Evolution and USA presidential elections

The Confessions of the Darwinist Niles Eldredge telling about Ronald Reagan campaign is also a reminder how politically important evolution is also today when US Christian believers go to presidential polls with the crowds.

Evolution may not become an issue for debate between the candidates. Sarah Palin's comments on dinosaurs and people living together in perfect harmony are still fresh in memory. The theme is in the background and  Christian leaders may suggest that the position a presidential candidate takes on the thorny issue of teaching creationism in public schools is also a measure of his or her commitment to the Bible.

The political importance of the evolution-creation debate explains why Niles Eldredge decided to write a book on the subject as recently as in 2000.

And why it is so essential that Christians take seriously the lies Creationists are spreading in the name of defending the Scriptures - they twist both the Bible and the Nature God has created.
