Ya know reading what the guy said, you can say that I think Or I feel that he cut funding because he is a closet Creationist, but he didn’t say or even imply that.

If he did, he wouldn’t be a closet creationist, but an open one. However, his invocation of an argument from ignorance, and his deeming a question as to whether he accepted evolution to be religious rather than scientific, almost crosses that line. Which is why, being a politician and being faced with a public disaster, he cya backtracked, but did so clumsily, by invoking the long discredited Lamarckian view, and thus further demonstrating his abject ignorance of evolution.
