Quoting: Anonymous Coward 978302Why I find this scary is that people will take his belief in science as a negative ... have we reached a point where if someone believes that the earth revolves around in sun they aren't qualified to run for office?

The theory of evolution is idiotic and absolutely not scientific in any way. Evolution is a religion. You have to believe in it, because there is no supporting evidence whatsoever. If a candidate believes in the myth of evolution, I think it is a valid subject to expose because it shows the candidate is not very educated or informed on science or reality. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 972206 United States 05/22/2010 05:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe they should attack the people who are teaching evolution. And I believe in evolution to an extent. I don't think we came from amoebas or monkeys, but I do believe God created all creatures with an ability to adapt to changing environments. It's a moot point to attack a candidate for something he was taught in high school and college. They should be attacking the institutions that teach these misconceptions, and the people supporting the science. |

I'm a bit spiteful towards racist backwards Luddites that live in the South, but not religion as a whole. Aren't you making some rather large assumptions here? Not quite, your attacking people's beliefs, intentionally or not. People vote with their beliefs, athiests, deists, christians, muslims, etc. This thread is basically attacking people for practicing their right to vote because their religion might sway them, while the ad may be in bad taste, if it's true, people will care, and in the way this country was built, people are allowed the freedom of voting for who they wish to, based on what they want their leaders to do, unless of course, you believe all polls are fixed.

They should be attacking the institutions that teach these misconceptions, and the people supporting the science. Quoting: DrPostmanAnd replace it with what? Do you realize that evolution as taught in schools now is interdisciplinary science and is supported by most scientists on this planet? It's only in the US where this is a conflict. And you are arguing with what? I just said I believe God created all creatures with the ability to adapt to changing environments. And you guys say that Christians are unreasonable. Hey at least we are willing to make concessions. I will concede that man has evolved. Now, I have to believe in evolution according to Dr. Postman to be have a logical thought process without the need for correction by Dr. Postman. The problem with most Darwinists is the need for ABSOLUTE control over other people's thought process. Control which most Christians don't require from you. Hey we will even make some concessions which I do when I say that I believe in the Big Bang, and that I believe that God created man with the ability to adapt. |

If you read my blog over time I will show you evidence of Divine inspiration. And if I can prove inspiration I can prove the God behind it, thereby proving the Biblical interpretation of how man came to be.

Quoting: DrPostmanThe problem is when people try to trump science with their religious beliefs for everyone else. Religion is taught in our public schools. Creationist views are unwelcome. One side is presented. And students are not given a choice. In a nation that stands for freedom, that is unfair to the young minds who are subjected to this one-sided debate. Many of their moral choices are going to be based on that belief. Not only will their standing in life be graded upon those choices, but their salvation will also depend on the concepts taught in our public schools. There is no separation of church and state as long as Darwinists have present a one-sided approach to teaching students the nature of their origin. In a nation which was based on the separation of church and state Darwin evolutionist theories stand as an affront to the separation of church and state, because in and of itself Darwinian evolution is a religion. |

And christianity, islam, bhuddism and other such religions arent? The genocide of tibetians by china is one of the easier ones, stalin another. What's going on here is, like it or not, a act of freedom, if you were in vermont for example, noone would care, or very few would, however alabama is in the bible belt, and as i said before, people vote for who they believe will best serve "their" interests, not yours, not mine, but theirs. Unless you want a communist country or imperial dictatorship, your gonna have to live with the fact that not everyone will agree on the importance of religion, science or what have you. I did not mean to come across as rude as i did, however it probably wasn't a good idea to come into a thread like this after watching one of dawkins videos.
