This strikes me as a somewhat reasonable explanation of the scary “I don’t believe in evolution” hand raising at the Republican debate the other night:

“I believe that the Creation has a creator. I believe there is a God. And I believe God put this whole creative process in motion. How he did it and the time frame in which he did it, I honestly don’t know. Nor do I think it’s relevant to being president of the United States…I’m going to leave the scientists to debate the intricacies of how it happened and when it happened because I simply don’t know. But I believe that rather than all this being just some accident that happened, there was a design, and a designer in the design.”

I’d feel comfortable with a creationist as president (don’t we have one now?) so long as his creationism remained separate from his public policy, particularly in education. I have a hunch Huckabee’s opposition to a nationalized school curriculum would preclude him from advancing Intelligent Design into our biology classrooms.
