When Sam Brownback raised his hand to indicate that he doesn’t believe in evolution, what he meant to say was:

If belief in evolution means simply assenting to microevolution, small changes over time within a species, I am happy to say, as I have in the past, that I believe it to be true. If, on the other hand, it means assenting to an exclusively materialistic, deterministic vision of the world that holds no place for a guiding intelligence, then I reject it.

I still don’t think he thinks we evolved from monkeys though.
