A federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that it is unconstitutional to teach so called Intelligent Design in schools – read the articles from the Seattle Post and BBC. This is quite a landmark ruling, as Kansas and other states have pioneered the teaching of religious ideas about evolution and a factual presentation of Darwin’s theory of evolution has come under threat. Those that believe that the world is indeed only about 6000 years old have also opened a scary and massive museum – have a look at this!

For a rational and atheist ripose to all of this, this excellent interview with Richard Dawkins is well worth a read.
