And nothin petty either.

What's petty is ignoring scientific fact and replacing it with thinly veiled religious belief.

You really should back off applying your own construct to others. No one is denying science.

Indeed. Anyone that doesn't staunchly drag the political line sees numerous examples of this mentality all over this board and well represented on both sides of the isle. It's just the republicans heavily cultivated this stuff when they were embracing the religious right and these individuals not only form their base now, but tend to be very active in shaping their political message.

"The Scientific American" posts a blog by a guy that starts out his screed by saying:

"Here’s my conclusion: the only strong evidence we have that Oklahoma Senator James M. Inhofe isn’t a clown is that his car isn’t small enough."

That's your factual proof? of what, that some on the left with a pulpit to write are assholes?

the problem with you authoritarian leftists is not that you want to argue your side of the debate passionately, but rather that you don't. Instead in far too many cases you come in here to attack others for taking an opposing view, instead of arguing your points. It is all too often fraught with fallacy, and hyperbole.

So, bravo, you have shown that there are cases within the GOP of comments that are open to attack, fairly or not regarding the belief in certain science proclamation. So, I guess, by showing such a limited sample, you are by inference saying that all conservatives, or Republicans must think the same thing right?

Amazing how you would NEVER allow that to be the case when it is a repub speaking of liberals as a group....But I understand, it's politics, hypocrisy abounds as the dominating force. I hope at least you are honest with yourself....

Besides the rest of your post.

Which screams "help me I'm a victim of the nasty libruls".

There is no opposing view to be taken here.

It's like saying there's no such thing as plate tectonics in regards to geology, you'd never be able to understand why there's earthquakes.

Evolution doesn't explain the origins of life and it doesn't claim to.

But evolution is fact. Period.

And to say otherwise is ludicrous.
 
Re: One-third of Americans reject evolution, poll shows

What part of that blog did his being gay effect? I dont beleive all stupid people are RW, why do you ask, does it somehow justify the stupid from the right if others are stupid too? It seems in this post you attack just as you accuse the left of doing...weird.

Well, have the Mod's close the thread...Jet has declared in wondrous liberal fashion, just like in Global Warming the debate is over!

Good grief liberals are arrogant.

I didn't attack anyone....You're seeing things.
 
Re: One-third of Americans reject evolution, poll shows

I dont think it is arrogance, there just is no viable alternative to evolution.

Dinosaurs never existed. Their fossils were planted underneath the ground by God to test our faith to the Official Narrative™

Yet don't tell a Liberal/Progressive that they are "Godless".... They will screech like they just sat on a pin.

Do you think all non conservatives are "Godless"?

What does "Godless" mean? Someone who uses logic and reasoning in understanding the workings of the universe? Why can't the belief in a Judeo-Christian God be synthesized with the most obvious of scientific principles like the impossibility of the transgression of the laws of nature?

Not saying it can't...You should do yourself a favor, and read the entire thread before coming in and being less than informed on what poster you are addressing...

Denying overwhelming scientific evidence is pretty arrogant in my book.

I wouldn't close the thread ONLY because evolution denial is one of the funniest things to read on the forum.

I was not necessarily addressing you in particular. My comment stands to all those who promote faith over science.

I asked you to define Godless. You still haven't.

Who's denying it? :shrug: I don't disagree that evolution exists, I am only asking questions that try to get to the start....ie; evolved from what? how? when? why?.... But I guess when liberal/progressives are questioned in these ways the only defense to what they can't answer is to label those asking, and calling them stupid, or making crap up about their position that doesn't exist....Way to go Jet, you display this clearly here....

Let the parsing begin.

Godless is a self defining term....I am not sure what you need explanation on....As for your "...not necessarily addressing you in particular." You quoted me, you were speaking to me. If you want to address the general group then don't quote a specific poster, unless you make it clear that you are not directing your claims at someone in particular...

As I said you were addressing me by direct quote...Saying now that you weren't is excuse me for saying less than honest.
