Does that mean they're also going to remove teaching gravity, atomic theory, moleculur biology, and every other scientific theory, since none of those can be "proven" either? Or start teaching "alternative theories" to the above? I wonder if there was a controversy about teaching the Cupernican theory of a heliocentric universe circa 1600, and if religious proponents advocating the teaching of both heleocentricity and the Bible-supported view of geocentricity.
I get so angry with people who are responsable for setting the standards of a science curriculum when they don't even understand what science does -- and does not do.

And intelligent design is offensive to anyone who knows what the principles of the scientific method are.
