Thread: Huntsman on evolution, warming: 'Call me crazy'

Jon Huntsman has found himself a niche as Rick Perry's science critic in chief. A few hours after video hit the airwaves of Perry telling a young boy in New Hampshire that evolution was a "theory that's out there," his GOP presidential rival pounced.
"To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy," Huntsman wrote on Twitter.

I have already contributed to his campaign once, and this makes me want to send the guy another check. However, since reason and sanity are not virtues Republican Primary Voters want in a candidate this year, I don't think this will help him out any.

He is crazy.

Evolution is a myth to many people who think that God made everything as it is, and it will never change. They never consider that God may have included evolution in his plans.


Global Warming is a Myth or HOAX, call it what you will is based hysteria and poor science.

NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

Don't overlook the people who don't believe in god and also believe that evolution is a myth. There are two sides to that coin.

I've never met one of these people. Care to point me to the "anti-evolution atheist" website for the group that you speak of?

Find a liberal who is an atheist. Look at them. There's your answer.

That's perfectly fine to believe that but when you believe crazy **** like "evolution is a myth" the rational people of the world are allowed to point out the stupidity of what you're saying. It's just like if you wanted to claim the earth was flat. Of course you can do it, but don't expect me to try and hold back my laughter at such silly comments.

That is an absurd statement and you wouldn't have made it if you had even a casual understanding of the subject.

The paper you cited (the toast of wingnut websites) has been roundly panned by the scientific community. It's author has falsely claimed to have discovered the silver bullet that kills global warming time and time again.

Liberals don't believe in evolution?

Evolution is one of the two foundation laws of biology. Every life science, meaning everything from zoology, medicine, genetics, botany, and so on, is based on evolution. Much of the food you buy, cancer drugs, antibiotics..... much of what we take for granted in our every day lives, and the vast majority of medical advances of the last century that have improved life for all of humanity.... all have a foundational basis in evolution. Denying evolution is like denying the laws of physics, it is a refusal to accept reality.

So far we have one candidate in the entire GOP field that has taken the rational position of accepting the physical world for what it is.

Wait, what was that sound?

Oh, it was Huntsman's chances of winning the nomination evaporating.
