Debate evolves into religious discussion

What can I add to that headline? These people want to be the "Leader of the Free World" and they actually believe that the Genesis myth is literal truth...

I can honestly say that I don't know a single heathen who believes that life was licked into being by the cosmic cow, despite what the lore says. We understand that myth and allegory have meaning on their own terms, and don't need to be taken literally to have power.

<sigh> We're in deep shit ...

During the first GOP presidential debate last month in California, three Republican candidates raised eyebrows by indicating they did not subscribe to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, a widely accepted scientific concept about the origins of life.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
