McCain on Evolution

[1979Shocker]

McCain talks war, religion, immigration

In the final question of the evening, an audience member asked McCain to outline his stance on teaching evolution and creationism in schools.

"I think Americans should be exposed to every point of view," he said. "I happen to believe in evolution. ... I respect those who think the world was created in seven days. Should it be taught as a science class? Probably not."

Nevertheless, the senator said he does believe in God, and he doesn't think Christian groups have too much influence on the Republican Party.

I can only guess what some would say if Barack Obama said he believed in evolution.

Who's saying he doesn't?

While I don't believe in it, Theistic Evolution is an accepted thought within Christianity.

Good for McCain! Least in this case he's not pandering to the radical right.

Christian groups don't have too much influence on the Republican Party? Has he ever been to Kansas before?
