2nd Excerpt (pro-science/research language)

My name is Tim White. I have been a professor of Anthropology and Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, for thirty years. I, and my colleagues in such fields as medicine, physical anthropology, evolutionary biology, forensics and archaeology, rely heavily on the use of skeletal remains. Indeed, no students in these fields could be properly trained without direct access to relevant physical scientific evidence. At a time when the teaching of intelligent design is constitutionally forbidden, it is odd that the federal government is entertaining rules that would require Museums and universities to make curatorial decisions based on religious and spiritual criteria. All Americans have a "cultural relationship" with these culturally unidentifiable collections, and the evidence that they provide concerning the history of mankind.
