Will McCain pick Jindal as his running mate in a blatant suck-up to the religious right? I dunno, but I hope so. Many within the GOP are touting Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal as a possible running mate for John McCain...calling him a rising superstar in the party. Unfortunately, this rising star is also in favor of teaching creationism (intelligent design) alongside of evolution.
In the following video, Jindal attempts to offer a nuanced argument in favor of including intelligent design as part of a science curriculum. Jindal suggests, "I don't want any facts or theories or explanations withheld". Apparently Jindal doesn't comprehend the significant differences between facts, theories, and explanations. Intelligent design is largely an attempt to explain the origin of our world and its inhabitants by simply assailing the gaps that exist in the huge body of evidence supporting the theory of evolution.
Perhaps we should also require schools to teach children that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are reasonable explanations for the gifts they receive on Christmas and Easter...and that mom and dad could actually be lying when they admit that they played those roles.
