A letter to the editor printed in today's Dallas Morning News, "On
behalf of the Board of Directors of the Academy of Medicine,
Engineering and Science of Texas" about two recent events in
Texas, the Comer case and the ICR certification request.

There is no such thing as True Science. There is only science that is
supported by lots of empirical evidence and has not been falsfied
empiricially.

I cringed at that title, and I assume that the authors of the letter
did also, and that the title was the work of someone at the
letters-to-the-editor page of the Dallas Morning News.
