Stunning. Yet not particularly surprising when you think of Carrie Prejean and the level of intelligence at these things. I hate to label all American beauties as somewhat short a loaf, but the history of the Miss USA pageant doesn’t hold much hope. At least in this case the smart one, Alyssa Campanella, won.
But the evolution answers would make Answers in Genesis — the folks behind the Creation Museum and the upcoming Noah’s Ark theme park — proud.
One after another of the contestants, like Miss Maryland, confused the evolution of species with the origin of life (not the same) or said a variation of Miss Michigan’s line that it’s “silly” and “ignorant” not to know “both sides” including, evidently, religious views in public schools.
Three were flat out opposed: Miss Kentucky, home state of the Creation Museum; Miss Alaska who assures us “each of us was individually created by God for a purpose”; and Miss Alabama who doesn’t believe in evolution.
Only Miss Massachusetts and Campanella stood up for Darwin.
