I'm beginning to see why so many people like Perry. He doesn't dismiss evolution and there is not anything wrong with his statement that evolution is a theory and there are some gaps:
On Thursday, in New Hampshire, Perry told a woman and her son that he regarded evolution as "a theory that's out there" and one that's "got some gaps in it.”
When a woman in South Carolina congratulated him for his remarks Friday, Perry replied “Well, God is how we got here. God may have done it in the blink of the eye or he may have done it over this long period of time, I don't know. But I know how it got started."
The majority of the US believes in one nation under God and the right to practice the religion of your choice. Where but the US would you see a candidate like Perry alongside Romney? The nation is finally tiring of the lib agenda to end religion instead of allowing freedom of religion. You are wrong, his views are a Perry strength, not a weakness. The ONLY place where his religious views trouble me is in terms of stem cell research. While this is very near and dear to my life, when we are in this financial mess with no plan at all to improve it, when there is someone in office intent to level the US to the status of other nations, this is a small issue in comparison.
