This article on NPR says Huckabee’s strategy of speaking in code to these hardcore evangelicals is flawed since they say that most church goers don’t even know what the heck he’s talking about with all these Bible stories.

Brian Benson, an eighth-grade student who won first place in the Life Science/Biology category for his project “Creation Wins!!!,” says he disproved part of the theory of evolution. Using a rolled-up paper towel suspended between two glasses of water with Epsom Salts, the paper towel formed stalactites. He states that the theory that they take millions of years to develop is incorrect.
