A Christian can hold the post of Minister of Science. The problem is that you always hope that ministers given a certain post or portfolio will have some understanding of the issues, how they impact society, how they are relevant to each other, etc.

The problem with the minister not answering the question is that you begin to question and doubt if he really is knowledgeble enough to handle the post with responsibility and execute it intelligently with the requisite knowledge and acceptance of the principles that it deserves.

It's like hearing that you have a finance minister who says that he won't confirm if he believes in banking because lending with interest is against his religious beliefs.
