Mike Huckabee and Creation/Evolution
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Southern Baptist Minister responds to the question of whether he believes in a literal interpretation of Genesis 1 and 2.
He rightfully states that the question is an unfair one, at least as it was posed originally and in that forum as well. But he takes a stab at it, interpreting the question to be whether he believed in God or not. Now, I think he's wrong on that -- the question wasn't whether he believed in God but how he understood God.
From his answer it is clear that he is a Creationist of some stripe, but he's not willing to state time frames (much as Sam Brownback did in the NY Times op-ed piece).

When the majority of scientists speak on matters such as climate change, stem cell research, etc., how will you respond to that question? But unfortunately that question wasn't asked and instead we got one focused on Biblical interpretation. Here is his response:

God is learning??? You've got to be kidding. Oh, process theology. No wonder you don't believe in Biblical revelation.
