Huckabee and Brownback were all given an opportunity to further explain why they believe in creationism versus evolution.  Huckabee tried to say that the issue shouldn’t matter for people voting for a president and “wasn’t there” so he doesn’t know how old the earth is, while Brownback said that reason and faith aren’t mutually exclusive.  All I can say is, people who aren’t evangelical Christians are going to be distanced by anyone that denies the scientific process and values faith over logic and reason.  We’ve already had one president who said god told him to invade Iraq.  I don’t have a problem with a president who talks to god, but I have a problem with one who thinks that god talks back.  In the general election, Huckabee and Brownback have just given millions of Americans reason to vote against them.

Yup. The veils fell from my eyes during the Terri Schiavo affair, when certain people were making a medical diagnosis from edited videos and jumping on helicopters to overrule legally constituted state courts. no more, thank you, I have had it with that. No to Huckabee, and no to Brownback. They are fringe candidates who fail to realize that our disenchantment with GWB tends to spill over into disenchantment with GWBs beliefs and positions. try again after we have a few years to forget.

I suspect that there were more on the panal that agree with them. At least they had the guts to be honest.
btw, i love the "wasnt there" arguement.classic

"I don't have a problem with a president who talks to god, but I have a problem with one who thinks that god talks back."

Amen.
