State
Boards of Education have been
under pressure to rewrite Biology
textbooks to include material
about Intelligent Design as an
alternate explanation for
evolution. In case that happens,
I've been working on a rewrite of
my own: "In the beginning,
about 13 billion years ago, God
created the quantum gravity
barrier. And the weak nuclear
force was upon the face of the
deep. And God divided it into
matter and antimatter, with a
slight asymmetry in favor of
matter. And God said, Let there
be a Quark-hadron transition, and
there was a Quark-hadron
transition. And He called the
particles baryons. And when the
universe had cooled to 3,000
billion degrees Kelvin, God
created hadrons and leptons and
helium and hydrogen. And God saw
that it was good." Of course
it's still a work-in-progress,
but kids have to learn about
science somewhere! |
