President Bush invigorated proponents of teaching alternatives to
evolution in public schools with remarks saying that schoolchildren
should be taught about "intelligent design,"... Bush told Texas
newspaper reporters ... that he believes that intelligent design
should be taught alongside evolution as competing theories.

On one hand Bush says he wants "no child left behind" and on the
other he says he wants to see religion taught in science classes -
effectively leaving all child behind.

Then again, this is the same administration that encourages schools
to teach to each students ability and test each student against grade
level.

Grrrr.... 


teaching religion does not leave kids behind in the sciences- some
absolutely brilliant scientific minds were true believers.  what's important
is how it's taught- what causes kids to be left behind is not having
critical thinking skills- and that is not mutually independant of faith.

Well said.
Evolutionary theory is a wonderful piece of work, but it's just a theory, and one full of conceptual and logical flaws.
I think it should be taught as an example as to how science can be made to replace religion, by brainwashing young children into being naturalists from a very young age.
It also keeps anthropologists very busy looking for elusive transitional fossils and trying to scramble to logically explain the Cambrian explosion by means of evolutionary theory.

Lamarck's theories, disguised as science, ought to be finally put to rest.
