I don't know for a fact that Reagan is a creationist (or even religious, for
that matter), but during his 1980 campaign he did say that creationism should
be given "equal time" with evolution in our public schools.  I think that
Reagan would say just about anything to appeal to the right-wing,
fundamentalist voters, but, fortunately, he has done relatively little for them.
