I, too, want to know if Palin zealously believes that dinosaurs existed a mere 4,000 years ago.

even if it's a 1 in 20 chance, or a 1 in a 100, there are plenty of people who are doing jobs who are in high powered positions. Sumner Redstone comes to mind since he's 85 and still is involved int he day to day operations of one of the most prominent media companies on the planet.
While it's always a possibility, I'm not sold on the idea of the fear aspect of this. To me that's just stupidity in a glass.
