One of my passions is keeping up with creationist (and I include Intelligent Design here) attempts to change what science is. They wish to supplant the reason and evidence that is the basis for good science with faith instead – specifically their faith.
Sometimes, actually often, it can become discouraging looking at how many battles must be fought to ensure our schools continue to teach good science; listening to all the politicians expressing their ignorance of science by expressing doubts about evolution; and seeing all the letters and forum responses from those who let their religion totally blind their ability to reason and fairly judge evidence.
For example, consider these quotes from various prominent politicians:

Explanation:
Wetlands are defined as those areas where the land area is mostly covered by water seasonally or annually. The areas remain wet. Freshwater wetlands are a type of biome that is not connected to the ocean. They are found mainly along the boundaries of rivers, streams, and lakes. The water in the freshwater wetland is generally evaporated during the summer season.
This biome is highly rich in nutrients that provide a favorable site for the existence of numerous plants and animal species. The leaves that are detached from the trees are deposited within the soils and also captures and accumulates the organic materials that are eliminated from the large trees within this region.
