I guess I am just really really big on my child knowing there is more than one "theory" out there, same with religion or lack of it or sex ed, our children NEED to know that there is more than just "one way" out there.

Certainly, and believe me, I intend to introduce our future kids to all the different kinds of religion that are out there. I'll take them around to churches, mosques, synagogues, Buddhist temples, and the rest--and I honestly don't know a lot of people who do that. Do you really want them to know about ALL of the different views out there, or just the Christian one vs. the "scientific" one? Because there are tons of different creation stories, all from different backgrounds, with different gods involved... if they are going to be taught creationism, I would prefer that they be taught ALL forms of creationism, from all religions, as a set class. And that would fall under world history or literature in school, not biology. I don't want my kids to lose jobs to scientists and engineers from other countries, just because they were taught that evolution might not be true. That just sets America further and further back in terms of our intelligence and scientific achievements.

Really? Even if you were running for one of the most important positions in the world, and you knew that millions of people would be watching you and taking every word you said very seriously?... that's the problem I have with Sarah Palin. She might be like "every American," but that's not who I want in office. I want someone who answers the question directly, without making snide remarks or avoiding the question.
