As we’ve noted previously, in addition to all his other wonderful attributes, “the great Patrick J. Buchanan” (Sean Hannity’s introduction for him) is a creationist.

A tiny island in the Adriatic Sea is the home of some rather amazing lizards. Italian wall lizards introduced to a tiny island off the coast of Croatia are evolving in ways that would normally take millions of years to play out, new research shows. In 1971, scientists transplanted ...
Didn’t anyone ever tell Allahpundit that to mention evolution is to risk the dreaded escalating comment swarm?
