Thanks, Wolfgang and robomatic.

Some points:

    It is a religious concept that man has a soul. Apes do not. I feel it is disrespectful to devout religious people to call "man" a slightly improved ape.

   If someone believes that the Universe (including the process of evolution) was created by a higher power, that is a statement of faith. You cannot prove or disprove it, and attacking such a person is abusive.

   As to the origional post, what President Gearge W. Bush thinks about evolution is not important. If his opinions work their way into legislation, support or oppose such a bill on substance.
