"US doomed if creationist president elected"

Say the scientists of NAS. Well, no shit Sherlock:
"The logic that convinces us that evolution is a fact is the same logic we use to say smoking is hazardous to your health or we have serious energy policy issues because of global warming," University of Michigan professor Gilbert Omenn told reporters at the launch of a book on evolution by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).

"I would worry that a president who didn't believe in the evolution arguments wouldn't believe in those other arguments either. This is a way of leading our country to ruin," added Omenn, who was part of a panel of experts at the launch of "Science, Evolution and Creationism."
Fortunately, Huckabee doesn't have a snowball's chance of getting anywhere near the White House. After the NH debates last night, I'm starting to wonder if any Republican does.
