I'm reading that blog entry a little different. She appears to be advocating to allow the debate and discussion of both. I didn't read anything that shows her as completely supporting creationism instead of evolution. It reads like she's trying to be politically correct as not to offend either camp: "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of education. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both." Asked by the Anchorage Daily News whether she believed in evolution, Palin declined to answer, but said that "I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class." "I'm not going to pretend I know how all this came to be," she said. I don't think I would want it to be taught as an "equal" alternative, but she's right, a healthy (and controlled) debate about a socially sensitive subject could be a healthy and useful life skill to develop. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
