Scott Walker has recently, according to the cognoscenti of leftism, committed a couple of “gaffes.” A snarky British journalist asked Walker if he believed in evolution. Walker could have answered by saying that Sir Fred Hoyle, who was Director of the Cambridge Institute of Astrophysics believed that evolution by natural selection was not only unlikely but virtually impossible, and noting that Hoyle, whose discovery of the process for the formation of heavy elements in stars was essential to any theory of carbon based life, was an agnostic.
