Creationism in Schools
While I support Bush on some things I sure do not support is views on Intelligent Design being taught in schools as a science. I'm sure faith based people think it is fairness but there is no science behind it. When a single book is your only real "evidence" for the arguement you have a problem.
Yes I do think that Intelligent Design should be taught, in Church where that is their perogitave, or in a philosophy or religion class if discussed in public schools.
The arguements I've seen that Creationists have against Evolution are so weak it isn't funny. Most of them think that Evolution says that humans came from chimps, which no educated Evolutionist believes. Humans and chimps have common ancestors that date back millions of years and their own seperate ancestors since, not one year or something chimp mothers suddenly had human children and they started human civilization. Its a long slow process that has problems mostly to do with evidence being hard to come by but when it is found it explains just a little bit more. Yes you can't actively prove evolution but people who do aren't going by faith they are going by evidence.
I'm all for debate on the subject but no one should confuse Intelligent Design as being a science.
