Texas has decided: We should ignore scientific theory and observations and leave question of the age of the Universe open to debate in the classroom. After all, the Universe could be a few thousand years old because the Judeo-Christian Bible says so. This is what the Texas School Board member Barbara Cargill thinks and this is what the Texas School Board voted for (11:3).
The amazingly eloquent speech by Cargill can be watched here.
Interesting discussions on this appear on the Pharyngula blog.
Also, in a New Scientist article.
