Sam Brownback, Nuanced Evolution Denier

In the GOP presidential debate from earlier this month, Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) was among the three to admit they don’t believe in evolution.

Today’s New York Times has a guest piece he wrote explaining his position.

After praising the virtues of reason and the scientific method, he ends with this beauty of a paragraph:

While no stone should be left unturned in seeking to discover the nature of man’s origins, we can say with conviction that we know with certainty at least part of the outcome. Man was not an accident and reflects an image and likeness unique in the created order. Those aspects of evolutionary theory compatible with this truth are a welcome addition to human knowledge. Aspects of these theories that undermine this truth, however, should be firmly rejected as an atheistic theology posing as science.

Wow.
