		<description>Most religious people believe species evolve.  The question is:  why?  Are species designed to evolve?   I think they are.

The problem occurs when Evolution theorizes that life began with a random single cell.  &lt;i&gt;RANDOM SINGLE CELL&lt;/i&gt; is theory, not science.  If a school is going to teach that bit of Evolution Theory, the school ought also teach the theory that life was designed by an intelligence.  I think that is reasonable.

You misappropriated the words of Pope John Paul II.  The Pope did not believe life began with a random single cell. 

You mischaracterized Protestants.  We are not "all about blurring the line between science and religion".  We love science.  It's partly why we delineate between science and theory.

I read Jindal's answer.   "Governor Jindal began to make a case that creationism or Intelligent Design should be taught...." is a rhetorical overstatement.  In the interview, Gov. Jindal was specifically asked about Evolution and Intelligent Design.  He responded sensitively,  thoughtfully, and moderately.</description>
