It's hardly an unimportant question for numerous reasons. The last time the U.S. had a christian nutjob for a president he led us into what for him is a holy war. In addition, Science is the future. Anyone who aspires to the highest office in the land needs to have a complete grasp of what Science has done for mankind and what it can do in the future. If you want to create jobs and new industries...FUND SCIENCE !!! Something tells me this guy wouldn't get that.

@Demingosan It doesn't matter if you "believe" in evolution. Evolution is not a matter for faith. It's not dogma, it's not doctrine, it's not holy mandate. Evolution is the product of two centuries of scientific inquiry, carried out by thousands of qualified professionals.

Evolution is fact, whether you like it or not. To deny it is insane, just as it would be insane to deny the existence of computers because they're never mentioned in your Bible..

@maryjane1384 Give you a break ? Something tells me you're too uneducated and/or dumb to understand my comment. I bet you'd even vote for Mitt Romney who believes that "his" god lives on a fictional planet named Kolob.

@TysicJC The funny thing about all of this is that I am an evolutionist. I call Creationism the "Ah La Peanut Butter Sandwiches!" explanation of life on Earth and rank it at about a .001% probability of being accurate. But, I am careful not to misclassify Evolution as 100% correct because it simply hasn't gotten that far yet. Though I do rank it at about 90% probability of being accurate. The 10% is there for fine tuning and filling in the blanks.

@TysicJC Here's the big difference. The world is PROVEN to be round. 10,000 scientists from all over the world can perform identical measurements and get identical results. On the other hand, Evolution works really well once life exists on Earth, but has a difficult time explaining exactly how life got started. There simply is no evidence in the fossil record of those early pre-life building blocks like amino acids, etc. So, we're left with educated speculation, no one knows for sure

@MLATX512 My point is that if people held the same differing opinions about, say, the fact that earth is round, I don't think you'd pander to them and say, well that's the best guess we have according to the available evidence. You wouldn't hesitate to call them definitively wrong. No need to pander to idiots, I'm sorry.

Science is all....

@fukinblowme Give me a break....

Science is great. God is greater. When you stop worshiping yourselves and pretending like there is no accountability for you actions, out country will be in a much better place.

@MLATX512 Despite my spelling mistakes and poor use of punctuation. :)

@TysicJC That's correct it is agreed to the our best guess at this point, however the theory as we know it today will very likely continue to be refined and sections of it may be completely abandoned in favor of other theories that more accurately take into account new evidence. My whole point being that spittle flecked fanaticism is ugly, no mater which side of the debate you are on. Especially since evolutionary scientists agree that there are still holes.

@TysicJC *no debate, excuse me
