As expected Michele Bachmann emerged the winner in the Iowa state straw poll that put her somewhat ahead of the other Republicans candidates in the race to challenge Barack Obama in the presidential election 2012. I understand that she is a conservative republican, and that she is a spearhead in the much talked-about Tea Party Movement. Well, I’m not an expert in American politics, and, therefore, I cannot make a balanced opinion on how good a president she would be, if finally elected, from the perspective of both the US and the world. But in my limited view and approach, I will really find it extraordinarily funny, if she goes on to become the US president in the end. Before I explain why, I’d like to encourage you to please read this article. In short, she publicly supports the intelligent design which is based on the fact that there is a God who created the Universe only a few thousand years ago, when it has been established by the scientists — they may be less human than Prof. Bachmann — using fossil records and techniques like radiocarbon-dating that the Universe is tens of billions of years old ; in other words, to put it plainly, she does not believe in Darwinism. Consciously disapproving Darwinism and publicly speaking against it, in my opinion, is no small talk. It reflects your worldview, it shows your outlook. After successfully disproving all kinds of skepticism for hundreds of years, Darwinism has been established as a concrete evidence-based full-fledged science, being accepted by the scientific community the world over without any iota of doubt. Not only that, new evidences — in the scopes of many modern scientific disciplines such as genetics, molecular biology — emerge each passing day that further corroborate the authenticity of this age-old theory; so much that it has been put in the same elite class as the gravitation law and laws of motion by Isaac Newton. Both the theories are being taught in schools across the world. But things are different in America (further reading).
I’m a firm believer of democracy; therefore, I’ll surely stand up and applaud the American democracy, when they elect their new president in 2012, no matter who the person is. Nevertheless, I just only hope that the American electorate take into consideration other aspects of a candidate’s worldview too, such as this, before making their final decision. God bless America.
