Non-evolving views on evolution
It isn’t that there aren’t educated Republicans who understand evolution, and it isn’t even that they’re a minority within their party—although they are (according to Gallup, 52 percent of Republicans think God created humans in our present form less than 10,000 years ago). It’s that none of those people care enough to argue about it. They’ve ceded this issue to the crazies. When somebody tries to get their local schools to teach the fraud of “intelligent design,” you aren’t going to find elite Republicans complaining about it. They’ll shake their heads and go back to writing white papers on the salutary effects of cuts in the top tax rate.
