Ron Paul ( a physician and hence someone who knows better) says he doubts evolution. He's doing so because a significant portion of his base object to science on religious grounds and he doesn't want to alienate them.
I'm not convinced that Paul wasn't being dishonest (lying) and pandering to us when he didn't raise his hand at the debate to deny a "belief" in evolution. People with Ph.D.s deny it all the time. Not that it really matters.
