Oh man, because there is so much riding on whether or not a few Christian groups believe in evolution or not.
At any right, people that are sceptical, or "deniers," are valuable, as they push people to bolster their arguments and their research.

These small groups of Christians are anywhere from 40-70% of the United States.
-
try 80%
-
Jesus Christ, we're in a tight spot, aren't we?
-
Policy makers sometimes hold these views. That's the problem
-
Right, with the whole evolution thing becoming a prominent issue in modern America. Not, like, corruption that officials justify by feigning stupidity and religious value.
-
It's an educational issue.
-
The actual issue with education is its tendency to damage critical thinking skills and its failure to actually motivate children to learn.
-
I'm not saying it's a sole issue, but when genesis is being taught in biology you have to stop and think
-
No you don't. Most schools are not teaching genesis in biology. It's a nonissue.
-
It's still ludicrous. I've never said this is priority but it's a little worrying even if small scale
-
Nahh, no need to drum up conflict over something that isn't a big issue.
-
Fun fact, a higher percentage of the Muslim world believe in evolution than in the United States. But of course it's a non issue. Education is the key m8.
-
Dude, I have nothing against Islam.
-
The Muslim world is notably more religious and less advanced than the United States, yet despite being comparatively backwards more believe in evolution. Don't you find it ridiculous places like Kazakhstan are better educated on this than the US? Like seriously.
-
Not really, the US education is a travesty on so many levels. Despite the financial success of the United States, it is often quite backwards itself.
-
Even so, it's an issue
-
It's really just a symptom of a greater issue. I'm not exactly fond of the idea myself, I just don't think it is as big of a deal as people are making it. Not on its own, anywho.

No they just vote for idiots who undermine everything.

Well, when scientists who are not financially motivated start making a serious run for office, I'll give you that one.

Who cannot take a leave of absence from his/her career and making <90-100,000 a year to find time to run for public office... And be funded to even be able to compete?

Oh, I don't.
