Did you know that three Republicans running in the primaries for president attested to believing in creationism? This is appalling! The president of the United States should have firm educational roots which are not swayed by the guiding of religion.

It shows good moral character for the President to walk out of church every Sunday morning whether he believes the stories discussed or is just there for the positive press. This should only support the President’s faith and spirituality. When his religious teachings interfere with scientific data, research, or progress there is a major impediment to the nation’s well being.

The scientific method is a hallmark of education. In its simplest forms, the scientific method teaches a student in order to solve a problem several steps must be taken in coming to a valid conclusion. The disregard for science amongst our nation’s potential leaders sends a message saying that religion triumphs over science. I disagree! Not only based on my own personal beliefs but also because this states that you are in the holds of one religion. What about the rest of the people who do not follow your dogma? This leads to a slipper slope where church and state should not come to.
