Unfair question on CNN Republican Debate

The debate ended just a few minutes ago. Although there were some moments of humor (the lightening strike while Giuliani spoke about abortion ), the trouble started when they asked the Republican Candidates about evolution. One of the main problems that exist with this is that it goes against the idea of religious freedom. The fact that a candidate believes a certain metaphysical idea is not a good standard to adjudicate his presidential competency, especially if it has nothing to do with public policy. The belief of when life begins relates to policy, the philosophy of utilitarianism relates to policy, but the belief of how or why we are on this planet does no service or disservice to the role of presidency. I found this question to be of great disservice to the debate and I hope others in the main media will agree.
