With some justification, Kuhn’s readers took him to be saying that science is a largely non-rational activity, characterized by dogmatic adherence to a paradigm in normal periods, and sudden 'conversion experiences' in revolutionary periods.
But Kuhn himself was unhappy with this interpretation of his work. In a Postscript to the second edition of Structure published in 1970, and in subsequent writings, Kuhn moderated his tone considerably, distancing himself from the more radical views that he had seemed to endorse. He was not trying to cast doubt on the rationality of science, he argued, but rather to offer a more realistic, historically accurate picture of how science actually develops. By neglecting the history of science, the logical empiricists had been led to a simplistic account of how science works, and Kuhn’s aim was to provide a corrective. He was not trying to show that science was irrational, but rather to provide a better account of what scientific rationality involves.

Since the American constitution prohibits the teaching of religion in public schools, 'creation science' was invented—which claims that the biblical account of creation is a better scientific explanation of life on earth than Darwin’s theory of evolution. So teaching biblical creation does not violate the constitutional ban, for it counts as science, not religion!
