Well, first, I thought it was a very inappropriate question, y'know? For our--for the presidency to be decided on a scientific matter. And I, uh, I think it's a theory--theory of evolution. And I don't accept it. Y'know? As a theory. But I think the creator that I know, uh... y'know, created us, every one of us, created the universe. And the precise time and manner, and, uh, and all.... I-I just don't think we're at a point where anybody has absolute proof on either side.
Well, no. Nobody has "absolute" proof. But then again, that's an completely unreasonable goal, and a standard to which no other field of science is held. So no, we don't have "absolute proof". What we do have is a brobdingnagian amount of evidence, including thousands of fossils, showing time and again gradual changes between species; the similarities in form and genetic make-up that all point to common descent; countless studies and published and peer-reviewed papers; innumerable predictions that would be expected if evolution were true and were later confirmed.
And on the other side? We have a bunch of whining twits who've elevated a millenia-old book of fables to the flawless template from which all knowledge must be stamped, and whose biggest objection to evolution is that they don't understand it.
Gee. I wonder which one we should teach our kids?
