Bob Park’s take on the Pew Survey about Science Education

Let me just quote verbatim from Mr. Park: (“full article”:http://bobpark.physics.umd.edu/WN05/wn090205.html)

2. THE POLL: INTELLIGENT DESIGN IS IN THE RIGHT PEW FAR RIGHT.

The respected Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that
64% of Americans favor teaching creationism along with evolution
in public schools. A scary 38% want to REPLACE evolution with
creationism. The tiny glimmer of hope for civilization was the
number of inconsistencies in the responses, suggesting confusion
over the meaning of the terms. There is room for education.

I hope there is room for education. If all of this boils down to simple confusion because we haven’t done a good enough job of teaching the difference between science and opinion.
