Asked by the Anchorage Daily News whether she believed in evolution, Palin declined to answer, but said that "I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class."

McCain's VP Wants Creationism Taught in School | Wired Science from Wired.com

You dumb ass--she wants BOTH evolution and creationism taught. For the purpose of healthy debate.

And for the idiotic statement of the month...

Teaching non-science issues in a science class is not healthy debate, its teaching religion in science class.

This chick is a f***kin retard.

What do you need to be a commander and chief? To be a mayor and a governor of a backwater state for 2 years?


I am just dumbfounded by this choice.

What will she offer as proof that creationism is anything more than a fantasy?

Of course they do, she's just another version of Bush.

Creationism should be taught in church.

I see nothing wrong with BOTH being taught in school. If evolution is being taught in schools why can't creationism be taught in schools as well.

I think they should either teach both or don't teach any of them at all

I disagree. Only creationism should be taught. I think we should strive to dumb down our population...we could become like a backward muslim nation or something.

discussing creationism only illustrates the necessity of the scientific method in SCIENCE. They really are not equal theories.

Creationism is a religious point of view and as all things religious should be kept in it's place.

It is a bizarre choice to say the least.

But never underestimate the stupidity of the American people. They elected George Bush twice.

Evolution is just one mans theoryfrom the 1800's . It has no scientific proof backing it up. Creationism
has been around for thousands of years.And creationism should be taught in schools right
along with evolutionism.If we evolved from apes why are apes still around?.
