Unfortunately the 2012 Presidential campaigns are in full swing. Of course once again, ignorance, hypocrisy, and even science (pseudoscience) are at the center of it all.

If case you missed that, Bachmann said:

I support intelligent design… What I support is putting all science on the table and then letting students decide. I don’t think it’s a good idea for government to come down on one side of a scientific issue or another, when there’s is reasonable doubt on both sides.

There is no reasonable doubt that evolution has taken place or even that all life on this planet is descended from a common ancestor. The only doubt that exists is an unreasonable, faith based rejection of the evidence.

If she wants to push ID, then she’s deciding what is and what isn’t science. Unfortunately for her, ID is not science. With a statement like that Bachmann is either ignorant or a hypocrite.
