On the radio this morning, I heard one of the Republican candidates for the Presidency of you know where. It seems that following outcry from various scientists and the like, he had decided to moderate his earlier comment that he did not believe in evolution. He now said that all he knew was that God had created the world, but was not too concerned with how, and didn't see that it affected his ability to carry out the duties of the President.
Well, as far as relevance to his duties goes, it would demonstrate a capacity for rational thought. And it would demonstrate that he could take on board uncomfortable information, rather than just pretending the world was the way he wanted it to be and acting accordingly.
So I suppose he was right, at that.
