Pet Politics

So, I was doing my normal scanning of recent news events and I stumbled upon another one of Bush's attempts to force Christianity on the American public.

Basically, it's just Bush trying to get Creationism taught in schools as well as the real story (Evolution). So now, kids will be taught two things. One, that humans evolved from their obviously similar lower counterparts (simians), and two, that man was magically created from sand and that woman were created as servants for men. Whoo hoo Sexism and lies!

" 'I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought,' Bush said. ' You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes.' "

Yes George, I totally agree with you there, but not when these other ideas are complete bullshit. The majority of America believes that theory only because they were taught that when they were kids. Oh, and free thinking isn't taught it in schools.

"The claim that equity demands balanced treatment of evolutionary theory and special creation in science classrooms reflects a misunderstanding of what science is and how it is conducted," the academy said in a 1999 assessment. "Creationism, intelligent design, and other claims of supernatural intervention in the origin of life or of species are not science because they are not testable by the methods of science."

Bam, he hit the nail right on the head. Creationism has no back up. No way to prove it.

Government - Religion = better world for all of us.
