Hardball: Mike Pence Won't Say Whether He Believes in Evolution

[vashna3799]

these religious types can't give a yes or no whether they believe in evolution ,their "inner coward" always ducks the issue

[ScrewGlennBeck]

Doesn't matter what he "believes" evolution is a fact. It's not a belief. This guy is religious holy warrior dressed as a politician. Pushing propaganda on morons the sheep. These people are setting this country back scientifically. They aren't smart enough to make decisions for us.

[RomansGalatians]

What a ridiculous assertion by Matthews to say that if you disagree with one little, sub-Genetics theory that, therefore, you denounce all of science.

Can we say OVER-GENERALIZATION.

Evolution Theory is at odds with major tenets of science: Law of Biogenesis, 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, and major schools such as Statistics.

What Matthews really means is that Evolution Theory is non-falsifiable, and how dare anyone question it.

[RomansGalatians]

Loma Linda has perhaps the largest medical research lab in the country and they teach Creation theory at their university.

So we can see that the different schools of Evolution Theory are but a small slice of the field of Genetics. Genetics is but one of hundreds of schools of Biology. Biology is only one of the many Natural Sciences. Natural Science is but one of the sciences. Science itself is but one school of knowledge

When if ever would a product Chemist deal with a theory of Origin?

[RomansGalatians]

Theory of Evolution is ONE theory of Origins in the field of Genetics. (It's not even the only Atheistic one, there's Spore Theory and others). And there is a great deal of debate among Evolutionists: Catastrophists are in vogue now, with the Theory of Punctuated Equillibrium. Thirty years ago it was the Uniformitarianists with a gradual theory

The vast majority of Genetic scientists deal with medical research, theories on Origins are largely irrelevant, whether it be Creation or Evolution.

[thelordmemnoch]

Mike Pence or anybody that actually listens to him is a cunt. He was asked at least four times and he ignored the question of evolution. What a dishonest shithead.

[sergiomats]

Since when is the belief that reptiles turned into birds and wolves turned into whales "fundamental" to Biology? Nonsence. One can be an extraordinary scientist without having faith in mythological molecules-to-man evolution.

[greenleaf4958]

I hate that these people who probably believe in this say that don't believe in order to get elected.

[bodeezy]

Pence sucks.  Typical christian republican. If you vote for this person then you are a fucking moron.

[MisterBoneman]

no...not the party of Theodore Roosevelt. Maybe the party of his teddy bear at home.

Also NOT the leader of folks from Indiana, and in fact, fast distancing himself due to his fancy dance around direct questions which only call for direct answers.

Pence...as a Hoosier..Dude. We don't want the dance. We've already seen the dance from your lettuce smoking thief friend, Buyer. We've already seen it from your friend and liar, Souder.

Be a man. Strap on a pair.

Answer with conviction or take a hike!

[frankystein12]

I fucking hate this Republican duchbag, look at him, avoiding a simple question by spurting bullshit from his mouth like a tape recorder, it's pathetic.

[msm318]

I wonder why Pence didn't bring up the science about abortion. He will next time, I am sure. For the record, ANYBODY who wants to debate science vs. religion......please bring it!

[nela04]

people that believe in god are fucking retarded

[rleary1]

Pence will burn in Hell. This dumb ass supported 'Operation: Iraqi Murder' Now the asshole is explaining what Obama needs to do regarding Iran?? Like this dipshit is some kind of expert?

[rleary1]

This fucker Pence is the 'Neo-Hitler'. It's Christian religious fucks like this that are destroying our Country. This guy is plain and simple, a bitch. He gets free haircuts and gets to ride in a limo fucking faggot. I hope he drops dead on Fathers Day.

[rleary1]

Oh my God (not this fuckers God)!! What a dumb-ass. Why can't we get these religious fuckers out of our Congress?These fundamentalists are worse than fucking terrorists.Just listen to this asshole.You want this guy to help run our country?

[o8QWERTYo8]

3:37 - Busted!

[Dblock7185]

Can't wait for these morons and that party to go extinct ..

[pepetruelo]

There is no such thing as science vs creationism, just as there is no such thing as democrats vs republicans.

These are just false oppostions to divert people's attention from the truth.

[rakrobn]

Wait Chris Matthews asks about EVOLUTION, and Pence diverts it to Global Warming. WTF?

[pt1200]

Genocidal Christianity is a hoax. Christianity is Roman war propaganda against the Jews and nonwhites. New testament was written by Romans to demean and destroy Judaism. Titus Flavius who destroyed the Jewish Temple commissioned the Christian hoax as a replacement for Judaism. Titus' Flavius military campaign against Jerusalem was transformed into Jesus' ministry against Judaism

[CranesNotSkyHooks]

For once, I'm proud of Chris Matthews

[biguglycreek]

Well Jesus Christ.

Yes.

Shut up son.

[lorililac]

I took Biology in school and science class....My text book called evoloution the

THEORY OF EVOLOUTION

[peterwilc]

Amen! Theories should not be taught in school. Lets take out the Theory of gravity, cell theory, atomic theory, quantum mechanics theory, climate change theory, plate tectonics, everything having to do with Einstein, and most of the math curriculum.

[AtheistPride007]

First learn to spell. Second learn the SCIENTIFIC definition of theory. I'll tell you. A theory is the an explanation of the fast therefore cannot be a fact itself because it explains the facts. Gravity is a Theory. I guess you probably think Gravity is bull. Go go jump off a plane and pray that you'll float.

[findelkind666]

Anyone with a brain believes in evolution...More politicions believe in evolution that are willing to admit because the majority of the nitwit voters, that don´t even understand evolution, would not vote for them if they did...It shames me to come from th USA sometimes....Living here in Germany now I have come to see how brainwashed and ignorant the US citizens truly are...The only country that believes in evolution less is Turkey....SAD

[sfbrocksccsc]

What a turd! When did Regan commit to balancing the budget...only one president has done it since WWII - a Democrat. Republicans have no face.

[leesagrrl]

Pence is a disingenuous, intellectually dishonest evasive ass.

"Clean Coal?"  No such thing. What a prick.

[FinnHawk]

Go Chris Matthews! Finally someone is asking Republicans the questions that need to be asked!

[RySenkari]

Mike Pence is a shameful piece of shit and I'm ashamed he represents my district. He sure as fuck doesn't represent me.

[press1500]

well.... what about math? Do you believe in math?  ...politicians... wow

[thelxpress]

Jesus stated that the Old Testament was true.

[agnosticman77]

Slithery bastard cannot answer a direct question.

[agnosticman77]

I hate this "believe" in evolution nonsense. I no more "believe" in evolution than I "believe" in the germ theory of disease. It should be phrased "Do you accept evolution?"

[SirAdricTheBrave]

"I hate this 'believe' in evolution nonsense. I no more 'believe' in evolution than I 'believe' in the germ theory of disease. It should be phrased 'Do you accept evolution?'"

You are mistaken, sir. You cannot "accept" something for which there is not a shred of evidence.

Neo-Darwinian evolutionism is a philosophical construct, not a scientific one.

[garthggarth]

Saw the best bumpersticker in the world yesterday:

JESUS LOVES YOU

Everyone else thinks you're an Asshole.

reminded me so much of this interview.

Stem cell research has been stymied in this country, and other countries have surpassed us greatly. God, it's sad.

I want a bumpersticker that says

God hates Fundamentalists.

[pilotamurorei]

But religion is NOT proven by facts. It's HEARSAY

[lornloxor]

Republican dumbass: You just got served.

[baconeater]

The GOP is dead as long as they have to lick the Religious Right's butt hole.

[Z200a]

Especially when they keep getting caught doing it! ;-D

[plimbuff]

The Republicans are in deep shit.

[Atheistprimate]

Gop = Goofy outdated pinheads

[Novinte]

They just press play and those GOP talking points(fresh from the election) come just quick as hell out of his mouth.

[il128]

Wow, the gop is backwards...

[RZetlin]

When Mike Pence answer is a quote from the Bible, when asked about evolution, then you know he is a talking mouth piece - spewing out GOP talking points.

[brawnymike]

God bless the Flat Earthers, 'cause nobody else will!
