    You really don't understand do you?

    They are being told it is scientific. But they don't really understand what scientific means, or why they should beleive some scientist rather than there mother.

    And it is mostly what is being taught by parents/etc, not what is being taught from the pulpit, which makes people not beleive in evolution. I have never heard, nor heard of, a sermon against evolution.

    Your "no research" necessary is for them is worse than their family saying "this is the case". You are asking them to have faith in evolution, and they see no reason to have faith in evolution.

      You know, "only in the USA" stuff ?


      In europe people are too agnostic atheist for that to happen, and in latin america the catholic church accepted evolution, even if they dont believe it happened by chance, it is accepted as the "method" used to create mankind, that all living being descend from one cell hundreds of millions ago etc etc

        What needs to be addressed in the rationale behind the chosen ignorance.

        Living on faith is a sad business in my eyes. It means you have sort of already given up on life in the hre and now.

          What these guys are raising there hand for is a reflection of their voters, not (necessarily) their beliefs. Clue in people.

              Yes, this is important.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

                McCain, Romney, and Brownback, most likely.

                  But McCain is the guy we are sure actually said that he accepts evolution!

                  How can he be one of the guys who also raised his hand that he doesn't accept it?

                    Ditto, since polls suggest that the country is split between those who believe in creationism and those who believe in evolution or some compromise between the two.

                    Personally, I don't care whether someone chooses to believe in creationism, but for me it's going to factor against them when they're running for office.

                        It did take him a few of seconds of thinking before he responded.

                        Then again, maybe that's just old age.

                            Do you disagree with my statement that most people choose ignorance, whether they beleive in Evolution or not?

                            Most take it by faith. I don't see why those who don't have faith in it should be considered sadder than those who do.

                            Most people just don't care enough. I Actually question whether many people on this site care enough to understand such things as evolution themselves.

                              Is there any real reason why we couldn't take a page from the French and have you know maybe a real debate dealing with questions that don't offend me to listen to and don't waste the candidates time?

                                How is this question important to begin with? Is this a political issue? No? So why is it an issue here right now?

                                I don't care what people believe in. You can disregard science and choose the parts you like. I don't care. Most politicians are not very intelligent to begin with.

                                Let's rewind some years back... do you believe the earth is flat?

                                You can CHOOSE to listen what the pastor says, or you can just believe in science. When asked about scientific questions, I'd trust science. It's kind of the point.
