Faith-based Intelligence

This article is kind of scary. I guess Mr. Bush and his friends want to ignore scientists in thier political agenda.

They are pretending that global warming doesn't exist and trying to block federal funding of stem-cell research and they are missing the boat on investing in renewable energy sources. Three very important things that can save people's lives and save the earth.

My favorite part of this article is the new term for teaching creationism in public schools. It's now called "Intelligent design." Some silliness about how since we don't have all the answers to how the world was created, it had to be created by "God" and they should teach that in public schools which are funded by tax dollars from a country that was founded on the "separation-of-church-and-state" thingy and the "no-taxation-without-representation" thingy. I think they should call it "Non-intelligent science education designing"

One thing this article did not go into, is the health and reproductive education. Instead of teaching the real facts of life, how the body works, and nifty new ways to make sure you don't have babies unless you want them, Mr. Bush and his friends came up with the term "abstinence education" where they spend a lot of time taking about moral values instead of scientific facts and theories. They should change that to "My God says you shouldn't have sex" education.
