TV Host Maher Shows Another O'Donnell Clip
Yahoo ^ | September 25, 2010 | Randall Chase

DOVER, Del. – TV comedian Bill Maher is taking another jab at Republican Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, who as a conservative Christian activist was a frequent guest on his "Politically Incorrect" show in the 1990s.

After O'Donnell won last week's GOP primary in Delaware with the help of tea party activists, Maher played a 1999 tape in which she said she had dabbled in witchcraft while in high school.

Maher threatened to show more old clips of O'Donnell unless she appeared on his current cable show, "Real Time with Bill Maher."

On Friday night, Maher made good on his threat, showing another clip from the 1990s in which O'Donnell challenged the theory of evolution

But all those who believe in the TOE on FR indicated in scientific terms Theory really means Fact!

Ironically, the reason why many Americans believe 'theory' means 'unproven' happens to be our progressive education system, built using the philosophical pragmatism of John Dewey.

No one contests the facts; hypotheses and theories are introduced to explain the facts. A hypothesis is local-- someone may have complained to Copernicus that if the Earth moves around the sun, we should observe stellar parallax with our own eyes. Copernicus may have explained this with the hypothesis that the stars are very, very far way.

A theory is higher level -- it attempts to unite many sets of phenomena under a single, general explanation. This is why we have the germ theory of disease, the atomic theory of matter, Newton's theory of gravitation, et cetera.

Why is there sequence instead of randomness in the fossil record? Why do we find homologous structures within different species? Why isn't the geographical distribution of species on our planet uniform? Evolution by natural selection explains this in a way, let us say, an appeal to the infallibility of the Koran does not, since evolution looks at populations statistically in a continuous temporal fashion. The Koran retains a Platonist metaphysics, where each horse participates in a unique, invariable form of horseness. This is why a devout Muslim may ask why monkeys don’t give birth to humans, or why if frogs and monkeys exist, we don’t find any fronkeys, and other stupid questions. We're a superior civilization and ought to know better.

Better candidates could have stood up to run against Castle, but they bought the "conventional wisdom" that Castle was a shoo-in. He couldn't even beat O'Donnell.

And an election is a choice between candidates. Chris Coons has raised taxes on 2/3's of Delawarians 3 times in 4 years and still blew out the budget.

So, the choice is between the tax-raising, big spending Democrat and the fiscal Conservative. Who's going to win that one? Coons? Really? We'll see.

“The left have been doing this to conservative women forever including Katherine Harris in 2000. Grow a spine.”

And a whole lot of Freepers jump right on the figurative media horse and ride with the lies and smears. They buy the leftist crap and bemoan our own heroic candidates. It disgusts me.

***IMHO, Mr. Maher has not “evoluted” very far up the chain-—LOL!***

Has he progressed to Trogdolyte level yet? I refuse to watch his show or take HBO.

"I have a Masters degree in Biology and have been teaching it for over 25 years and I agree 100% with what Christine says about the theory of evolution."

Aren't all "scientific findings" called "theory"? For instance, has any scientist proved the "theory of relativity" wrong yet? Are there any scientists working on a "theory" of their own that might replace it as a better explanation of what is happening? Will the theory of relativity stay in place as "the best explanation" until another scientist's theory is found to be a better explanation?

The Koran teaches that monkeys and apes are created by God out of Jews and unbelievers.

You seem to have missed that part ~ just wanted you to know.

Now, about gradual change over time, what about "hearts" ~ same old same old over GEOLOGIC SPANS OF TIME. Maybe an extra tube or something here or there, but it's essentially the same organ whether you find it in a frog or a fish or a bug! It's a tube with valves and muscles. It beats regularly. Everybody has one, although Octupi have "helpers" ~ of course we have special valves in our leg veins, and then there are the arteries ~ they aid the flow.

Her “why aren’t monkeys still evolving” comment will resonate with many conservatives imbeciles.

Fixed it for you.

That’s why it’s called a THEORY!! They might as well say “HOPE”.....we HOPE there is evolution because we are ATHEISTS!!

What reaction does it evoke when one reels off a list of TODAY'S leading TV "comedians"......Maher, Leno, Colbert, Letterman, Griffin, Fey, Whoopi, Rosie O'Donut.......?

Do any of these words instantly come to mind......bitter, hateful, cynical, sick, amoral, vulgar, phoney, unfunny, destructive, smarmy, dishonest, arrogant, anti-social, anti-free enterprise, anti-religious, divisive, anti-American, unprincipled, anti-family........?

What reaction does it evoke when one reels off a list of YESTERDAY'S leading entertainment comedians.....Hope, Skelton, Berle, Martin & Lewis, Benny, Steve Allen, Silvers, Ball, Arden, Caesar, Coca, Burnett, Bob & Ray, Kovacs, Newhart, Gleason, Burns & Allen, Paar, Carson, Fred Allen, Kaye.....?

I rest my case.

I hold no brief for those who regularly watch what passes for comedy as delivered by the aforementioned degrading "comedians"......or who patronize their advertisers or buy their books.

Unfunny would-be comedian, Bill O'Reilly, the blackmailer of Republican Christine O'Donnell, is now in the process of building up and providing massive exposure and a platform for Bill Maher, the other blackmailer of Christine O'Donnell. Disgusting!

Too many of today's "cool comedy" shows are, in great part, tragedy...and too many of today's "cool comedians" are but mere pitiful players on a fleeting stage.....and whose names will be forgotten in the annals of true comedic talents.

My last comments; I never said the theory was invalid; it’s a reasonable set of postulants to Darwin’s observations. The scientific method requires VERIFICATION of new information, not acceptance.
Darwin’s theories should always be looked at with the same critical eye physicists now use for Einstein’s.

Maher doesn’t make Coons any more appealing. He apparently doesn’t have a problem with those who “dabble” in Marxism.

You would have thought they learned their lesson attacking Reagan as 'bozo the chimp' and calling him a B actor.

Now we have a authentic female Reagan, it can't get any better. Just so they get her name right, you can't buy all the attention this provides.

I say she wins.

Great rant! Today’s comedians are pathetic when compared to the generation before, truly pathetic in every way you described.
