<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It is because Bush regards science as a philosophy instead of a method for deriving information and understanding about the physical world, he sees it as something that can be bent to accommodate one's personal interests and agenda? it can?t. He has no understanding of science and therefore these types of things are bound to happen when one doesn't understand the boundaries and domain of where philosophy, politics, religion, and science reside. There is a difference between being bullheaded and ignorant, and being strong-willed and having an informed conviction. Bush is in the first category."Successful application of science has played a large part in the policies that have made the United States of America the world's most powerful nation and its citizens increasingly prosperous and healthy ... Indeed, this principle has long been adhered to by presidents and administrations of both parties in forming and implementing policies. The administration of George W. Bush has, however, disregarded this principle ... The distortion of scientific knowledge for partisan political ends must cease." Bush completely ignored this statement.
