| + | Howard Dean, M.D., is a former governor of Vermont, Democratic presidential candidate in 2004, and Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. In an interview with Bob Scheiffer of the CBS news program "Face the Nation" on 14 August 2005, [http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081505I.shtml Dean made the following remarks]: | ||

| + | But the truth of the matter is, intelligent design is a religious perception and a religious precept. That's fine. That should be taught wherever religion is taught, if that's the desire of those people who are religious. [...] Science is science. There's no factual evidence for intelligent design. There's an enormous amount of factual evidence for evolution. Those are the facts. If you don't like the facts, then you can fight against them. The Catholic Church fought against Galileo for a great many, many centuries. But it never pays to ignore the facts. [...] The truth is, you can't run a business, a state, a country or a family if you don't care what the facts are. | ||
