Reason Magazine organizes each presidential candidate's view on the debate of evolution v. creation. Most importantly it concludes with Science editor Donald Kennedy arguing: glc

The candidates should be asked hard questions about science policy, including questions about how those positions reflect belief. What is your view about stem cell research, and does it relate to a view of the time at which human life begins? Have you examined the scientific evidence regarding the age of Earth? Can the process of organic evolution lead to the production of new species, and how? Are you able to look at data on past climates in search of inferences about the future of climate change? I don't need them to describe their faith; that's their business and not mine. But I do care about their scientific knowledge and how it will inform their leadership.

To agree to not dope, to never let that enter the context of a team, is to agree to fail sometimes. It is to agree to let your fans down sometimes. It is to agree to the fallibility of the human body. It is to sign that contract and live by it, no matter how high the pressure. We want the skeptics to look as far into this team as possible, says Vaughters, who has invited one of the ultimate journalistic skeptics, David Walsh, to live with the team during the weeklong Paris-Nice race in March.
