What does Chad Lee think about evolution?

Although Lee has tactfully avoided taking conservative stances on hot-topic social issues that would not play well in the socially liberal 2nd District, his personal history suggests he has been active in promoting religious doctrine, specifically in opposition to the teaching of evolution.
. . . "In school they taught that you evolved, that you came from monkeys. God created you special, he created you intelligently," he (Chad's brother) says.
Then there's this website, Evolution is Pollution. The flashy site (make sure to move the mouse over the eyeball) with impressive html artistry encourages those who wish to spread the message of intelligent design to make donations to the Life Church in Mt. Horeb, which is run by Lee's father, Bob Lee, a Pentecostal minister.
The site is registered under "Better Brothers," and the address listed is that of Beau and Chad's cleaning business, "Better Butlers."
. . . he has done a remarkably good job of keeping religion out of the race. He contends that issues such as abortion and gay marriage should be left up to the states, and avoids all mention of his religious background on his website and in his rhetoric.
David Summers, a spokesman for the Lee campaign, says the candidate is not associated with the website. When prodded on Lee's position on the teaching of evolution in schools, Summers responded that Lee "would look at any legislation that comes across his desk and evaluate it with regards to the 10th amendment."
