Florida decided today to use the word "evolution" in their state school standards. No word yet on what they're going to do about "physics" or "trigonometry." As a sop to creationists, the words "scientific theory" will be placed in front of the word "evolution" wherever it appears in the standards. This will only placate those creationists who don't understand what the word "theory" means. Which, apparently, is all of them.
