A lovely bit of logic

This is the final week of the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School Board trial in a Harrisburg, PA federal court. Back in August, before the trial was underway, President Bush came down on the side of intelligent design, much to the delight of the religious- right (WN 5 Aug 05) . On Tuesday, however, he announced that he would ask Congress for $7.1 billion to prepare the nation for a worldwide outbreak of flu. It's a hedge against evolution. Although a virulent strain of bird flu has killed at least 62 people in Asia, there have been no confirmed cases of human-to-human transmission. The fear is that the H5N1 virus will mutate (evolve) making that possible. Does this mean that Mr. Bush has changed his mind on evolution?
Q.E.D., muthaf*cka.

Did you see that all 8 ID-backing members of the Dover school board who were up for reelection got the boot? Hahahaha.

Mutate doesn't mean evolve. It means the Intelligent Designer intervenes to change the genetic code, since it's too complex to be random. God gonna git us! And if we fight back we're fighting da MAN and gonna go to Hell!
So tell me again why George wants to fight God and disturb his intelligent design?
