Asked about creation and evolution, Bush said: "I think you can have both. I think evolution can -- you're getting me way out of my lane here. I'm just a simple president. But it's, I think that God created the earth, created the world; I think the creation of the world is so mysterious it requires something as large as an almighty and I don't think it's incompatible with the scientific proof that there is evolution." (From Crooks and Liars)

How long before the religious nut jobs go after Bush now? This is a stunning admission and it is curious that he never said anything remotely similar to this in either of his Presidential campaigns. Politicians can be funny when they no longer have to worry about an election.
