Intelligent Design News Roundup Take 2
The Lafayette Journal and Courier (Nov 10, 2005) asks residents about their opinions about the "intelligent design" debate.
The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel (Nov 10, 2005) offers an editorial brief in support of science.
An Indianapolis Star article by Mary Beth Schneider (Nov 13, 2005) offers the political angle on this issue. Unfortunately there is not a lot of good news in this article:
"Lawmakers are just beginning to get the results of their constituent surveys. Initially, they show strong support for including intelligent design in science lessons. State Rep. Woody Burton, R-Greenwood, said that of about 180 responses he received, 63 percent favored intelligent design being taught alongside evolution. Rep. Phil Hinkle, R-Indianapolis, said an early tally showed 53 percent of his constituents who responded to his survey favor intelligent design being added to the curriculum."
The Richmond Palladium-Item (Nov 15, 2005) has an editorial which comes out against Intelligent Design for limited government reasons rather than scientific reasons.
