Here's a video where Ron Paul proclaims that he doesn't believe the Theory of Evolution. Unfortunately there's no followup question to find out whether he believes the facts of evolution. Why can Ron Paul make such a nonsensical statement and still be considered as someone who might be the "Leader of the Free World" (sic)? It's because of decades of brainwashing by creationists who blatantly ignore the science behind evolutionary biology and the distinction between fact and scientific theory.
I'm trying to understand the behavior of the creationists. It seems to me that there are only two possibilities; either they are completely stupid and ignorant or they are lying. There doesn't seem to be any other explanation. In the case of the most prominent creationists, I'm inclined to believe they are lying because I know for a fact they've read up on Evolution Is a Fact and a Theory.
This doesn't apply to Ron Paul, by the way. I don't think he's lying.
[Hat Tip: Pharyngula: Ron Paul gets no respect. I think this is a video from 2008.
