The idea that a person's belief on Creationism v. Evolution should affect their qualification for the presidency is ridiculous. A) Probably every president we have ever had has been a creationist, B) Unlike some would have you believe, there is still dissent, even among the scientific community about evolution, C) Most Americans believe in Creationism, D) Not everyone who is a Creationsit rejects evoution out of hand; there are those who believe that God used evolution to create the world, E) The president will probably never be called on to make a major policy decision in which his beliefs about Creationsim come into affect, F) If you really want to evaluate this issue you should probably look at the candidate's belief in God, since that is the real root of this question and will affect the way he looks at policy.

Who says an athiest or an agnostic believes that there is no point to thier lives?
That line of thinking is pure ignorance!
We believe in humankind and that what we humans do while we live is a direct reflection on our own individual humanity.
We do this "all by our own big selves" and without the moral crutch of a fairy tail or a pretend friend.
Religions are the source of most of the world's problems and we'd do better as a species without them - especially the big-3!

Definitely not, but I doubt you'll be able to get a straight answer from any Republican or Democrat about whether or not they are a creationist.
You can't really be reasonable and believe creationism, not evolution. There is so much direct evidence for evolution, and none for creationism. Believing creationism and rejecting evolution is like rejecting germ theory in favor of believing in poisonous miasmas.

Would you vote for a President who believes in Santa Claus?

Yes. If it [the belief] was a "reasoned" response to the topic. By the same token I would vote for a President who "believed" in evolution as long as the conclusion that was reached was based upon a "reasoned" analysis.

If his veiws on other things we well thought out, he had good qualifications, and good plans for the country, then yes! Religion should not be an important factour if deciding a president, and it isn't for me.
I cannot say as much for the rest of the country.

No. That shows a mind that will ignore facts in favor of his own beliefs.

For sure, because creationism is real and that is what we need in our President.

Depends on whether or not he would let his religious beliefs affect his decisions as a national leader.
