Percentage of Republicans who believe in evolution is shrinking

[Political Junky]

A Republican congressman who sits on the science committee of the House of Representatives has dismissed evolution, the Big Bang theory and embryology as "lies straight from the pit of hell".

Paul Broun, who is running for re-election as Georgia representative this November unopposed by Democrats, made the comments during a speech at a baptist church last month. A videoclip of the event was posted on YouTube on Friday.

In the clip, Broun, who is a doctor, says that "as a scientist" he has found data that shows the earth is no older than 9,000 years and was created in six days.

I'm religious AND I believe in evolution.

I have never once flown a jet into a building.

Maybe they fell into the ocean due to lack of standing room?

No, that is not correct. There are a lot of Repubs (many on here) that heard what this man had to say and believed him.

The world ain't laughing at this dude. Unfortunately.

Science and religion are both articles of faith. Neither comes close to giving you all the answers. In fact, Godel's Incompleteness Theorem proves roughly half of all questions in the universal cannot be discerned by mathematics (i.e. science).

We have obviously derived many discoveries from science. That is good. But your blind faith in science is naive and just as foolish as blind faith in religion. It truly shows how limited and close minded your thinking truly is.

When you say science doesn't give you ALL the answers, it makes you look ignorant beyond belief. And stating that science is a "faith" only bolsters that view.

Science doesn't actually give you any complete answers, it's a journey towards better understanding of the physical world around you leaving out the mystical and the occult while giving you methods and guidelines for studying that world.

Both are valid in that both provide the opportunity to give answers. Both are also limited in what they can answer. To flagrantly dismiss one or the other shows an incredible degree of close-mindedness.

So based on the bolded statement above you are saying science gives all the answers? How quaint.

Idiots come from all backgrounds. One guy is an idiot. To project that to an entire group of people is the definition of prejudice.

Do you really care this one guy is an idiot? Can you project his point of view onto an entire group of people? Is that reasonable?

The world is laughing at this fool Anyone know which university gave him a degree?

Lehigh University Department of Biological Sciences

Professor Michael J. Behe, Ph.D. teaches Biochemistry at Lehigh University. He is the father of "Mystical/evolution" bullshit. I wonders if his views hurts the university he works at? Perhaps keeping people from donating or something? He does put up a discalimer on his University Profile.

Official Disclaimer

My ideas about irreducible complexity and intelligent design are entirely my own. They certainly are not in any sense endorsed by either Lehigh University in general or the Department of Biological Sciences in particular. In fact, most of my colleagues in the Department strongly disagree with them.

rdean...I answered your question in detail. Man up and answer mine. That is how you have a discussion. Running away is what little kids do.

Less than five years ago, 54 percent of Republicans and nearly two-thirds of Democrats said the human species evolved over time. Today, however, the share of Republicans adhering to modern theories of human evolution has dropped significantly – to 43 percent – while the number of Democrats has climbed to 67 percent, though within the sampling error range, according to a Pew Research Center study of the public’s views of human evolution, released Monday.

Should never confuse what politicians say in public with truth. By their very nature, politicians lie if doing so wins them more votes than telling the truth. So when Republicans say evolution isn't true they're simply lying to appeal to the ignorant gits who make up the majority of the Republican party.

That is certainly one way of reading that, another is that more people are lying to pollsters.

Was that your question? If you ask a question and end it with a statement, you answered it yourself. Fucking moron. What's wrong with you?

There, that's a question.

So Republicans are lying because they want the world to think they are ignorant rubes? Even for you that makes no sense.
