進化は神の知的計画なのだとシェンボルン枢機卿がぶちあげた件http://www.asyura2.com/0502/cult1/msg/924.htmlの後の騒動です。
ブッシュ大統領も知的計画を学校で教えるべきだと言い、知的計画の支持者を勢いつけている（支持者向けのリップサービスか、本気なのか?）。 しかし、マーバーガー科学補佐官は進化論は現代生物学のマイルストーンであって知的計画は科学じゃない、科学としてではなくて社会状況として科学の授業で教えるべきと言うことだ、と弁明している。

Evolution row reaches new heights as Bush backs 'intelligent design'
By Geneviève Roberts
Published: 04 August 2005
The evolution versus creationism debate in the United States has escalated after President George Bush said the theory of "intelligent design" should be taught alongside evolution in public schools. Then, "people can understand what the debate is about", he said.
"First of all, that decision should be made [by] local school districts, but I felt like both sides ought to be properly taught," Mr Bush said in an interview with five Texas newspapers.
"I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought. You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, and the answer is yes."
Intelligent design, advanced by a group of academics and some biblical creationists, disputes the idea that natural selection fully explains the complexity of life. Intelligent design proponents say life is so intricate that only a powerful guiding force, or intelligent designer, could have created it.
The President's conservative Christian supporters and the leading institute advancing intelligent design embraced Mr Bush's comments. But his comments drew sharp criticism yesterday from opponents of the theory, who said there is no scientific evidence to support it and no educational basis for teaching it.
At the White House, where intelligent design has been discussed in a weekly Bible study group, Mr Bush's science adviser, John Marburger, sought to play down the President's remarks. Mr Marburger said evolution was the cornerstone of modern biology and intelligent design was not a scientific concept.
Mr Bush's remarks should be interpreted to mean that the President believed intelligent design should be discussed as part of the "social context" in science classes, he said.
The theory has won support in school districts in 20 states.
