Huckabee's Belief in Adam and Eve

Mike Huckabee’s views on how life began came up again in a recent interview the Republican candidate had with Bill O’Reilly, a talk-show host on Fox News.

According to this account in The Washington Post, Mr. Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas, told Mr. O’Reilly he has no reason to doubt that Adam and Eve were real people. He also reiterated that, even though he is not sure of the details of how it unfolded, he does believe God created humans.

...

The item quotes Bill Maher, a talk-show host on HBO, who argued in an interview with Mr. Huckabee that the topic was relevant: “If someone believes that the earth is 6,000 years old, when every scientist in the world knows it’s billions of years old, why shouldn’t I take that into account when I’m assessing the rationality of someone I’m going to put in the highest office in the land?”

The Post also looks at how Dennis J. Kucinich’s comments this week about having an encounter with a UFO may or may not fit into this discussion.
