I agree.
I don't believe in evolution, it's just a theory.
I also don't believe in universal gravitation, the theory of relativity, string theory, or your grandmother.
In fact, you know what he just said in that clip? He admitted that he doesn't believe the bible. When asked if he believed the world was created in 6 days, 6000 years ago, he said he didn't know. You either believe something or you don't, he said it himself. He obviously doesn't believe it. You can't not know what you believe - the question wasn't "Do you know if the world was created in 6 days" the question was "do you believe the world was created in 6 days" and if you can't answer that question you are either an idiot unfit for the position of presidency, or you are a slippery, slimy, non forthright and dishonest person, possibly *worthy* of the position of presidency :p
People often misunderstand the meaning of the word theory as it is used in a scientific context, confusing it with the everyday usage which essentially equates the word theory with fact or hypothesis. Theory is not the same as a hypothesis, and even in everyday use I cringe when I hear people say theory when in fact they mean hypothesis. It's ok though, as long as they don't try to start a serious conversation or debate where they will continue to use the word and concept of "theory" (as the creationists are so fond of doing) way out of context.
