The creation vs science question has a major bearing on a rather visible government program:

Isn’t the primary rationale for most of the space program to learn more about the origins of life? Some would say that exploration of Mars and the moons of Saturn will help us shed light on these eternal mysteries. Others would point out that all we need to know can be found in the book that’s available in every hotel room.

How can it be that the Bush Administration, which advocates pushing toward manned travel to Mars, hasn’t acknowledged that its space program objectives are inconsistent with the creationist views?

Secularists have been causing trouble since Galileo.
