Bush promotes ID

ID is not scientific, and weakening K-12 science education is likely to have long-term deleterious effects on the economic competitveness and military technology and strength of the US. The latter especially needs to be pointed out to Republicans who regard themselves as "pro-military".

How would you propose we teach it in schools? I think it would be a very quick lesson plan (Godditit) followed by a very short exam (Answer = Goddidit).

Fossils of any kind are rare because fossilation itself is a relatively rare event.

Well it's a good thing that that's not what evolution say then isn't it?

Either show us, Tal, where the ToE makes this claim or retract this statement.

The common definition of the word in popular science includes the emergence of new species as a product of evolution as well...A group of organisms is said to have common descent if they have a common ancestor. In biology, the theory of universal common descent proposes that all organisms on Earth are descended from a common ancestor or ancestral gene pool.In addition, abiogenesis the generation of life from non-living matter has never been observed, indicating that the origin of life from non-life is either extremely rare or only happens under conditions very unlike those of modern Earth.Since abiogenesis is rare or impossible under modern conditions and the evolutionary process is exceedingly slow, the diversity and complexity of modern life requires that the Earth be very old, on the order of billions of years. This is compatible with geological evidence that the Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old.

He made a similar statement last week but it was some rubbish about People evoling from frogs or some such nonsense.

After all we don't want our guys in fox holes saying "God help me please"

Wow. Love of Christ in action.

Bullshit. If you think you would be quicker to jump to defend this nation than I just because you volunteered to go out into the desert and kill dark people under the guise of democracy (or was that WMDs or was that and evil dictator...I forget) then you are sorely mistaken.

You don't even know me so don't pretend to claim you know what keeps me free. You are not automatically more American because you wear fatigues, carry a gun, and have the word "Private" as a prefix.
