Does He Hate Facts? 

From the New York Times: Bush Remarks Roil Debate Over Teaching of Evolution

I suppose it's no surprise that in a debate over science versus religion, Bush picked religion. But I can't help but feel insulted by his position that this is merely a move "to expose people to different schools of thought." It's a calculated move to give a baseless concept equal weight with a scientific theory that has been the foundation of biology for over a hundred years now. Not to mention the fact that there are literally hundreds of different cultural views on the creation of our world, so why stop at teaching just one version? Let's teach 'em all! I'd wager we'd all be a lot more accepting of other religions if every school child knew about Izanagi, Vishnu and Ahura Mazda.

And if I hear that "just a theory" crap again, I'm going to vomit. Scientific theories are not mere conjecture or speculation, they are meticulously researched and continuously challenged by other scientists. Darwin didn't just pull that shit out of his hat.
