Dunno, I haven't asked the people on FOX or MSNBC if they believe in evolution. But I would suspect their answers would not be as cut and dried as you anticipate.

"Evolution is a fact" to mind-numbed lefty robot koan. That koan is a mind-numbed lefty robot is fact to any observer of his mind-numbed dribblings.

Does Obama believe in science? Apparently not. he is choosing to ignore scientific risks associated with TSA back scatter full body scanners. whitehouse.gov November 11, 2010 4:00 AM PST Backlash grows over TSA's 'naked strip searches' by Declan McCullagh Two months ago, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that the federal stimulus legislation would pay for the purchase of hundreds of controversial full-body scanners. "Through the Recovery Act, we are able to continue our accelerated deployment of enhanced technology as part of our layered approach to security at airports nationwide," Napolitano said at the time. The number of scanners has roughly doubled since Napolitano's announcement and they are now found in 68 U.S. airports, and the Transportation Security Administration says the controversial devices have proven to be a success. "We have received minimal complaints," a TSA spokeswoman told CNET yesterday. She said that the agency, part of DHS, keeps track of air traveler complaints and has not seen a significant rise. A growing number of airline passengers, labor unions, and advocacy groups, however, say the new procedures--a choice of full-body scans or what the TSA delicately calls "enhanced pat-downs"--go too far. (They were implemented without much fanfare in late October, amid lingering questions (PDF) about whether travelers are always offered a choice of manual screening.) news.cnet.com
