Kansas School Official Calls Evolution 'Fairy Tale'
POSTED: 9:14 am CDT June 14, 2005
TOPEKA, Kan. -- A member of Kansas' State Board of Education who's involved in writing new public school science standards calls evolution a "fairy tale" that's sometimes defended with "anti-God contempt and arrogance."
A newsletter written by board member Connie Morris said students should be taught "criticism of Darwinism alongside the age-old fairy tale of evolution."
In her newsletter, Morris said she's a Christian who believes that the creation account in the Book of Genesis is literally true.
But she also acknowledges that many other Christians have no trouble reconciling faith and evolution.
