Matthew Chapman's suggestion that the presidential candidates have a debate on science is naive, idealistic, and a step in the right direction. It will never happen, because the issues of science we could talk about are not up for debate, and I don't think any of the candidates in any party are competent to discuss them, and they know it. They won't step into a venue where their grade-school level understanding of science will face serious challenge, or where their embarrassing misunderstandings will be publicly aired.

Now what would be feasible, I think, would be a debate on science policy.

I, of course, love either of these ideas. No leader of the one of the most technologically advanced nations should have poor knowledge of the issues confronting science in America.

I certainly hope the next president at least believes in Evolution.
