But I also believe, when I hike the Grand Canyon and see it at sunset, that the hand of God is there also." At least McCain had a reasonable answer on the topic: “I believe in evolution.

I mean- we expect that crap from Brownback, Huckabee and Tancredo (who also claim not be believe in evolution). But Paul's a doctor for fuck's sake. An ob/gyn even. Doesn't he find it the least bit revealing that all animals- including humans- reproduce the same way? We've all got the same parts- mammals at least- doing the same thing. Squirrels, Pandas, Rats, Tigers, Monkeys and Humans. You'd think they would have taught him that in medical school.

Dr. Paul essentially said that he rejects the scientific method. Sorry - that's tantamount to a disqualification if you want my vote.
