Certainly not. But we have not reached the limits of science nor do we understand everything to be certain. But I lean towards Evolution and would bet on it. Simply because I can question and challenge things as opposed to creationism that requires people to accept it without question.
I saw the falsehood of creationism series which is worth checking out

Why can't we in America have more of these? I would especially like to be the middle aged man in the first video :-)

President Bush's Accomplishments
http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/bushrecord/documents/legacybooklet.pdf
Sure he can say and claim whatever he wants. Since folks cannot annotate and comment on the document, it would be a one sided story always. Not sure if he read the report on his own accomplishments! He is not a big reader as folks say.
I consider him a colossal failure for leaving this great nation in shambles as he is ready to leave office. Don't know if I will ever have any true respect for him for what he has done as I lived during his time. No historian or revelations can change the facts or the realities that I lived through!
I wish for the return of America that is prior to his presidency. I am betting my hopes on Obama. Lets see what the future holds for this once great nation.

Book of the Month: Nickel and dimed
http://www.amazon.com/Nickel-Dimed-Not-Getting-America/dp/0805088385/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1230536381&sr=8-1
This is an absolute must read! The author goes undercover to discover the plight of low wage workers in America. I read this over Christmas in 3 days and after reading it, I appreciate what I have and the life style that I enjoy! After reading it, I have this great urge to help the less fortunate. My 2009's new year resolution is to do something to the 10's of millions of Americans who can't even make a decent living. I will write about it next year when I have actually done something.
Stay tuned

Is there any hope for peace?
Destruction continues in Gaza
Is there any hope for peace? I sure think not since the Israel/palentine conflict has evolved beyond the fight for the land. Many in the world would want the status quo for their benefit. This includes US, Arab nations and european nations as well.
As for the events that are un-folding, it seems that Israel's response seems appropriate given the barrage of rockets fired into Israel though there were no human casualities.
UPDATE: It looks like the jury is out there on who broke the ceasefire. I cannot believe so many failed to mention this.
But viewing the recent escalation with a narrow time scale actually makes palentinians look bad which I refuse to do. I still strongly believe that the conflict can be resolved by Israel any time by dismantling the Israeli settlements in the occupied territory and moving back to 1967 borders as UN mandated (and Israel has chosen to ignore UN resolutions against it till to date). I strongly believe that palentinians have the right to fight for their land which is theirs just as Israel is defending its territory.
Can President elect Obama make peace in middle east? I really doubt it. All he can do or would do is to try and dis-entangle US from the complicated conflict and restore faith as an honest broker. Then it would be up to Israel to negotiate its terms. I pray for that day and would do anything in my capacity to contribute to that in a right full way.
