Quick Question

Imagine for a moment that you heard a politician say this:

"What we're saying is that the neo-Darwinism and some of the materialistic explanations of evolution have led young folks away from Christianity and their beliefs."

Kathy Martin
Religion and Ethics NewsWeekly, 02/25/2005

...and also this:

"We are not going to give up until the standards say what we want them to say. Some naturalistic [evolutionary] opinion is correct, but not all of it is."

Kathy Martin
Clay Center Dispatch, 04/20/2005

...along with this:

"Evolution has been proven false. ID [Intelligent Design] is science-based and strong in facts."

Kathy Martin
Clay Center Dispatch, 04/20/2005

...and this:

"It [evolution] has a lot of fallacies, and it's been disproven or remains unproven, but it's presented as fact. It was a good idea back in 1859 when it came out. Darwin and some of his cronies had some great ideas, but it can't be proven."

Kathy Martin
Kansas City Star, 05/04/2005

...and finally this:

"The truth is that Darwin's theory is far from proven and that continuing to teach it as fact without offering competing theories for Kansas students to consider is doing them a disservice. Scientific discoveries made over the last decades, such as the DNA code in every living cell, have proven Darwin's theory of macroevolution not to be a plausible theory."

Kathy Martin
Campaign Website, 10/27/08

Would you tend to believe that same politician if you heard her say this?

"All I've asked for, and the other members of the state board of education that approved the science standards in 2005 is an open, objective presentation of evolution."

Kathy Martin
Clay Center Dispatch, 10/27/2008
