Inside Higher Ed: Evolution, email and Kansas
When news spread last week of a new course at the University of Kansas on intelligent design, the reaction was fairly predictable. Since the course will be taught in the religious studies department and is called “Intelligent Design, Creationism and Other Religious Mythologies,” scientists said that intelligent design was being properly explained, supporters of intelligent design questioned whether the course would be biased against their ideas, and the university released a statement defending the academic freedom of the professor who created the course.
