My friend Chad at CCK has produced evidence that Senator Thune does not believe in evolution. From Newsweek:
Thune, 43, 6 feet 4 and tan, with the good looks of a television anchor, doesn't drink, smoke or swear. An evangelical Christian, he does not believe in evolution.
As Chad acknowledges, it is a pretty small piece of evidence: one sentence buried in a story about Thune's views of marriage. But I am inclined to think that the Newsweek reporter had something to back it up, so I will take Chad's claim in an earlier post as provisionally confirmed. Chad is responding to my post on intelligent design.
I do not think it surprising that Senator Thune doesn't believe in evolution. That is the default position for evangelical Christians. As I have said, I think this rejection is wrong as a matter of science. I also think it is wrong theologically and a bad strategy politically.
