Intellegent Design ...idiots

I must say that as a conservative republican, and further more as a christian. Iam insulted by the attempt by certain ultra-radical elements of the christian right to try to lambast the party into excepting the cock-eyed, illogical theory of "I.D." or Intellegent design. Recently school boards in at least two states have changed the criculum in there science classes to teach intellegent design.
Now as a christian and a conservative I believe in the teachings of the bible. I believe in creationism, i also beleive that God created the rules that govern the univers and the rules of science. Therefore it is very possible that God placed into effect the idea of "natural selection" you see I believe unlike many christians that God is a rational logical being that he loved us so much he would not just create a superficial world for us. No he created a complete world, one with laws of science and nature. He didn't just create water out of nothing he created protons and electrons, then atoms, then atoms of Hydrogen, then atoms of Oxygen, then he; having created the rules that govern chemistry likely place two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen to get water.
You see the reason that we teach evolution in science classes is because there is some scientific evidence of its exsistance. There is no evidence of creationism ( thats where faith comes in) to teach in a science class a theory that has no scientific proof is intellectual dishonest. It would be like teaching that the world is flat, to spite that fact that no scientific evidence exisits to support that theory.
As I have said as a christian I believe in creationism but as a logical human being I cannot have my children taught that as a scientific fact in school. I am also upset that some members of my political party, have been duped into supporting this lame brained idea. I am rearly if ever happy to see Democrats win elections, however I was happy to see the people of Dover Pennslyvannia come to there senses and kick the idiots out of office.

Peace

A dust devil blows across a weary road, which has seen too much travel, to many comings and goings. The stories it could tell, the songs I'm sure it would sing. Songs of those it carried, the countless mass throughout its long life. I sit and watch the weary travelers as they scurry by, avoiding the pitfalls on their way to there destination to finish there lives.
I cannot help but ponder upon the roads of my life. Those that brought me here, to this corner of the universe. The byways that I trod, some simple ones spreading from a childhood of wonder to an uncertain manhood, and on to a clear vision of the path I am to take.
As I sit here in the lands of Eden, walking thru the fields of Babylon my spirit wonders. Far from this terror, from the decay, desolation, and ridged stagnation. To the midwestern fields of home. To the city on the hill, I can see it shine when I close my eyes. I long to feel the grass beneight my feet. To feel the lovely sting of snow on my skin. To hear the bustle of my countrymen.
Yet I must focus on my current task, upon the road that lyes before me. Upon those that wish to kill me,upon the people I'm here to help. I hope to one day return. To see this place on my own terms, not under the pretenses of conflict. To see the beauty that peace can produce to see a nation formed from chaos.
That is my dream for this land. That these roads can carry a people to a greater destiny then they have ever known. To peace; peace that takes hold after victory. Peace that transcends generations. Peace that will build a strong nation. My simple wish for these travelers is peace. Until they have it I shall fight, work, and even pray. May the Gods hear such a prayer from a small man, in a strange place, upon a battlefield.
I wear the garments of a warrior, ready to do battle with my foe at a moments notice. A battle for my life, for the very life of this land. Yet under all the vestments of a warrior lies the heart of a poet. One that longs for harmony, serenity, and a lasting peace. As I kneel and say my prayers, I wonder at the irony. Does he hear the prayers for peace from a warrior like me? I think he must, for it is the warriors above all that longs for peace.
