Overview
The Bush II administration claims to be pro-science, and often makes gestures to that effect, but they are in fact acting on a deeply anti-scientific agenda – of which evangelism is just a facet (and even that facet is more of a tool towards political ends than it is part of a set of actual beliefs by anyone in the administration).
This contradictory stance is also part of a consistent pattern of hypocrisy within the administration.
