Well any candidate for president has to be a Christian in the US or they wouldn't stand a chance. It shouldn't be like that but it is. It should be about issues and who has competence to run the country.gp32rich said:From the article I quoted - Palin is a creationist and Obama and McCain are 'on the fence' <_<
Neither want's to stand on either side and lose votes
Not a clue where they or Obama's veep actually stand
(But I'm sure that someone will enlighten me)
Creationists believe that evolution is a disprovable theory because they can't see it happening experimentally and think that a scientist's open mind to being wrong is a failing of the science where their closed mind view is the source of them being right, because they can't see a full and proper scientific explanation.
[Ask any scientist if they are 100% sure and they have to say 'no']
That is why creationists want it taught along-side evolution in science class. They want equality at a scientific level because proper scientific process has to allow their theory.
Creationists are an electorally powerful group that can make a candidate appear weaker by losing votes in some states, thus affecting the voting in other states, so candidates have to appease them.
Scientists, on the other hand, aren't.
Actually you CAN see evolution happening experimentally. They run experiments using bacteria all of the time (because they reproduce fast and in great numbers) and it 100% shows evolution unfolding right in front of you (that is why flu germs become resistant to drugs). That is what a "strain" is. That is in real time. Then you have all of the historical evidence like fossils etc.
Creationists want creationism taught in schools because they want to further their agenda, which is to convert everyone to their belief. They want it taught along side science because science is a reality and they want to legitimize their belief. The big problem with that is the one fact: Creationism is not science it is a belief, period.
