For example, a Pew Research Survey in 2013 found that only 43 percent of Republicans believe that humans have evolved over time. During the recent Republican primary season, only Jeb Bush could be found to have ever made a statement expressing belief in the theory of evolution. Several of the candidates were on record stating that they did not accept evolutionary theory. How should scientists react to this? The theory of evolution is the central organizing principle of modern biology. If Republican leaders don't believe it is true, how can scientists support them? Further, public funds in North Carolina are directed at "voucher" schools that teach that the theory of evolution is false. How can we join the party that apportions funds in this way? I couldn't agree more and what makes it worse is the fact that Republicans have made things like the above part of their national platform. ------------------------- I was right.
