Not everyone uses Facebook, so ...

The idiot probably thinks the earth is flat as well.

Who in their right mind could possibly vote for this ignorant fool?

And the answer is..., almost half of the American population.

He doesn't deserve the White House. Let the buffoon go live in a cave.

Embarrassing & hilarious all @ the same time.
I don't know whether or not to laugh or to cry ...

What is so funny?

Evolution IS only a theory.

You need to do your homework instead of just keeping an eye on the cool kids and parroting what you think is the popular thing to say.

Be careful before you wade in for a fight with your sleeves rolled up; Only a fool would try to argue that evolution is anything more than a theory.

 

[SRL+]

So sad.., I knew they’d be arriving shortly with pitchforks & torches in hand.

O thy' fervor of it all

I suppose it's a good time to go and "whip out" that GCN survival "thing" again...

Evolution IS only a theory.

So is gravity.

Urggh.

 

[TheBitterOne]

So is gravity.

In scientific terms, gravity is both a law and a theory.

Evolution isn't a law.

Do you not understand the difference?

Evolution is proven.

 

[Han]

"Law"

definition:

"A statement of fact, deduced from observation, to the effect that a particular natural or scientific phenomenon always occurs if certain conditions are present."*

law - definition of law in English | Oxford Dictionaries

 

[Randall]

The waste of time is trying to change the minds of people who have already made them up. This is when debate really becomes masturbation.

Stop trying to change the subject. Besides, everyone knows it's perfectly natural ... well most people anyway ... lol.

 

[TheBitterOne]

Evolution is proven.

Lol.

OK.

Back to politics...

Lol.

OK.

Back to politics...

What happened? This is the politics of your faith you're supposed to be defending, instead of attempting to sweep aside observations from bright individuals.

Is this how religion works in your world?

 

[kanakaris]

Lol.

OK.

Back to politics...

Scientists use the term "fact" to refer to a scientific explanation that has been tested and confirmed so many times that there is no longer a compelling reason to keep testing it or looking for additional examples. In that respect, the past and continuing occurrence of evolution is a scientific fact. Because the evidence supporting it is so strong, scientists no longer question whether biological evolution has occurred and is continuing to occur. Instead, they investigate the mechanisms of evolution, how rapidly evolution can take place, and related questions.

Politics of my faith? Haha.

This is just a trick of semantics though.

Because science uses the term 'proven' to mean 'observed often enough that - ah, screw it - that'll do, lets say its right' isn't the same as something being literally proven.

There's no evidence for evolution of human beings from apes or of armadillos from sea slugs.

All that has been observed is mutations over short periods of time.

The rest is complete presumption that has been promoted as fact to suit various agendas.

Similarity isn't evidence of evolution.

You can arrange any group of images to create an illusion of progressive development.

If I posted a 3-step diagram of a seahorse, a man and a donkey, does that mean the donkey must have evolved directly from the man because it has more legs?

Regardless of one's feelings about creationism or evolution I'm not inclined to knock a man...or woman...about their faith. As long as they don't let it dictate policy. On the recent debate Tim went down this road first and quickly added that he would follow his electorates decision despite his personal feelings (I think it was in regards to abortion)Now to my embarrassment I DON'T remember Mike saying the same, but if it was why hold his personal belief on creationism against him. I have yet to hear him disregard or demean woman. And I haven't really heard or read much of Tim taking any flack for being a man of faith

As far as my feelings I'm all for a woman's right to choose, I'm pro-choice even though I don't care for the act itself and am in favor of making it a states right issue. I don't think it's a constitutional right for a woman to have an abortion even though I realize it's for the best in many cases .

And for the record I resent Hillary for making it a woman's health issue. let's face it in many cases it is not about woman's health decisions it came as a result of poor choice and I'm a person who's always...since I left home at the tender age of not quite 19...held my own actions accountable to myself and I don't see the reason why not to hold others (at least above a certain age) to the same standard. I don't mind helping paying for an abortion because I wouldn't want a woman with an unwanted pregnancy pregnancy go and do something risky and something stupid that could risk her life. I have more than a few friends who don't care for the act of abortion but you would never hear any of them argue that it should't be done if a woman's health was known to be at risk. My point here, Hillary if you happen to be reading this don't hide behind window dressing if you really believe in this cause then put it out there for all the world to see call it what it is and then stand behind it warts and all.

Religion shouldn’t interfere with free speech, dictate national policy, a woman’s right or what can or cannot be taught in classrooms.

Other than that, to each their own.

That's just my belief.

 

[Jeff Davis]

So sad.., I knew they’d be arriving shortly with pitchforks & torches in hand.

Those are the same ones that chased Hillaryous into the windmill. I can hear Ozzy singing her theme song now..."watches those flames get higher and higher...Oh no, no, please God help me...."

I figured that either I could pray or turn to GCN’s PrestoFlame fire retardant.
