According to a story at http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2008/01/11/wiles
Mike Huckabee should not be allowed to hold any office requiring an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. The reason? Huckabee said, "frankly, Darwinism is not an established scientific fact. It is a theory of evolution, that’s why it’s called the theory of evolution."

The writer of the story responded: "the teaching of creationism alongside of evolution in public schools for which Huckabee has called has been repeatedly rejected by the nation’s courts. The oath of office obliges the president to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” It is unacceptable for a presidential candidate to advocate such clearly unconstitutional educational policy. University scientists, professors who train science teachers, and others who care about the quality of science education ought to oppose candidates who disparage evolutionary science and who condone the injection of religious doctrine into the public school science curriculum."

And here I thought the Constitution was ratified well before the outbreak of the War between Theology and Science.
