Honestly, though, Ron Paul's beliefs on evolution aren't really extraordinary at all compared to his Republican opponents, and they're not at all what I'm most worried about in him.


That's the best part of your post.  :)

The thing about evolution is that in politics, "evolution" does not refer specifically to the theory of evolution, it refers to a view of the universe.  The common misconception (which Paul seems to have) is that you either believe in evolution or you believe in God, but not both.  I think what his response most reveals is that he simply hasn't spent time examining the theory of evolution from a scientific perspective, which in no way invalidates him as a Presidential candidate for me.
