Evolution is hardly the definition of “modernizing”.
Humanity will turn back to it’s proper place in God’s creation, or will continue it’s slide into anarchy and Chaos.
There is no policy of government that SHOULD in any way be effected by one’s personal belief in the origin of man. However, to the degree that one might suggest that what a person believes should be judged in order to take a measure of the person, my response would be to reject those who reject God and his plan and purpose.
Fortunately for the athiests, agnostics, and other incorrect-believers, that is not what I, or a majority of people, use to judge our fellow man when it comes to choosing a representative, or making a purchase, or hiring for service.
So my warning is, don’t push it. We are a great nation because the believing community has determined that allowing plurality of beliefs is better for our own belief system. The more uninformed bigots push to minimize or restrict the correct view of the world by dismissing it as non-modern, or backwards, the more those with the true belief will have to assert their rights and place in our society.
And that would be? (A genuine question, not a dare)
