Evolution Not 'Just a Theory', and Yes, Huckabee It Does Matter | Wired Science from Wired.com

Rated 4 stars out of 5.

Huckabee says it "doesn't matter" whether he believes in evolution or not, with regard to his presidential candidacy. But he's missing the point: a president will be signing science research budgets into law and getting advice from scientists on topics like terrorism, the environment, and medicine. If he is willing to ignore data that has been proven via science (like the fact that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, not 6,000), will he also ignore other research and advice from top scientists? It *does* matter. We need to know if Huckabee believes in the scientific process, because how he does major parts of his job will depend on the answer.
