Sad to see the republican party so out of touch on this.
OK..I’ll bite...I believe both theories can be true...who is to say that a day from the bible is one of our 24 hour days....just because you believe one can’t the other be plausible as well??? Donning flame resistant attire now!
One wonders why the elevation of this issue when there is no legislation pending.
Someone really wants the Republican party associated with creationism.
Where do illegal immigrants stand on this issue?

It’s not called the Stupid Party for nothing.
So time does not exist!
Evolution is a big subject. There's micro and there's macro. There's the question of evolution and intelligent design both working in tandem. There's the notion that evolution can be defined as mild genetic changes (more red-heads now then there were 50 years ago). So?
Asking someone "Do you believe in evolution?" is just not a good question.
So: Why is it asked?
Answer: Because it's one way to make Christians look bad and unelectable.
You can count me in that number. The truth is that the vast majority of Americans believe that God created the heavens and the earth, but as with all the other issues like gay marriage, the death penalty and abortion, liberals just can’t accept that. If you want hardcore liberalism, move to Europe or Canada.
A majority of Republicans reject evolution because evolution is simply not scientific - it's a philosophy used to interpret data in a certain way, but it is one which relies upon circular reasoning, wishful thinking, and inferences from unsupported speculation. Republicans rightly reject evolution specifically because Republicans are clear-headed people who think for themselves. Evolution is a philosophy for people who unthinkingly believe whatever they were told to believe in the dumbed-down government schools - schools where critical thinking and actual examination of the claims of a theory or belief are never taught.
Think about it, folks. There's a reason the evolutionists hyperventilate at the mere thought that ID or creationism might even be mentioned in a public school, much less included as a part of the curricula. It's because evolutionists are afraid to have to actually put their belief system up on trial and have it questioned. Evolution receives much the same hallowed status in American public schools as "scientific socialism" did in Soviet schools - it's a truism, and and any debate must be stifled.
One would think that if evolution were really supported by independent facts and reason, that evolutionists would just be chomping at the bit to pit it against creationism in the schools - what a great way to show the kids how stupid those creationists are, and how superior and correct evolution is. The fact that evolutionists are afraid to do that, and want discussion on the subject limited to a very narrowly defined set of talking points speaks volumes.
Religious views aside....it’s a big leap for me to believe in evolution. Too many gaps and holes big enough to drive a truck through.
Kinda like global warming...they can’t even predict this weekend’s weather, yet they’re trying to convince us they know exactly how many degrees it will warm to in 10-25 year!
A little common sense goes a long way in these matters~
I believe in Evolution !!
Republicans? All varieties of people disregard Darwinism.
Many biologists and physicists are skeptical as well. Darwin’s theory is just that-—a theory. Not fact as some evo dummies like to posit for some bizarre anti Christian reason.
I’m going to actually dispute the results of this poll. I just don’t think they are accurate. The way they asked the question probably implied that you either believe God creates the universe or that evolution happened, probably didn’t allow for the idea that Evolution was guided by the hand of God, the official Catholic position
