Indiana backing away from bill allowing creation

Earlier this week, we reported on efforts by an Indiana state legislator who was interested in getting creationism inserted into the state’s science classrooms. He managed to get a modified bill, one that was less sectarian but still overtly promoted religion, passed by the state’s Senate. Yesterday, however, the leader of the Indiana House voiced unease about having the state wade into an area that the Supreme Court has declared an unconstitutional promotion of religion.

Senator Kruse (pictured above) looks like a fine, upstanding, good Christian who just wants science teachers to teach creationism.
