Fundamentalists are at odds with the teaching of evolution because they believe it is not compatible with the teaching of creation. They believe the Bible teaches creation.
They believed people had a right to their religious freedoms, and evolution is the exact opposite of what the major monotheistic religions believe in in the United States.

Rick Santorum does not believe evolution is a proven fact, and that it should not be taught as such in public schools.
