In the News: Penn profs join fray |
From the article:

Educators say intelligent design hurts science.
By JOSEPH MALDONADO
For the Daily Record/Sunday News
Saturday, January 8, 2005
Nearly three dozen University of Pennsylvania professors, as well as
the associate dean from the university’s physics department, wrote an
open letter Wednesday asking the Dover school board to "alter the
misguided policy of teaching intelligent design creationism" and give
students "real, dependable scientific knowledge."
Paul Sniegowski, Penn associate professor of biology, said on Friday
the 32 teachers and the associate dean sent the letter because he felt
any discussion on "intelligent design" reduces the quality of a
science education.

Why don't any of the many scientists whom creationists claim are on
their side ever make any public announcements like that?
