Getting the Science Right
The Kansas school board's hearings on evolution weren't limited to how the theory should be taught in public schools. The board is considering redefining science itself. Advocates of "intelligent design" are pushing the board to reject a definition limiting science to natural explanations for what's observed in the world. Instead, they want to define it as "a systematic method of continuing investigation," without specifying what kind of answer is being sought. The definition would appear in the introduction to the state's science standards. A bunch of lunatic fringe educators want to define science as "a human activity of systematically seeking natural explanations for what we observe in the world around us."

Always on the vanguard, the CHL has adopted the new science standards. Now conservation biology will be defined as the systematic method of continuing the investigation of the forces advancing biological homogeneity. Please make a note of it for future reference.
