Well, indeed. This again turned into a creationism vs evolutionism debate, to which I'm also guilty in participating (mainly because I have never participated in one before). My main goal was to evoke comments on the newspaper article itself.
But you know, American (neo-)conservatism is in our black book, and this article is just a result of that. To put it bluntly: conservatives/republicans are orthodox christian and therefore believe in creationism. And us Dutchmen have made up our mind about this debate: we believe in the theory of evolution, and those who believe in creationism have blinkers on and just believe anything that's written in the bible. That's basically the general opinion here. I know it's not very diplomatic. We have a hard time dealing with the orthodox catholic Polish and Italians in the European Union...
