Goodyear now tells Globe he believes in evolution.
Asked by Globe and Mail journalist Anne McIlroy if he believed in evolution, Minister of State for Science and Technology Gary Goodyear refused to answer. McIlroy reported his answer. Less than 24 hours after McIlroy reported Goodyear's non-answer, Goodyear gets asked the same question by another Globe and Mail journalist, Jane Taber, and this time he answers the question. Goodyear now says "“We are evolving every year, every decade." That fast, eh? Who knew?

Re: Goodyear now tells Globe he believes in evolution.
Sorry, he's still dodging. And that bit about the evolution of "the intensity of the sun" makes me wonder if someone should also ask him whether he believes in anthropogenic global warming.
Personally, I could care less if someone, even a politician, believes in evolution, creation, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I DO care if that person happens to be a cabinet minister charged with deciding, among other things, what scientific endeavours are worthy of funding. It would be like electing an athiest as Pope. Just as one example: what if Alberta's new Creation Museum were to apply for a science grant? |
