The New York Times talking about what Conservatives or Christians believe? Now that's a twist! I didn't know they employed any Christians, not to mention anybody with a conservative understanding.
Maybe we need Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to write on the morals and value changes within the KKK. It will probably has just as significant a value as this article.
This lampoon must have been in the editorial section, so they could suggest some validity...right?

Article stated that school districts considered teaching intelligent design, and President Bush stated that it should be taught along with evolution.

I dont subscribe to Darwinism, because there lies many faults and questions that pop up with his theory of evolution. I believe that there is intelligent design, that God created all matter, but that this matter evolves and is in a continuous state of flux.
As for those that dont believe that God created all things perfect, they will argue "well why didnt he make things perfect the first time?" Answer is--- I cant speak for God. Logically, no human is perfect, and this is so that our souls can have harsh experiences in order to appreciate what is truly good.
