[[Image:Conf_Navy_Jack.png|thumb|right|500px|The [[Confederate States of America]] relied heavily on creationism to justify [[racism]] and [[slavery]]. Confederate Vice President [[Alexander H. Stephens]] said in his famous "[[Cornerstone Speech]]" that opponents of slavery "were attempting to make things equal which the [[Jesus Christ|Creator]] had made unequal. ... [Slavery] is, indeed, in conformity with the ordinance of the Creator. It is not for us to inquire into the wisdom of His ordinances, or to question them. For His own purposes, He has [[Intelligent Design|made]] one race to differ from another, as He has made 'one star to differ from another star in glory.'" The Confederate President [[Jefferson Davis]] said that slavery "was established by decree of Almighty God... it is sanctioned in the [[Bible]], in both Testaments, from [[Genesis]] to [[Revelation]]... it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts."]]If California's Proposition 8 passes, the following text would be added to the text of Section 7.5 of Article I of the California Constitution:  ''Only marriage between a man and a woman is recognized in California.'' <ref>Voter Information Guide, ''Proposition 8'' [http://www.voterguide.sos.ca.gov/text-proposed-laws/text-of-proposed-laws.pdf#prop8]</ref>
