Jindal: Intelligent Design "The Very Best Science" (VIDEO)

Bobby Jindal, Louisiana Governor, exorcist, and potential McCain running mate, was interviewed on CBS's Face The Nation on Father's Day. Among the topics covered, Jindal was asked about his opinions on the debate over intelligent design's place in the public school curriculum. Jindal supports teaching intelligent design alongside evolution in the classroom, saying:

I personally think that the life, human life and the world we live in wasn't created accidentally. I do think that there's a creator. I'm a Christian. I do think that God played a role in creating not only earth, but mankind. Now, the way that he did it, I'd certainly want my kids to be exposed to the very best science. I don't want them to be-I don't want any facts or theories or explanations to be withheld from them because of political correctness. The way we're going to have smart, intelligent kids is exposing them to the very best science and let them not only decide, but also let them contribute to that body of knowledge.

Most scientists argue that intelligent design doesn't qualify as science.

So McBush says Obama is too young and inexperienced to be President, yet he's considering someone TEN YEARS younger than Obama to be his VP?

Someone explain THAT to me.

[Knowbetter]

Organ Donor?

[teapartydude]

This whackjob is also an EXCORCIST!:

[nonofyabusiness]

The Catholics (and Satanl) would eat this instant excorcist for breakfast!!!!

[TonalCrow]

I seem to remember McCain disqualifying Jindal as too young. Or, rather, he strongly implied that Obama (at 46) was too young to be President. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/22/mccain-judges-obama-that-young-man/ . So, unless we use GOP "logic", Jindal (at 37) must also be too young to be President (which, given McCain's age, he easily might become at any time should McCain win the Presidency).

McCain: "Would you like another flop with your flip, sir?"

The Most Holy Bible is all the Science I need. God told my Preacher to tell me. Amen.

[BaileyWo]

God told your preacher to tell you what? Hey, I'm just trying to be concrete here.

[nonofyabusiness]

Uh it's sarcasm

[BaileyWo]

By the way, what did He say about irony?

[BaileyWo]

Spread the word: Jesus is coming back for the Rapture on the first Tuesday in November between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Anyone caught out at the polls with be left behind.

[ecotopian]

I live in Oregon, we vote by mail. My ballot will have been cast at least two weeks before this date. This must apply to the rest of the country.

[incontempt]

Very Good;-)

[evgolightly]

Brilliant, Bailey.

[TexasT]

I think astrology should be taught in public school science classes. There are a LOT more people in the world who believe in astrology than those who believe in ID.

[BaileyWo]

Not me. I'm in favor of necromancy.

[philistine]

I'd like to be the White House phrenologist. Imagine the pool of lumpy-headed subjects I would have to study.

[Superbus]

So, how many Huffkins believe that God did not create this and it was nothing more than a "big bang"?

[HumeSkeptic]

The issue is what is science and what is not. What someone believes is not the issue. As usual, you missed the point.

[TexasT]

So now y'all are going after the big bang theory, too.

Funny. I never had a college science professor who insisted that I couldn't believe in God to be a good scientist.

Xtians? Not so much.

Oh! And the earth is not flat. Hate to break it to you.

[nonofyabusiness]

No, it's the Sun not revolving around the Earth thier so stuck upon

[bugsbonzai]

I think the real question is when did you stop beating your wife? (i.e. loaded questions are a pointless way to start a discussion).

[CanadianAmerican]

Thanks for your satiric illustration of the main point of the article. Exactly. Science is all about empirical evidence, and your focus on belief aptly illustrates this point. (Wait! HumeSkeptic thinks you're not joking? Surely not?)

By the way, the big bang theory has virtually nothing to do with theories explaining life, especially evolution. I'd love to discuss this with you further. Please elaborate your position.

[BaileyWo]

Excuse me? His "position" is none of your business even though it's quite "elaborate" and his wife likes it too. By the way, what does butter have to do with any of this, whether it's evidence of "empirical" or "land-o-lakes"? And another thing: if you try to "focus" you're gonna get ht right between the eyes by bofus so don't even try. And you can't discuss it with his further 'cause he don't get home till after seven. This country's already had one evolution and we don't need no another -- says so in the bible.

[balthus]

More to the point, what evidence do you have that your "god" - who I presume to be the mythological "descendent" of European "thunder gods" such as Odin - did create "this"? Because if you don't have any proof - other than a book written by people peddling the ridiculous notion that a human being can walk on water or live again after he's dead - facts we know to be untrue - then you have no standing to question anyone else's beliefs.

[slobone]

And all this time I thought the Republican Party was a pretty good argument AGAINST intelligent design...

[Flagal]

Personally, I find "The theory of Intelligent Design an oxymoronic statement.

[RaraAvis17]

I thank god everyday that I'm an Atheist... Never could get past the fairy tales.

[DavidMG]

amen

[TexasT]

Ramen.

[HumeSkeptic]

Fairy tales are good, just not in a science class.

[Superbus]

And the science supporting Darwinism is? Please, feel free to be specific.

[MissT]

"I thank god everyday that I'm an Atheist"

Too funny.

[incontempt]

Agnostic ...according to a professor i had in order to qualify as an atheist you have to deny every religion singly...one at a time deny each...pff what an ass of a psychology prof.

[Myshkin57]

Your professor was wrong... he was an ass. An atheist merely has to believe there is/are no supreme being(s) that created the world/govern the world. You do not have to singly reject every religion and doing so would not be sufficient for being an atheist, as one could reject every actual religion and still be disposed to accept some possible religion.

You should report that professor to whatever department he's in. He's incompetent.

[HumeSkeptic]

My Theory of F*cked-UP Design (FUD) is just as valid as Intelligent Design, and should also be taught side by side with other theories.

[nonofyabusiness]

HAHHHHHHaHaHaHa!!! Thanks I needed that! ;-D

[blueshield]

And we got the prufe rite hear.

[TexasT]

Ramen.

[Knowbetter]

Hence, the platypus. I want some of what that "designer" had!

ROFLMAO! Obama speaks to Jesus twice a day, especially on the days when the going gets tough! Or so he claims. Is Obama mentally all there?

[lisakaz2]

Operation Dumbing Down America continues...yikes.

[NYC07]

“I don't want any facts or theories or explanations to be withheld from them because of political correctness. “

Yes let's teach all our children all the "Very best Sciences’ like Spiritualism and how to use the Ouija board, and divination!

[nonofyabusiness]

Tarrot cards, astrology, Magick, ....,.......Oh and how to perform an Excorcism 101(step by step). Very, Very Important!!!

[CanadianAmerican]

What the hell's a "fact"?

[iblis]

Obama believes that Jesus is the Son of God! Is Obama mentally stable?

[NYC07]

When I hear of Obama performing an " Exorcisim" then I'll start doubting his sanity.

[Pyrrhus]

As long as he doesnt try to tell me I have to believe it too, who GAS.

[HumeSkeptic]

No. But he would be if he called that science.

Get it?

[overlyelectrical]

He might be if he thought the inclusion of that in Bio represented the very best science

[Beachchick]

Obama doesn't advocate teaching Bible stories and spirituality in science class.
