Yes, it’s no big secret that the liberals use Darwinism as a ‘world view’ as opposed to conservatives… like, the President (it is no secret where his 'world view' comes from and the liberals hate it…)

Well, GWB is a member of the United Methodist Church, and so if his views come from there, here they are:

Science and Technology

Space

The universe, known and unknown, is the creation of God and is due the respect we are called to give the earth.

Science and Technology

We recognize science as a legitimate interpretation of God’s natural world. We affirm the validity of the claims of science in describing the natural world, although we preclude science from making authoritative claims about theological issues.* We recognize technology as a legitimate use of God’s natural world when such use enhances human life and enables all of God’s children to develop their God-given creative potential without violating our ethical convictions about the relationship of humanity to the natural world.

In acknowledging the important roles of science and technology, however, we also believe that theological understandings of human experience are crucial to a full understanding of the place of humanity in the universe. Science and theology are complementary rather than mutually incompatible. We therefore encourage dialogue between the scientific and theological communities and seek the kind of participation that will enable humanity to sustain life on earth and, by God’s grace, increase the quality of our common lives together.

You were saying?

* underscore added

Religion and science are in two different realms of knowledge. These two realms derive their knowledge from different sources and by different means. These realms test and approve new and old knowledge by different means and the knowledge is used quite differently and actually has different meanings and calls to action. The realms may not be mixed, rather they are complementary parts of the human experience.

A student asked me once if I believed in evolution. I simply answered "No. I just work with it every day." And as John Muir noted, 'the world we behold is not yet half created.' Maybe that's why monkeys are still alive.
