Yes, I do remember Sara Palin being attacked for her religious beliefs...Matt Damon comes to mind.
Are you seriously asserting we should care about what hollyweirdos think of us?
The question he asked - is Sarah Palin a Creationist? - is valid. That was never settled.
You're attempting to frame this in a "cultural war" context, which simply isn't valid.
This is about science. Politics has little, if anything, to do with it.
Much like climate change, people are mixing different worlds.
There is the issue of the science and then there is the issue of the politics. These are two separate worlds.
Accepting the reality of the science doesn't mean you're rejecting God (in the case of evolution) or that you want to dictate what kind of car a person drives (in the case of climate change).
