Palin and her followers will disagree, of course, on the grounds that since archeologists place the Stone Age about 700,00 years ago and therefore 694 thousand years before their world began,

Huh?
What kind of number is 700,00?

Is this cat trying to say Palin is a "young earth" creationist?

That she thinks the earth is 6,000 years old?

Is that true, is that her belief?

Because, although I refuse to cheer-lead for her, I would
certainly vote for her should she run & be nominated.

Unless she believes that load of bunk. That would make her a nutcase.

She has said on the subject, that while she doesn't think that it should be part of the ciriculum if it comes up....

PALIN: “Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. “Healthy debate is so important and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both. And you know, I say this too as the daughter of a science teacher. Growing up with being so privileged and blessed to be given a lot of information on, on both sides of the subject — creationism and evolution. It's been a healthy foundation for me. But don't be afraid of information and let kids debate both sides.”

She has said in her first book something along the lines of that she doesn't think evolution alone is sufficient to create mankind from an ape without the direction of God, or some such.

Not a very pro-science view for the daughter of a science teacher, but apparently the Alaskan GOP is very pro-Creationism and thinks it should be taught (despite such being patently unconstitutional).

See how easy it is for the left to instill doubt?

One little lie tucked in an obscure article...

I know liberals who say this about any Christian...it's just another form of bigotry.

I've had it said about me. They love to mock people of faith with this canard, it really amuses them. (Pictures of Jesus riding Dinosaurs and stuff.)

This writer is intellectually vapid and couldn't think his way out of a paper bag...

If you are a Christian who believes in the Holy Bible, (you know, like Obama says he does), than you have to believe the Earth is only 6,000 Years Old. Sarah Palin is a Christian, therefore...

Do the math, or the Liberal thought process, to come to the Author's conclusions about Palin’s belief system.

Obviously, even though a Liberal claims to be a Christian, he does not really believe in its Biblical teachings. Sarah Palin is the obvious exception to the Liberal “Approved” Christian rule because she lives her life ruled by her beliefs.

It's kind of like the Kennedy's and the Pelosi’s of the world, Catholics all, being the ultimate protectors of Abortion Rights from Inception to the moment of Birth. In Obama’s case, he isn't quite sure that “birth” ends the practice of Abortion.

OTOH, I found this -

After conducting a college band and watching Palin deliver a commencement address to a small group of home-schooled students in June 1997, Wasilla resident Philip Munger said, he asked the young mayor about her religious beliefs. Palin told him that "dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time," Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said "she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks," recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.

I hope it turns out Munger can be discredited for everyone's sake.

FWIW, she is a member of the Assembly of God church in Wasilla.
