Sarah "Speaking in Tongues" Palin explains how she believes that dinosaurs and man lived together.

This is precisely why the taboo of not discussing one's religion is wrong. This woman's viewpoint needs to be brought out and examined in the light of day. She holds ideas that have consequences in an increasingly technological world. By her own statements, she clearly doesn't have a clue what's going on.

Also from the article:

Sarah Palin is not the least bit unusual in her views, at least among conservative evangelicals and in the Republican Party. John McCain is hardly a staunch supporter of science over superstition and it's unlikely that he chose Palin as his running mate without taking into her account her appeal to the "base" of voters who put their religious ideology ahead of sound science. Any politician who denied or even seriously questioned that our planet it spherical or that it orbits the sun would not only have no chance of being elected to national office but would probably be laughed at. Politicians who deny evolutionary biology in a similar manner, though, have their election chances enhanced among conservative Christians.
