New science standards are expected to be approved early next year by the education board, where a majority of members have voiced support for retaining the current mandate to cover both strengths and weaknesses of major scientific theories, notably evolution, in science courses.

Isn’t it amazing how evolution is always the scientific theory singled out for this. What are the odds! It’s like they don’t care about the strengths and weaknessess and critical analysis of any other scientific theory (with the possible exception of global warming). Those, if they are even mentioned at all, are tacked on and then promptly forgotten about. Or maybe they think the strenghths and weakness of those other theories are already adequately addressed? Wow, without the Texas board of education, we’d never know the state of science.

And I have to wonder whatever are these weaknessess I keep hearing about. They keep mentioning them collectively, but never bother to list what they are. Of course we already know. It’s just the same old tired anti-evolution arguments that Creationists have used for aeons.
