TOPEKA, Kansas (AP) -- At the risk of re-igniting the same heated nationwide debate it sparked six years ago, the Kansas Board of Education approved new public school science standards Tuesday that cast doubt on the theory of evolution.
The 6-4 vote was a victory for "intelligent design" advocates who helped draft the standards. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power.

Cool, now Kansas kids won't be competing with the rest of the country in the competitive college entrance market.

Charley -- I don't care if CNN came up with the title. CNN hates Christians. CNN's owner Ted Turner believes the world is overpopulated and needs to be thinned and culled by at least three-quarters. He's Illuminati.
The title is bigoted and misleading -- just what you might expect from CNN.
I think the title needs to be changed.

Zip -- As I said, if people want to teach their kids evolution in their own schools, that's their business. Just don't make me pay for it. I am a Christian, and I don't believe atoms have godlike properties, don't believe they are self-existant, don't believe they can create planets and stars and all the living beings.
I worship God, not the atom.
I do not believe we are animals who evolved up from the slime, just an accident, and since we're just animals we might as well act like animals.
People want to teach their kids that kind of stuff? I think it's child abuse myself, but who am I to tell someone what they can and can't teach their own children? I might tell them what I think but ultimately they have the right to make that decision.
Just don't make me pay for it. We have a first Amendment that's supposed to protect us from that kind of abomination.
