What Sam Brownback thinks about evolution
May 31st, 2007Republican presidential candidate Sam Brownback addresses the issue of evolution in an opinion piece in today’s New York Times.
Ultimately, on the question of the origins of the universe, I am happy to let the facts speak for themselves. There are aspects of evolutionary biology that reveal a great deal about the nature of the world, like the small changes that take place within a species. Yet I believe, as do many biologists and people of faith, that the process of creation — and indeed life today — is sustained by the hand of God in a manner known fully only to him. It does not strike me as anti-science or anti-reason to question the philosophical presuppositions behind theories offered by scientists who, in excluding the possibility of design or purpose, venture far beyond their realm of empirical science.
Brownback nailed it with this one.
I would support this man as the republican presidental candidate. It sure is good to hear a politictian speak to the public about the truths of Gods Holy Word.
