HB 1227, known as the Missouri Standard Science Act, was introduced by State Rep. Rick Brattin, R-Harrisonville, on Jan. 10. If enacted, it would require that textbooks covering any scientific theory of biological origin devote equal treatment to evolution and intelligent design.
Intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."

Theories are suppositions. Intelligent design is worthy of a sentence in a textbook. The idea of equal treatment demeans the matter. If philosophical realism was taught, intelligent design would be implicit as a reasonable guess or abduction regarding reality. That nominalism holds sway is one of the major barriers to the global revolution now in progress.
