Ron Paul Doesn’t Accept Evolution

The one and only anti-war Republican presidential candidate didn’t
raise his hand when asked who doesn’t believe in evolution, but it
turns out he may have wanted to. In this clip, Paul responds to a
question about the incident by saying that it was an “inappropriate
question,” but that “I think it’s a theory -- theory of evolution -- and
I don’t accept it.”

Paul hasn’t been hiding his religious convictions. He wrote back in
2003 that the "secular Left" has been waging a war on religion and
Christmas and that "[t]he notion of a rigid separation between church
and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the
writings of our Founding Fathers."

And in case you think Truthdig has nothing nice to say about Ron Paul,
read our own voice from the “secular Left,” Truthdig Editor Robert
Scheer -- who believes in the separation of church and state, it’s
true—cheering for the libertarian from Texas.

Hat tip for the clip and the war-on-religion article goes to The
Largest Minority.
