Paul Mirecki, department chairman.
"Creationism is mythology," Mirecki said. "Intelligent design is mythology. It's not science. They try to make it sound like science. It clearly is not."

I think sometimes people get confused over evolution versus adaptation.
I went to Merriam-Webster Online to check out some things.
Here is what I found:

Some will say "Well, what does he know, it's not his (my) field of study?" They are right, but I know that evolution is just a theory and I will thank educators to stop teaching it as fact.
