I really can't respect anyone who really thinks evolution doesn't exist, but those Senators saying that they don't believe in religion, I really don't think they really believe that. It is just something they say to appeal to some of our possibly mildly retarded citizens, kind of a way to say "see, I'm like you Cletus". You can't be as educated as some of these people are and think the jury is still out on this issue.
As much as I don't get people acting like global warming is a creation of fantasy, I can at least respect the debate to what degree is there. There is just no reasonable argument against evolution. |
I understand all that, but it's pretty clear that the majority of people who do not believe that evolution is happening do so for religious reasons. And that there are some who are not religious, who (supposedly) are fairly intelligent, and still do not believe that evolution is happening. So I'd like to know just wtf they believe and why do they discount evolution.
I agree though, most of those Senators are talking shit to their base because they know it gets them elected, they may be evil but they aren't stupid.
