Re: 2012 US presidential race

Well, I don't want to be 'that guy' again, but there are different ways to 
reject evolution. You could be opposed to Darwin's theory only (still believing 
in 'change over time') or be generally opposed to the idea of evolution 
entirely (no old earth). Either way, evolution/creation debates are not a big 
issue and only waste time and energy. Wish RIchard Dawkins realized that...

BTW,  I don't answer my e-mail a lot. Am only on sporadically (not a lot of 
free time). Just letting you know

You are incorrect. Data show that the majority of Republicans reject
evolution:

68% of Republicans reject evolution.
