I choose science

Ed Bott blogged My forehead is slightly flatter today than it was yesterday. That's because of the time I spent pounding it against my desktop last night when I learned that the President of the United States thinks that it makes perfect sense to combine science classes with folklore and mythology instead of having them in separate buildings.

I choose science also, but you must have been pounding your head against your desktop quite a bit if you interpret Bush's statement that school children should be exposed to the concept of Intelligent Design, which says that Evolution was one of the tools that God used in Creation, along side the Secular Humanists version which said that Evolution took place in a godless environment, as an endorsement of folklore and mythology.

Secular Humanism is a religion, albeit a much smaller one than Christianity, Judiasm, and Islam. If our schools are going to teach Evolution, then why should it be taught only from the Secular Humanist perspective? Why not also teach it in a way that Christians, Jews, and Muslims might be able to accept, that Evolution was a tool used by an Intelligent Designer [God] when he created everything.
