I highly doubt that he doesn't believe in science... ;-) I have never yet met anyone in this society who managed to pass Grade 4 who did not believe in science, regardless of their religious bent. Science and money ARE the ruling religions in North America and EVERYONE believes in them.

I don't, frankly, see how his silly belief that the world is only 6,000 years old....though it is a ridiculous belief...would interfere in his ability to make decisions about foreign or domestic policy at this time. It wouldn't make a particle of difference to any such decision. ;-)

It doesn't basically matter if he believes the world is 6,000 years old. It can't materially affect present decisions regarding present political issues.

I've seen Huckabee speak. He's not a stupid man. He's not a gibbering idiot or a drooling moron or a raving fanatic. He's probably about as intelligent and well-informed as most of the other people running for office right now...not necessarilly ALL of them...

This is not to say that I support his candidacy. I don't. But you cannot dismiss a man merely on the basis of his belief that the world is 6,000 years old.

Not unless it really pushes your buttons...!!! Eh, Rinslinger? LOL!

Look, I've met people who believe the world is only 6,000 years old...and without exception, they all BELIEVE in science. They just think that some of the present scientific theories and methods are in error regarding one matter: the age of the planet. In other words, they believe almost all the scientific thought that is presently out there, but they disagree with one or two specific tenets of the current scientific consensus, and that's all.
