Governor Rick Perry on evolution, in an interview with the Associated Press:

There are clear indications from our people who have amazing intellectual capability that this didn’t happen by accident and a creator put this in place. Now, what was his time frame and how did he create the earth that we know? I’m not going to tell you that I’ve got the answers to that. I believe that we were created by this all-powerful supreme being and how we got to today versus what we look like thousands of years ago, I think there’s enough holes in the theory of evolution to, you know, say there are some holes in that theory.

For an effective basic response for presidential candidates, or prospective ones, when asked about evolution, Jay Richards and I have offered a suggestion in The American Spectator.
