I hate it when he throws bones to the fundies. Thumbs down on this one, Mr. Bush.

Well, that settles it.
I will call the printers and get the new biology textbooks started.

Evolution is no different than any religion
in that you have a bunch of facts you conclude
lead to evolution, but those facts don't prove
it.

In a wide-ranging question-and-answer session with a small group of reporters, Well, I guess if true it's better he's saying it now then back in Sept-Oct 2004. I'm actually (thankfully) shocked it took this long for the reporters to question him about it. If I were a Liberal reporter out to get Bush and/or any other Republican I would have asked questions like this a long time ago.
Bush essentially endorsed efforts by Christian conservatives to give intelligent design equal standing with the theory of evolution in the nation's schools.
Now what exactly does "Essentially Endorsed" mean???
Methinks Bush probably gave the standard Republican dodge and the press is exaggeraging if not outright falsefying his statements.

You so called "scientist" suffer from terminal ideology syndrome..open your eyes from astrophysics to cell biology there is enough contradictions to "Evolution" as Darwin and your crowd proclaim that the Theory of intelligent design may well be the more powerful influence on biologic diversity with evolution being just a tool much like a computer that is useless without the software.

The theory of evolution, first articulated by British naturalist Charles Darwin in 1859, is based on the idea that life organisms [sic] developed over time through random mutations and factors in nature that favored certain traits that helped species survive.I've seen worse stabs at summarizing, but the editor could have adjusted this somewhat nonstandard turn of phrase.

i love how people are in such awe of nature yet fail to recognize how complex it really is. our small minds cannot comprehend how long the earth has been in existence let alone the age of our universe. sure, we may know the rough numbers but cannot comprehend how small an amount of time that, let's say, 10,000 years is. intelligent design IS nature.
To: DGray
Evolution continues to lose ground. Makes me very happy.

So the President doesn't believe in a total blackout to other theories, as some supporters of evolution do, and some people diminish his intelligence. Typical.
If evolution IS the Truth let it experience competition. Let the weaker theory fall. It works in economics. It works in the political sphere where conservative ideology is slowly becoming dominant.

"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.'" That's funny...that's exactly what the Clintons said about Heather Has Two Mommies.

physics, chemistry, random chance, circumstance, and good old fashion luck for the most part. please don't ask me what created physics.
we just need to face the fact that we are less than a speck of dust in the whole scheme of things and when we die that is it. no more. nada. i think people use religion to, among other things, envision eternity for their soul because humans are selfish enough to actually think the universe would be less of a place without their input. we are here to have sex and pass on genetic material. that's it.
but i do enjoy a good prayer now and again. i believe it can be an enormous source of internal fortitude, reflection, and basically provides a blue print for decent living. but "faith" is something i lack in terms of believing in God.
To: ConsentofGoverned
Name a few of these contradictions. I bet they'll simply stem from a misunderstanding of what the science actually says.

Remember Piltdown Man, Eugenics, "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" and all that other discarded cr@p? In the words of the esteemed Mr. Reagan: "There you go again."
For the lurkers out there, Mr. Ro76 here has been shown time and again that his list of "discarded crap" is all a bunch of creationist canards. But, like your typical creationist, he comes back "dumb as a stump" on the very next thread and repeats the same lines over and over.
