Apparently religious freedom is not valued? There are a lot of sometimes strange values in many religions, get over it.

ANCHORAGE -- Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago -- about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct -- the teacher said.
After conducting a college band and watching Palin deliver a commencement address to a small group of home-schooled students in June 1997, Wasilla resident Philip Munger said, he asked the young mayor about her religious beliefs.
Palin told him that "dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time," Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said "she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks," recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.
...must of been McCain (talking about the part italicized).

I really hope they ask her about this in the debate.

I'm referring to her willingness to ignore scientific evidence. I don't see how it's possible to say that a willingness to ignore scientific evidence won't have a negative impact on her governance.
fair enough... however, to make a truly valid point, you'd need to provide evidence that she ignored scientific evidence while serving Alaska, and that doing so negatively impacted a particular policy.
Otherwise, isn't it conjecture?

I think history will judge Palin as the plague rat of McCain's campaign.
I've seen more smart conservatives reject McCain because of Palin than accept him.
The Stockton Record, a daily that has endorsed the Republican candidate every year since 1936 just released their endorsement for Obama. Palin was cited as one of the few key reasons for their historic choice.
OK then, please explain the connection between that decision and her religious beliefs -- ie. the topic of this thread.Originally posted by: Throckmorton
She ignores scientific evidence by instituting a wolf bounty program and when that failed, instituting aerial wolf hunting.

btw, I'm a wolf lover, so trust me, that really pisses me off... but, I'm just not sure it has anything to do with her religion, which is what we're talking about. So please explain...
OK.. so... the issue has nothing to do with her religion?Originally posted by: eskimospy

Willingness to ignore scientific evidence? If you can believe dinosaurs and man walked the earth together with all the evidence against it, you can certainly discount what some scientist says about wolves.

Why in the world are we taking what some random yahoo off the street says as gospel and running with it?
I could make up a story about how I met with Michelle Obama five years ago and she kept saying "When my husband is President, whitey is going down!" and it would be just as credible as this.
