I recently came across an article by a fellow Republican operative where he basically said that Huckabee's position on Darwinian Evolution would kill him and our party, if he got to the General Election this November.  I must disagree for two reasons. 

One, most of the nation believes as Huckabee does including most independents and Democrats, if he first gets the nomination and then gets killed in a debate it probably will not happen on this issue.

Two, this position is scientifically supportable using just the Big Bang Theory and the laws of Thermodynamics.  Let me explain...

The Big Bang theory basically says that the entire universe, all the energy, matter and time began at a specific point and emerged from a single "primeval atom".  This theory has been mathematically proven.

However, according to the First Law of Thermodynamics basically says that "matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics#First_law

For both of these two laws to be true, this argues for an uncaused cause that both existed before the Big Bang and directed the Big Bang and then set up the laws of the universe. 

Then you add the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which basically says that "energy systems tend to be more chaotic or disorganized over time."  In other words ecosystems tend to devolve over time rather than evolve.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics#Second_law

So, in order to keep things organized or keep things from going to chaos, we need to exert more and more energy to overcome the second law of thermodynamics.  We see the second law of thermodynamics at work in our everyday lives.  We see it at work when we prepare our meals, needing to clean-up afterwards. We see this at work by virtue of needing to keep our cars serviced so that they will keep running.  We even see it in politics where in order to keep our government's ethics and policies to benefit the entire society, we need to think through what policies will help our nation and local communities, which candidates best serve to advance those policies, and then we need to get out there and work to get those candidates elected.

This defense does not rule out the role for micro evoluntionary processes, also known as Adaptation Theory, but acknowledges that these sorts of processes are reversable and cannot be extrapolated to a macro evolutionary model.

If these 2 laws and theorem of physics were to be part of an answer to some why do you believe or don't believe in Darwinian Evolution question in any debate, a supporter of intelligent design could use these 2 laws and theorem of physics to put the issue to rest on the national stage.  So, contrary to the opinion of this fellow Republican operative, this issue does not need to be a Waterloo for a Republican candidate or for the party.
