That was my question.
I don’t think there are any ways to answer and avoid the trap, but we will see, because he will be asked that question, or similar questions.
How about this one:
“The underlying, implied question is bigger than evolution. The underlying question is whether or not God exists. Some academics have misled the public with the suggestion that evolution disproves God. But this is not a logical conclusion. Because if God exists, then any mechanism of life—including how animal species come to exist—is possible within the realm of God’s power. In other words, the polarized, politicized evolution question is a sort of straw man established by those with little faith in the durability of their own ideology. Ultimately, they’ll be the ones hiding in political fear from the question of divine existence.
Personally I have a very strong faith in the Creator God. And I know that God is the source of all liberty. As President of the United States, I intend to do my best to ensure that all American citizens have the same access to our Constitutional system of liberty.”
