I think it shows the utterly sad state of the US right now. Santorum tried to have the teaching of "Creationism" legalized when he was a senator. In other words, a guy who has a shot at being the president of the United States, thinks the earth was magically created by a guy with a beard, 6,000 years ago and that Noah pranced about with dinosaurs and sabre toothed cats while he prepped them for a boat ride. In this modern age, where technological superiority translates into prosperity and knowledge is the new currency, it is amazing that this country is even considering idiots like this to be it's leader. The fact one of the two major parties is putting forth a platoon of these idiots is a sign of our decline as a great power, we are descending into Moronism.
