Our Federal minister for education is a hack, a disgrace, and an idiot.

The controversial theory of "intelligent design" has won the qualified backing of Education Minister Brendan Nelson, who says it should be taught in schools alongside evolution if that is the wish of parents.

...

"Do I think it should be a replacement for teaching the origins of mankind in a scientific sense? I most certainly don't think that it should be at all. In fact, I'd be quite concerned if it were to replace it," said Dr Nelson, who is a medical doctor and a Christian.

"Do I think that parents and schools should have the opportunity — if they wish to — for students also to be exposed to this and to be taught about it? Yes I think that's fine," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, students can be taught and should be taught the basic science in terms of the evolution of man, but if schools also want to present students with intelligent design, I don't have any difficulty with that. It's about choice, reasonable choice."

Science, amazingly enough, is not a popularity contest. And you'd think that someone who used to be a doctor and the head of the FUCKING AUSTRALIAN FUCKING MEDICAL FUCKING ASSOCIATION would know that.

After all, it's not like the theory of evolution has helped us in the area of medical science at all.

Join us next week, when Brendan Nelson joins the HIV denial club, in a desperate attempt to shore up his chances of one day maybe being prime minister, rather than his current predestined fate to die a lonely death after a post-political career as a jizz-mopper.
