Anti-evolution, pro science conservatives
WorldNetDaily ^ | 3/29/2008 | Gary Bauer and Daniel Allott

Of all the factors that led to Mike Huckabee's demise in the 2008 presidential sweepstakes (insufficient funds, lack of foreign policy experience), there's one that has been largely overlooked: Huckabee's disbelief in the theory of evolution as it is generally understood – without the involvement of the Creator.

Perhaps you're thinking: What's evolution got to do with being president? Very little, as Huckabee was quick to remind reporters on the campaign trail. But from the moment the former Baptist minister revealed his beliefs on evolutionary biology, political commentators and scientists lambasted him. Some even suggested those beliefs should disqualify him from high office.

"What science is ok with Huckabee?"

All the real stuff, but no fairy tales, or Lib-science.

"If you examined his rhetoric closely, he spoke to issues that affected those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder, but offered conservative solutions, like the fair tax, to solve them."

Except on the most important issue, immigration, where he was a true leftist/globalist, just like Jimmah.

You can always tell a real “Wing-Nut” here; they always attack Worldnetdaily.

The truth does have to be stopped of course, so fire away.

OK, in discussing ID with you, I will assume it is not the same as the equivalent of Biblical Creation.

Would you care to provide the definition that suits you?

"The thing is, after Fred Thompson got out..."

You mean after everyone realized that he was never going to get "in?" - He had no support, and what little he appeared to have was fragmented into the supporters of all the positions that he was imagined to have. Which ones, if any, were real? - We never knew the man.

Does “Please...NO personal attacks... apply to you?

If you do not apologize to Coyoteman within 15 minutes I will charge abuse.

"What is Lib-science?"

The kind of nonsense that is totally unsupported by any physical evidence, and therefore supported by the anti-God gang, such as evolution.

But evolution is supported by quite a bit of physical evidence.

Perhaps you are using a more obscure meaning of the word evidence. If you are please enlighten me as to what meaning you are using.

Way to go! You have just refuted all of my points with two short comments.

You must be very proud of your masterful wit and erudition.

(Seriously, you do your credibility and your cause no good with such comments.)

Dog-faced? Maybe you’d feel better if you had a coffee enema.

Most understand quite well the relationship between my comments, and your constant rabid, and illogical attack on reality.

How would one refute the carom of a pin-ball machine anyway?

You may wish to read Jonathan Sarfati's book, Refuting Compromise, which is "A Biblical and Scientific Refutation of 'Progressive Creationism'(Billions of Years), As Popularized by Astronomer Hugh Ross".

Dr. Sarfati has a PH.D. in Chemistry and in my opinion, has thoroughly dispelled the myths perpetrated by Hugh Ross.

"But evolution is supported by quite a bit of physical evidence."

Then why has none of it ever been produced for inspection? Even one clear intermediate species would do wonders.

No, those are for JS1138 when he gets an inversion.

what do you mean by clear intermediate species?

I ask because a Google search for “intermediate species” appears to return thousands upon of thousands of positive responses.

If there were “thousands,” why would Dr. Stephen Gould have declared that there are none? He was evolutions greatest proponent.
