Bush wants alternatives to Darwinism taught in school
The irony of this entire debate is that the Big Bang was a theory that the Catholic church grabbed right onto... several hundred years ago. And there was Pope John Paul II's statement regarding evolution in 1996:
"Today, almost half a century after the publication of [Pius XII's] Encyclical, fresh knowledge has led to the recognition that evolution is more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory."
Interesting, no?
Of course I think that our children should be exposed to different ideas. I also think adults should, including Bush, lol. I just think it's interesting that Christianity chooses to either embrace or reject certain things, based on a whim of how it will affect the church at the time. When our kids or lovers or friends behave like this, we call them on it & tell them to get real. When someone in a pulpit does it, people are willing to die & kill for it. Silly people.
