That apparently only three of the candidates apparently claimed to be creationists, and all were marginal and irrelevant figures, gives me hope for the Republican Party, actually.
And what might that hope be? that they’re looking more and more like Democraps ???
it makes me quite sad. We can agree to disagree, but evolutionism only validates our culture of death and amorality.
If we were not created, then owe nothing to a creator, and have no rules to follow. Anyone’s morals or lack thereof are equally valid, as they all evolved from the same system. Hence abortion, euthanasia, stem cell research and the like are not morally depraved choices, but just continuing evolution. This leads to moral decline and eventually the death of our society.
For me, this is more background that indicates strongly that religious, social conservatives should form their own caucus within the Republican Party. In the long run, it is best to know the size and impact of social conservative support within the party. It’s best for the party to know and it’s best for the social conservatives to know.
They didn’t claim to be creationists - if by that you mean biblical creationists, although they may in fact be that. They just said they don’t believe in evolution, at least not as it’s defined in textbooks.
