Missouri Candidates Quizzed on ID
Columbia, the home of the University of Missouri, is having a school board election. Two candidates, Steve Calloway and Michael Tan, were quizzed about their views on intelligent design at a candidate forum held Monday night at St. Luke United Methodist Church.
Both candidates said they believe intelligent design "has not been adequately researched and tested enough to be considered a valid enough theory to be included as part of the district’s science curriculum," according to the Columbia Missourian.
“Intelligent design is synonymous with creationism, and is a disguise for teaching a biblical explanation for how the universe is created,” Calloway said.
