I don't know about fact v theory, but how about superstition:
"An irrational belief arising from ignorance or fear."
I would say ID stems from ignorance and Christian Creationism from both ignorance and fear. Now relating back to the topic at hand, I would say Mr. Bush is about the most ignorant president in at least a hundred years.
Anybody read the main story in today's Washington Post? (Sunday) "White House Lowers Expectations for Iraq" After reading the article, I couldn't help wondering who is going to break the news to Mr. Bush. I don't think it's going to go over very well with him. History teaches us that leaders with his "mindset" don't take well to being contradicted by anyone, particularly their own staff. My own opinion is that our fearless leader has some rather deep psychological issues. My guess would be that he responds by lashing out at whoever he thinks is behind the article. Then again, I’m assuming someone on his staff has the courage to actually tell him about the story, since he doesn’t read newspapers himself.
