(2005-08-04) — Entering the debate over the teaching of origins for the first time, President George Bush today said he sees “no evidence of intelligent design in America’s public schools.”

“A lot folks claim that the public school system is irreducibly complex, so there must have been an intelligent designer,” said Mr. Bush, “But I believe our public schools advance by mutation and random chance. They have evolved into an unwieldy beast with an insatiable appetite.”

The president, a professed Christian, said his only hope for a better future in American education rests on his faith in “the survival of the fittest.”
