Just a Theory
Hey! This news article is hitting a little close to home. Either this guy is a die hard believer in steady state cosmology or he doesn't want to offend anyone believing the Earth was created in seven literal days. If the latter, it looks like evolution is just an appetizer before the main course. Pretty soon the science textbooks will be telling us how Joshua stopped the Sun and how all this stuff about the Earth going around the Sun is just a "theory."
In October George Deutsch, a presidential appointee in NASA headquarters, told a Web designer working for the agency to add the word "theory" after every mention of the Big Bang, according to an e-mail message from Mr. Deutsch that another NASA employee forwarded to The Times.
