You can't help but notice that there is a very vocal sort of a little clique of evolutionists on FreeRepublic, and there has always been a question in a lot of people's minds as to whether or not the theory of evolution is in any way compatible with conservatism.
This new book ("Godless") of Ann Coulter's should pretty much settle the issue.
Ann does not mince words, and she has quite a lot to say about evolution:
"Liberals' creation myth is Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, which is about one notch above scientology in scientific rigor. It's a make-believe story, based on a theory which is a tautology, with no proof in the scientists laboratory or the fossil record, and that's after 150 years of very determined looking. We wouldn't still be talking about it but for the fact that liberals think evolution disproves God....
It gets better from there, in fact a lot better. Ann provides a context for viewing the liberal efforts to shut down everything resembling debate on the subject in courtrooms and makes a general case that it is the left and not the right, which is antithetical to science in general. Anybody interested in this question of American society and the so-called theory of evolution should have a copy of this book
No. I don't picture God using unworkable methods.
Infants with "unworkable" bodies such as those with Potter syndrome (born without any kidneys and with barely functional lungs) are born every day in the World and die after a few hours. Being part of the birth of such an infant and witnessing its inevitable death within a matter of hours was one of my most difficult experiences in medical school.
It is not for us to put limits on what God can or cannot do or what God will or won't do. Such matters are for God, not us, to decide.
In any case, the matter still remains that, however you believe the birth and inevitable deaths of those doomed infants ties into God's methods and plan has absolutely nothing to do with the legitimacy of your political beliefs or anybody else's political beliefs.
ROFLMAO You are looking at B.S. I seem to remember Jack Horner finding the major discovery of a dinosaur heart, complete with liquid blood! What he had was some sandstone with some iron in it. Hardly a heart. Just the fact that it was found in Sandstone should have set of the warning signals. Sandstone is porous. And the articles you are talking about are from March 2005. They should have had time to get some DNA by now. Or by some miracle, did the soft tissue stay, and all the DNA ran off? You are looking at a scam perpetrated by a creationist trying to get attention. Seems like they could have at least said they found the T-Rex in clay, or a bog, or something other than sandstone. Oh well, stupid is as stupid does I guess. EVEN FUNNIER is that this "scientist" compared the T-Rex material to ostriches because that is the T-Rex's closest relative. Closest by Evolution? ROFLMAO So, evolution is a big lie, unless we can find dinosaur meat only a few thousand years old. Then we can claim that the T-Rex evolved into an ostrich over the last few thousand years, and then there must be a God. Just Dang.
And remember for future reference, these media outlets are the same people who bring you news Dan Rather style. They are lost as last years Easter Eggs 99 percent of the time.
It's bat meat. I'm pretty sure.
"If intelligent design (intelligent denial)is true how do you explain the existence of Ann Coulter and Pat Robertson?"
I'm sorry, that is proof FOR ID. Let's see. Proof of no ID would be any Liberal currently breathing air. That should cover all of them.
I think the "meat" designation is a result of the color of the sample. If you follow the legend for the photos, you would notice that the parts labeled flexible are not red.
Of course petrified wood is often red, for whatever that is worth.
I suppose one's straw should exceed one's grasp.
"If you follow the legend for the photos, you would notice that the parts labeled flexible are not red."
Bingo. It's a little white strip that is flexible (after the chemical treatment).
"Of course petrified wood is often red, for whatever that is worth."
Yep. And a hunk of sandstone with iron is a heart. LOL The "tyrannosaur meat" will have to go down as the funniest punchline in joke history... "and then HE said, no, that's Tyrannosaur meat." Who writes these?
John Hawkins: If you were to pick three concepts, facts, or ideas that most undercut the theory of evolution, what would they be?
Ann Coulter: 1. It's illogical. 2. There's no physical evidence for it. 3. There's physical evidence that directly contradicts it. Apart from those three concerns I'd say it's a pretty solid theory.
John Hawkins: If the science behind evolution doesn't stand-up, why do you think so many people who should know better so fervently believe in evolution?
Ann Coulter: A century of brain-washing combined with a desperate need to not believe in an intelligent designer.
John Hawkins: Do you think evolution, intelligent design, or something else should be taught in schools?
Ann Coulter: I would say teach them the one that has the strongest scientific basis to it, and if there's any time left over at the end of the day you could also teach them about the theory of evolution.
*LOL Ann doesn't back down
Incorrect. It's a common mistake though.
Still not using the original photos with the scale I see. That "meat" is actually bone particles smaller than a flake of dandruff.

Size may not be an issue if it tastes like chicken. Any takers? Tyrranosaur Meat. BWHAHA! I hear the best way to cook it is on a board....
She has become a caricature of herself. Sad.
That looks Yaba Daba delicious.
*ROTFLMAO*
The only thing bigger than a typical lawyer's ego, is, well, another lawyer's ego....
