Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania Senator and current Republican Presidential hopeful has come out openly in favor of teaching creationism, saying "It's very interesting that you have a situation where science will only allow things in the classroom that are consistent with a non-Creator idea of how we got here, as if somehow or another that's scientific. Well maybe the science points to the fact that maybe science doesn't explain all these things. And if it does point to that, then why don't you pursue that? But you can't, because it's not science, but if science is pointing you there how can you say it's not science? It's worth the debate."
It's hard to figure out what to even make of this. Santorum does not seem to understand what the definition of science even is. God may exist, but God is NOT a scientific question. God is not verifiable, falsifiable, nor does it offer any predictive value. His ignorance of the scientific method is quite stunning actually, and it just goes to show he cannot be trusted to make rational decisions for the entire United States. Intellectual competency does matter!
