Brendan Nelson clarifies ID position.
Back in August I wrote about our Federal Education Minister giving qualified for support for teaching Intelligent Design creationsism. Now the Ministers office has released a letter explaining that Dr. Nelson doesn't think ID should be taught in science class. This is a great relief. John Wilkins has the details over at Evolving Thoughts.
In the meantime the AAS (that's the American Astronomical Society, not the Australian Academy of Sciences) has given it's collective response to Intelligent Design creationism (guess what, they favour good science not ID), read more at the Bad Astronomer's blog. The Australian Academy of Science doesn't have an ID policy just yet, but you can read their thoughts on old-style creationism here.
