Huckabees veiw on evolution played zero role. I do think many people are uncomfortable of having a preacher as president though.
What science is ok with Huckabee?
Best I can tell, he rules out much of geology, physics, cosmology, astronomy and most of biology.
Mike Huckabee is a "Christian socialist." A sad cross between Jimmy Carter and Mike Dukakis. He has no place being in the GOP race, and using any reason whatsoever to knock him out of the race was fair game.
The implication, is, of course is that if you don't believe in evolution or killing embryos for research you can't believe in science. But how narrow and small-minded do you have to be to think your only options are to believe only in killing babies or that our ancestors were monkeys?
Huckabee didn’t lose the nomination because he’s wrong about evolution. That had nothing to do with it.
No I was NOT a Romney supporter but lord McCain's treatment using whatever means necessary to take him out and most especially with the assistance of the Reverend Huckabee dissolved their credibility factor.
It's sort of like a Whitman Sampler of logical fallacies:
Category Error: The notion that the physical appearance of the unborn makes it any more (or less) likely that it is a "person" conflates incidental physical traits with fundamental moral nature.
Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc: That's Latin for "after this, therefore because of this"; it refers to confusion between correlation and causation (e.g. the abortion and marriage "predictors", with no evidence that causation, if present at all, isn't in the opposite direction from the one implied -- does marriage cause a certain type of character, or vice versa? -- or both caused by a third factor).
Selective Choice Of Data: For starters, it's obvious that the "religious believers" who plow planes into skyscrapers aren't being counted in his statistics on positive "outcomes".
People of Faith know a lot more about science than People of Science know about faith.
Contradiction in terms.
Evolution hurt Huck alright, the evolution of pardons, illegals and taxes in his years as Governor.
Again, as indicated by the referenced post, by unthinkingly knocking down the 10th A. protected powers of the states to start his New Deal federal spending programs, FDR unwittingly fueled the flames of secularism as evidence by this very thread.
We are truly the stupid party.
