Infinite Sadness

It was with sadness that I read a NYTimes article about the intelligent design trial in Pennsylvania. It was with sadness because there are many people who really do trust the Intelligent Design crowd. The school board member mentioned at the end of the article in particular. How is he to know who to trust, when two academics start to argue. It is not enough for scientists to just say "Trust us, we are right." Science has to be more fundamental on all levels. School children need to learn science instead of science history or nomenclature. Then, perhaps a battle can be fought against non-science.
