So far, eight Florida daily newspapers have written editorials in support of evolution. None have supported “alternatives.” Either the reality of the situation is that obvious, or it’s just a liberal media conspiracy. I’ll take reality.

Here’s the eighth editorial, which appeared today in the Palm Beach Post.

Evolution is scientific theory. Creationism is religious belief. Only one of them should be taught in Florida’s science classrooms.

But students are not taught the empirical scientific evidence for creationism and intelligent design because there is no empirical scientific evidence for creationism and intelligent design.

Florida hopes to become a leader in scientific discoveries. Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast want to play a major role in the biotech industry. To have any chance of achieving those goals, Florida has to teach science in its science classrooms. The state Board of Education votes next month on whether to require students to be taught evolution. If Florida can’t do that, the state has little hope of evolving into a world leader in science.
