"The logic that convinces us that evolution is a fact is the same logic we use to say ... we have serious energy policy issues because of global warming,"

Ha ha!

[A. Morgan]

Huckleberry and logic??? ROFLMAO

[Cicero]

Well, I happen to agree that Huckabee is a nut job. But our kids are lagging in the sciences NOT because not enough Darwinism is taught in the schools, but because the NEA has dumbed them down.

“The logic that convinces us that evolution is a fact is the same logic we use to say smoking is hazardous to your health or we have serious energy policy issues because of global warming,” University of Michigan professor Gilbert Omenn told reporters at the launch of a book on evolution by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).

Ya know Gilbert maybe you got something there and we need to reevaluate some of those policies.

Thanks dork.

Creationists aren’t doing any damage. The real anti-science nut jobs are the (mostly) leftist who actively try to stop the advance of genetically modified food. They are doing real measurable damage to people. No negative big media stories about them though.

“The logic that convinces us that evolution is a fact is the same logic we use to say smoking is hazardous to your health or we have serious energy policy issues because of global warming,”

Maybe we should take up smoking after all?!

"The logic that convinces us that evolution is a fact is the same logic we use to say smoking is hazardous to your health or we have serious energy policy issues because of global warming," University of Michigan professor Gilbert Omenn told reporters at the launch of a book on evolution by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).

"I would worry that a president who didn't believe in the evolution arguments wouldn't believe in those other arguments either. This is a way of leading our country to ruin," added Omenn, who was part of a panel of experts at the launch of "Science, Evolution and Creationism."

Boy, I could really throw this guy for a loop. I believe in evolution, I believe man is not responsible for global warming (to any major degree anyway) and I also think smoking is hazardous to your health.

Huckabee's Smoking Ban

"..Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee wants a national smoking ban. He says it is a workplace safety issue and compares subjecting restaurant workers to cigarette smoke is like exposing them to radon. He asks us not to think of it as a consumer issue..."

AND Global Warming is debateable.

These scientists have their own articles of faith and their own tendencies to be sloppy with the facts.

The logic that convinces us that evolution is a fact is the same logic we use to say ... we have serious energy policy issues because of global warming,"

And this wack job thinks that HELPS him make his case? What an idiot!

"The logic that convinces us that evolution is a fact is the same logic we use to say smoking is hazardous to your health or we have serious energy policy issues because of global warming."

Oh that logic.

[MrB]

“The logic that convinces us that evolution is a fact is the same logic we use to say smoking is hazardous to your health or we have serious energy policy issues because of global warming,”

and that “logic” takes a lot more faith than those that believe in a creator, haven’t seen one study saying second hand smoke will kill you, much less seen one death cert of same, and those that believe the SUN is causing global warming, and that humans have very little to do with it.

[RGVTx]

The same logic used for warning that smoking is hazardous to health and global warming is real...hmmm.

Have they been lying about the smoking hazard to health, too?

[GreenOgre]

Creationists aren’t doing any damage.

What planet did you arrive from? Please tell me how replacing science with superstition is going to make our schools better.

Huckleberry interviewed by Sean Hannity:

Huckleberry: I wish I hadn’t written the letter.
Huckleberry: That’s one letter I wish I hadn’t written.
Huckleberry: That’s one sentence I should have never said.
Huckleberry: Romney..... and, Mitt Romney ....
Huckleberry: Sean I look forward to your support in November!

nut job

[madprof98]

Apparently the only group more opposed to Huckabee than evolution-proponents are the posters on this forum.

[BenLurkin]

I think you nailed it. “Logic” for these types really is not logic at all.

It is devotion to the groupthink practiced by fellow graduates of left wing science programs.

[dinoparty]

Oh no, doomed! Just as we were “doomed” if:

1. Reagan was elected
2. Reagan cut taxes during a time of deficit
3. Reagan accelerated the arms race
4. George W. Bush was elected
5. George W. Bush was re-elected

etc etc
blah blah blah
