If the Republicans chose a candidate with any YEC, or LG tendencies, we can kiss the White House goodbye. Its like having a crazy relative, you just got to laugh and try to keep them out of earshot.
Oh you mean that if we had a candidate like Ronald Reagan we wouldn't stand a chance.
"Following a speech to a fundamentalist coalition in Dallas in 1980, then Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan held a press conference at which he was asked if he thought the theory of evolution should be taught public schools. He replied, "Well, it's a theory, it is a scientific theory only, and it has in recent years been challenged in the world of science and is not yet believed in the scientific community to be as infallible as it once was believed. But if it was going to be taught in the schools, then I think that also the biblical theory of creation, which is not a theory, but the biblical story of creation, should also be taught" (Science, 1980, 209: 1214)."
Source was an atheist site not a creationist site
Or maybe George W. Bush who endorsed teaching intelligent design.
Let's see, is there a recent president who embraced evolution? That's right Jimmy Carter. Maybe conservatives should embrace a presidential candidate like Jimmy Carter? Is that what you are saying?
