I wouldn't vote for a President who didn't believe in evolution, because I think that it would somehow indicate that he/she didn't think rationally or respect science.

Sure, as long as in the same sentence they mention being a supporter of separation of church and state. that depends on if they have done enough research to speculate on another mechanism of evolution of life.
It also depends on if the alternate candidate who does believe in evolution by natural selection, thinks that applies to economic situations....in which case I'd definitely vote against the guy who is using the theory to support cut throat exploitation and capitalism.

There are many forces that drive evolution, with natural selection being just one. Humanity evolved, that is a fact.

No. Not accepting a strong scientific theory like evolution is a red flag to me. It means that they are not using science as their main form of gaining knowledge about the world. Who's to say they might decide they don't accept the germ theory, and they change modern medicine?

Interesting question. The Constitution says nothing about separation of science and state. This would be a good litmus test for eliminating the irrational politicians from public office.

Unfortunately, all of them disbelieve evolution simply because the majority of the American public are religious and have little or no understanding of science.

Sure, the quality of Presidential candidates is the only thing not to have evolved to a higher level.

anyone who doesn't believe in evolution - well, I have to seriously wonder about their common sense.
especially since its not necessarily and either/or proposition.
You can believe in both.

No I don't want a President who does not believe in science, especially a religious zealot.

If that's you only concern, I'd hate for you to have any position in any high level job. A person's religious beliefs are their own and nobody's business.
