I have a problem with Intelligent Design being taught in schools, since in order to GET it taught there you have to leave out mentioning GOD, who is supposed to be the one doing the Designing, Galactus?

However, there does need to be discussions of moral issues raised by scientific research and a modified version of this bill would encourage it.
