William, your post displays such a profound misunderstanding of science that 
I would like to hear your explanation of your statement that there is 
something we can call "belief" regarding evolutionary theory and that this 
belief is based on faith. Given the deeply harmful effects of bringing 
religion into our political decisions, I would like to try to understand how 
you reach such understandings, the path you have followed to think that 
evolution is something someone believes in, has to have faith in. If you 
don't want an argument back, I won't argue, just read what you have to say. 
My wife's relatives and one of mine reject evolution as if it somehow 
conflicts with religious beliefs when in fact it doesn't. The theory of 
gravitation, the theory of evolution are simply explanations, very refined 
ones but just explanations. They don't require revelations or magic or gods, 
just evidence that can be tested. So I wonder how we get voters who think 
their religious beliefs should affect our political process. You may address 
that in your reply to me, if you are so kind as to make one. I am truly 
puzzled and worried about the future of our country given the possibility 
that a Perry or a Huckabee or a Bachmann could become president and destroy 
the foundations of science in this country.
