Bobby Jindal, former biology scholar, won’t say whether he believes in evolution

At a press event on Tuesday, Louisiana’s Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) repeatedly dodged questions about whether or not he believes in the biological explanation of how life evolved on Earth or the Creationist vision of a world created in seven days by God.

“The reality is I’m not an evolutionary biologist,” he told the assembled media.

“What I believe as a father and a husband is that local schools should make decisions on how they teach,” Jindal — a potential 2016 hopeful for the Republican presidential nomination — said, dodging the question as to whether or not creationism should be included in school textbooks.

He went on, “And we can talk about Common Core and why I don’t believe in a national curriculum? I think local school districts should make decisions about what should be taught in their classroom. I want my kids to be exposed to the best science, the best critical thinking…”

It's tough to be a Creationist when the Science Channel is running programs about the geology of earth over time (over 6,000 years).
