Man who believes earth is 6,000 yrs old helping to revise Arizona's education standards on evolution

[Soph0571]

Thanks to Arizona’s Republican Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas, a committee tasked with revising the state’s science curriculum standards on evolution now has as one of its members a man who takes the bible literally when it comes to how life on earth was formed.

As the Phoenix New Times points out, Joseph Kezele is the president of the Arizona Origin Science Association, an organization that promotes young earth creationism — a worldview that looks to the bible as a historical and scientific record. Now, just in time for the final review on teaching standards regarding the theory of evolution in Arizona public schools, Kezele was appointed to an eight-member panel tasked with doing the job.

-----------------------------
From the Phoenix New Times:
Kezele successfully convinced other members to de-emphasize evolution in at least one instance.

The committee signed off on changing a reference to evolution as “the explanation” for the unity and diversity of all living and extinct organisms to “an” explanation.
