From the Center for American Progress and the Washington Post:
It seems scientific reasoning is not what it used to be. After years of crafty strategizing orchestrated by conservatives, policymakers in nearly twenty states are now considering measures "that question the science of evolution." Though most do not seek to completely disavow the teaching of evolution, an overwhelming number of the proposals attempt to address the "gaps" in Darwinian theory by means of the intelligent design theory, which claims that the vast complexity of nature is evidence of the existence of a great cosmic "designer." Though many scientists are aghast at what is being called neocreationism, religious activists and anti-evolutionary scientists have long felt "persecuted" by the teaching of evolution and are now simply taking advantage of the opportunity provided by the Bush presidency, as President Bush himself believes the "jury is still out on evolution."

Did you hear that? The JURY IS STILL OUT on evolution. Yes, that's right. Apparently, all of the empirical evidence that supports evolution was planted by the "Supreme Being" in an attempt at one big fabulous practical joke. Boy did he pull one over on us! Gosh, I feel so silly.
