Anti-evolution bill introduced in MO

Missouri has introduced anti-evolution legislation, House Bill 195. It is a typical "equal time" bill calling chemical and biological evolution "controversial," even though there's no controversy among biologists or chemists that evolution happens. There are a number of problems with equal time bills, such as:

1- There's only so much time in the school day and science classes need to be devoted to science. Creationism (including Intelligent Design) is not science.

2- In order to understand science, students must understand what is science and what is something else masquerading as science (pseudoscience).

3- Not all ideas are equally valid. Teaching real science alongside nonsense because politicians are pushing a religious agenda will only confuse students.
