  • This video offers nothing to advocate evolution except to demean those who believe in creationism. What does that suggest to you?

  • @hamzah938 Evolution doesnt need to be supported by this video. Its assumed to be obvious to anyone with a high school education.

  • @Babylauncher3000 You need a 'missing link' and you will never find one. They will NOT tell you that in High School!

  • @hamzah938 And a prime mover. Mutation is not self aware, nor does environment affect reproduction beyond negative mutations.

  • I LOLed a the end!!!

  • we should build shrines to Newton, Maxwell, Einstein and all the other badasses who help huamnity clear away more and more of the ignorance that we embraced ourselves in for the first 99% of human history. why do we build shrines to religious morons instead?

  • @dalecampbl7 eh..... we have libraries, museums, streets named after them, lectures, monuments etc. .... that's kinda like shrines

  • @ZIONISTMAN1 If you ignore what the word Theory means within a Scientific context, it's no shock that you don't 'believe' evolution is true. You are indeed a disgrace to every educated person on this planet, if you consider yourself one of them.

  • the question is irrelevant. i dont give a fuck whether u believe in it or not. its like the president is going to impose his belief system on everyone else. i just care that u believe in peace.

    besides although im not a religious nut, i admit there is little evidence more for evolution than for creationism. we all like to flaunt like evolution is as obvious as 2+2, but it's not really.

  • @cdc482 Yes, it really is.

  • @jjukil

    ya youre right. ive done more research since then. there is a lot of very convincing evidence for evolution

  • It's scary that the president, who had control over vast amounts of nuclear weapons, prayed to a man in the sky.

  • Take a very close listen to this.

    They relate 2 + 2 = 4 and it being as truthful as evolution.

    Can you believe adults believe this garbadge?

    EVOLUTION IS NOT SCIENCE, NO MORE THAN TALKING ABOUT ROSH HASHANNAH MAKES ME JEWISH.

    They will say: lol evolution is a proven theory. lol

    NO IT'S NOT. IT'S AN ASSUMPTION, A BEST GUESS, IT EVEN FAILS THEIR OWN SCIENTIFIC METHOD.

    LOOK IT UP PEOPLE, DON'T JUST TAKE THIS AS A FACT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS SO.

    EVOLUTION THE GOSPEL OF ATHEISTS.

  • @ironcross66106 you probably watched kent hovind and went to creation sources. can you explain what parts of evolution are untrue? do you even know what natural selection is? also, i can't believe adults believe creation.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    I'm sorry, there must be a misunderstanding.

    I'm not here to even attempt to debate a person who say's there is no God.

    For this reason.

    For those that believe, no proof is necessary, for those who don't believe , no proof is possible.

    Also

    The fool has said to his heart, there is no God.

    And God's advice to me is: never argue with a fool, lest ye become one.

  • @ironcross66106 proof is possible, it's called science

    as far as your bible verse, that has no value, i'd rather an old book that thinks the earth is flat call me a fool than science and logic say it.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    To correct you on a few things.

    1. the Bible does not say the earth is flat.

    2. Scientific theory is NOT proof, it is a scientists best guess as to how something MAY have developed.

    Do you know what the word hypocritical means?

    You God haters attack believers for having faith, then turn right around and show faith in something NOT seen.

    Then claim it is much different because it's a scientific fact.

    No it's not!

    It is a theory, NOTHING more.

  • @ironcross66106 Isaiah 11:12

    12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. (KJV)

    "He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. "

    also, theories are things that have been put through alot of tests and past them. it doesn't mean it is fact and not a fact.

    gravity is a theory and fact

    evolution is a theory and fact

    science requires no faith, religion does

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    Again, the Bible DOES NOT SAY THE EARTH IS FLAT.

    WRONG! evolution is NOT a fact.

    Prove to me evolution is a fact.

    Can you give me ONE example of a transitional creature, transitioning from one creature to another?

    And don't give me the every creature is in transition.

    I am only asking for ONE EXAMPLE.

    One that can be proven, NOT by assumption, or a Guess.

  • @ironcross66106 why would there be transitional forms between species? it either is one specie or the other. also, WE deside what a specie is, who cares, don't get caught up in that. life is life. evolution is a fact, look it up, anything that isn't a religious source.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    WHAT?!!!

    I pray other atheist see what you just said.

    You said: why would there be transitional forms between species?

    Here is a quote from Charles Darwin himself:

    But, as by this theory, innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?

    My answer is: because there are NONE, and why?

    Because evolution is a lie.

    What comment is also staggering is: WE deside what a specie is.

    Cont.

  • @ironcross66106 i think you mean transitional forms between us now and our ancestors like 20,000 years ago. all i meant is the line was drawn somewhere between the ancestors and us. the last ancestor was pretty much the same as the first human. do you think the first humans looked like us, lol? we as human categorize life into species, breeds, races, ect. who cares if we never see a dog turn into something else. the definition keeps evolving along with the dog....

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    I cannot understand why you people can't get this.

    You are making an assumption, and claiming it's science, it's not science, it is speculation at best, and at worst lies.

    Look at how man things you just made up.

    1. ancestors like 20,000 years ago.

    2. the last ancestor was pretty much the same as the first human.

    You cannot, nor anyone else prove what you just said, doesn't that concern you at all???

  • @ironcross66106 how do you think we have immune systems if we didn't need them before "sin" and god could not have gave us them for obvious reasons?

  • @ironcross66106 for example, if our ancestors were smart enough to name them selves, we would probably be called the same as them. we just call them our ancestors because they are different enough. it happens slowly.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    Yeah it happens so slowely, it never even happens, that's how slowely it happens. lol

  • @ironcross66106 it does, pick up a science book. do you think evolution is where one day a hairy gorilla like creature popped out a modern day human? pick up a science book, and also does it concern you that the bible is not proven? the earth is not 6,000 years old, flat and made in 6 days virgins don't give birth snakes don't talk either do bushed ppl don't live in whales light did not exist before stars there were not birds before sea life or land animals prayer violates freewill ect.
  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    Do you think for a second it was only myself to notice you didn't answer my question?

    This is called A diversion.

    I ask a question you know you cannot answer, so rather than admitting I am right, you cause a diversion by asking me several questions, in an attempt to divert attention away from the fact that you cannot answer my question.

    Continued.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    P2

    The question was: You are making an assumption, and claiming it's science, it's not science, it is speculation at best, and at worst lies.

    Look at how man things you just made up.

    1. ancestors like 20,000 years ago.

    2. the last ancestor was pretty much the same as the first human.

    You cannot, nor anyone else prove what you just said, doesn't that concern you at all???

  • @ironcross66106

    1. ancestors like 20,000 years ago.

    not made up, google it. it's not worth posting a link when you don't believe science. r u 1 of those "the earth is 6,000 year old" ppl?

    2. the last ancestor was pretty much the same as the first human.

    again, do you thing evolution is were a hairy primape popped out a modern day human? there was just as much difference as my parents to me.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    I am asking you honest straight to the point questions that you cannot answer, and the only replies I get are either.

    1. Go read a science book

    Or

    2. I’m done feeding the troll; you religious nuts have to crazy of biases in science.

    Am I threatening to you because I don't believe something just because a scientist said it?

    Am I threatening to you because I ask you to prove what you claim is true?

    Is this not what atheists always demand of Christians?

  • @ironcross66106 what parts are you asking about, evolution all together? if so, reasd a science book because that is exactly what i'll say.

  • @ironcross66106 seriously, pick up a science book. you seem to like science when you THINK it goes with your religious agenda. if you don't think science books are true then i guess you don't think black holes, dark matter, other planets in other solar systems, atoms, particles exist. because it's "just in science books". YOU go and study and prove all those things if scientists don't know what they are doing. i'm done feeding the troll, you religious nuts have to crazy of biases in science.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    I love science, when it can be proven useing the scientific method.

    The statements made in science books stateing ancestors like 20,000 years ago are simply a guess, and that is the truth.

    You can't have it both ways, you cannot claim a scientific superiority by claiming a guess, an assumption is a scientific fact, just because a scientist said it.

    Doesn't it concern you that none of this can be proven?

    Again: do you believe it is all true because it's in a book.

  • @ironcross66106 i believe it because it makes sense, and the smartest ppl in the word say it's true.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    No, No, No these people are saying: this is what I think happened.

    Based on the information they have, this is what they THINK happened.

    Do you dispute this?

  • @ironcross66106 what makes you think that? you must have great knowledge of biology, please point out these flaws in the scientific theory of evolution.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.

    No one in human history has ever seem a transitional creature, transitioning from one creature, to another.

    If you have NEVER found a transitional creature you cannot observe it, nor test it.

    So in closing, they cannot test a theory that has NEVER been observed, or tested.

    All you end with is a hypotheses, that's it.

  • @ironcross66106 everything is transitional, you realize that, right? WE set the standards for what a specie is, life is life is life is life. who cares what we call things. how much change would it take for you to say there was a new species? if you can't answer that then what's your point? also, there are no transitional forms inbetween species, it either is one species or the other. the definition of cats always change, why would they evolve into something else?

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    I realize that is the lie all atheist evolutionists try to throw out when there is no transitional fossils found anywhere.

    I tell you God is real, and what do you say?

    Prove it, show me God.

    How is this any different than me asking you: show me the proof.

    I have faith in Jesus Christ.

    You have faith in evolution.

    That is the atheists religion, pure and simple.

    Continued.

  • @ironcross66106

    "I tell you God is real, and what do you say?

    Prove it, show me God.

    How is this any different than me asking you: show me the proof."

    i did and there is proof, you admit there isn't any proof for religion, that's the difference.

    i have no faith in science, just faith that you will not go your whole life believing fairy tails. (which you probably will)

    atheism has nothing to do with evolution and doesn't suggest anything, just mean a lack of belief in a god, ...

  • @ironcross66106 ...not the believe there isn't one. also, even if there was no evidence for evolution or if it were disproven, it would NEVER be a religion by definition. is santa clause a religion, is flat earthing a religion, is getting a math problem wrong a religion? no.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    Do you realize, you just proved what God's word say's?

    You said: there are no transitional forms inbetween species, it either is one species or the other.

    God's word say's: That every creature will produce after their kind, and after their likeness.

    It's wonderful to see science finally agree with what God said so long ago.

  • @ironcross66106 you know evolution also says that offspring will resemble their parents right? but you have to agree that although offspring resemble their parents, they also differ from them. and if some of those slight differences give a better chance at reproduction then those differences are going to be passed down. for example, you're either taller or shorter than your father, correct? if you are taller, then you are more likely to fuck a girl in the pussy with your dick. thats evolution

  • @ironcross66106 Do you know what these are?

    Redundant psuedogenes

    Transposons

    Indogenous Retroviruses

    What is your evidence against evolution?

  • @PhiloTheSceptic

    Yes to all three, with the exception of the spelling.

    And my evidence against evolution is the lack of any evidence that it happens at all.

    At least creationists have the Bible which has thousands of prophecies that were made well in advance, and yet has been fulfilled to the letter.

    We also have eye witness testimony to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    What do evolutionists have?

    Assumption, theory, and imagination.

  • @ironcross66106

    Firstly, if you understand all three then you clearly do have evidence for evolution. You are simply a denier and are not sceptical or scientific in your outlook.

    Secondly, as to the Bible, most of the so-called 'prophecies' are either wrong or ad hoc and are simple rationalised by the gullible, as you have obviously done.

    Thirdly, it shows your lack of knowledge in the field of evolutionary biology if you call them 'evolutionists' - nobody talks of such a thing but deniers.

  • @PhiloTheSceptic

    Sorry I'm not going to go round, and round with a person who does not have ears to hear, nor eyes to see.

    How can you debate a person on the color of the sky, when their blind?

    Sorry but I am much more interested in those I can reach.

  • @ironcross66106 Your understanding of Evolution matches that of my understanding of how can people from a well civilized country believe in any sort of religion, least of all christianity, which demonstrably false and insane. You hear that? Insane!

    It shouldn't bother me really, I realize there are all kinds of people with different intellectual capacity in the world but, it does bother me. A lot.

    And then you wonder why Atheists look down on you, little people...

  • @ironcross66106 and where do you think evidence for creation is? you think lack of evidence in evolution (which there isn't) proves creation and everything else in the bible like flat earthing, young earthing, and talking bushes?

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    Again, you fall back into the diversion defence.

    I cannot prove me point, so I ask you a few questions about your position.

    The subject were are discussing is, the lack of any evidence in evolution.

    And you cannot provide any, all you can say is: all creatures are transitional creatures.

    That is nice to say: Butr as they say: where's the beef?

    Where is the proof of your claim?

  • @ironcross66106 i said you believe creation without evidence but think evolution doesn't have any evidence but you think creation is science.

    what is wrong with saying that all creatures are transitional when you ask where the transitional forms are?

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    You said:it does, pick up a science book.

    Are you attempting to make a point that if something is in a science bookm it MUST be true?

    I am very interested in hearing this answer.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    I truely hope other atheists will see what you just said in your last post, and see for themselves the mentality that goes hand in hand with evolutionists.

    People just like you will dismiss God without researching the proof of the Bible, but if a so-called alien group landed on earth, and told you, they were humans creators, you, and others like you, would buy that lie, hook, line, and sinker.

  • God Bless America!. . . No seriously, if there's a God please bless america because otherwise they're fucked.

  • Americans.... :P

  • darwin was a moron

  • @cowboy45678 then don't get a flu shot

  • lololololololol

  • I actually resent very much the evolution question being asked as some kind of measure of intelligence...irks everytime. I would even go so far as to say that the president doesn't have to know a great deal of science. My problem was that the question was even asked, and apparently the three candidates saw nothing wrong with admitting their disbelief without further clarification or disapproval of the question.

  • @darkuser999 I disagree it's not about knowing science it's about being able to critically analyse data, being able to listen to experts in the field and to draw logical conclusions, all vital skills for a president. And personally i think the president should know a lot of science.

  • @darkuser999 if you dont' understand evolution you don't deserve to run a county

  • Not accepting evolution because a religious belief denotes a lack of imagination.

  • actually there is a massive amount of proof, creationism is a belief system, No one can observe evolution, because none of us can live for the millions of years it take for something to evolve, you are absolutely ignorant on the subject.

  • actually evolution has been observed.

  • @MrBlackfish011 You just have to a baby, and there you have it: Our species has evolved. No need to wait for millions of years. I didn't "observe" my great great grandfather either, but I have pretty good evidence that he lived.

  • @MrBlackfish011 Acrtually that's not entirely true, there is a species of bees in Latin America i believe it is that new species can be created in a matter of weeks something like ~12 weeks.

    And evolution is the best current explanation for transitional fossils until there is another even better explanation (unlikely) then that will be the accepted truth.

  • @MrBlackfish011

    In organisms with short enough generations we do see it. Drug resistant bacteria and viruses are direct observable evidence within our lifetimes of evolution.

  • @MrBlackfish011......You are absolutely ignorant on the subject. Evolution can be seen on a daily basis. Do you get a flu shot each year? Perhaps you've heard of MRSA? If not look it up. Antibiotic resistance maybe? All of these example are natural selection in action...the motor that drives the evolutionary process........America needs a biology lesson.

  • There is a magic called carbon dating. It magically lets us see how old fossils so yes we do know what species were alive then.

    BTW, evolution is not a theory the way you described it. Its a scientific theory meaning it has mountains of evidence supporting it and has yet to be disproven.

  • you should be immediately disqualified from commenting.

  • I liked Tom Tancredo until he denied evolution. WTF!

  • You don't know if the earth is 6,000 years old.... Sigh, this makes me cry...Mike is a governor!

    Of course the question is relevant... As a citizen of the U.S. I have a right to assess my presidential candidates' intelligence before casting a vote. Governor Huckabee, you seem like a nice man, but you just failed in science....

  • to bad every ancient culture have 3 stories 1 is a creation story 2 is a great flood story 3 is stories of big lizards walking the earth and also every ancient culture have there own gods

  • hey cowboy45678.....since you dont believe the way we come about with the age of the earth and evolution.....the next time you fall off your horse you had better not be getting x rays if you happen to break your arm. or bone scans or anything of that nature that relies on the same exact science.

  • What does the preponderance of evidence lead you to conclude?

  • cowboys trolling yall. way to go

  • Well maybe you can't imagine that but I can see the cave man in you.

  • uhhhmmm yea, the fact that we have FOSSIL EVIDENCE and DNA sequencing to PROVE that they did. ..... moron.

  • There were many species of dinosaurs. Of different sizes, anatomy, morpology etc.

    Birds did not evolve from Tyranasaurus rex. They did, however evolve from one spiecies of therapod dinosaurs.

    Cowboy45678, if you can disprove evolution, dont waste your time with us. Make a scientific theory and present it. If it holds up, you are sure to recieve a nobel prize. If you cant, shut up, cunt!

  • @cowboy45678 yeah because scientists are basically saying that the t-rex gave birth to a bold eagle, that pretty much sums up evolution

  • @cowboy45678 birds are dinosaurs

  • Gravity is also a scientific theory but if you dont believe in that then step of the nearest bridge!?!

    Furthermore there is alot more scientific research and evidence explaining how the theory of evolution works than the theory of gravity.

  • ya birds are dinosaurs what the dumbest thing a ever heard and man/apes is even dumber

  • holy crap, you actually think that birds are not evolved from dinosaurs? oh god..

  • you don't even understand the matter you are trying argue.

  • if evolution is just a fact then why can't the sciencetist prove it. there a lot of questions about it like were did it all stated. if the big bang is true were did it came form? were did the ooze came from? were are all the real missing link lucy was a fake so was the bird/dinosaurs

  • dude, open a fucking biology book.

  • @cowboy45678 woa your mixing up a lot of different topics there, where life came from is not part of evolution although obviously they're related topics, the big bang is not part of evolution nor is it related. What's ooze? No one can show you a missing link for the obvious fact that it's missing. But if you want a whole load of existing links try looking up the evolution of the horse on wiki.

  • Automatic DISQUALIFICATION!

    You shouldn't even have to 'believe' in evolution. It's fact not a theory or belief, everybody should believe in fact.

  • Why not debate over the sun revolving around the earth?

  • it funny that people believe that life come from ooz and not a creator. when the bible is older then the book of origin so do i believe in a book that been there since the beginning of time or a book that was made in 1859

  • The beginning of time is 2,000 years or so ago??? What about the creationist stories of aborigenies or other mythologies that far outdate the OT or the NT?

  • there are older books than the bible that lay out a theory in the creation of life and the universe

  • Theories no , stories YES.

  • it is amazing that air america is so unpopular. these guys are hilarious! this is truly amazing!

  • You just do not know what a theory is.

  • Wrong buddy! Evolution happened, the THEORY is how it happened.

  • cowboy, are you mentally retarded?

  • Yes he is, Mr. Patriot. Yes he is!

  • Evolution isn't a theory, it's a fact; proven by over a century of reasearch by a variety of scientific geniuses. Exactly how it happens is still a theory, but we are continuing to understand more and more about it. Why deny evolution when you can embrace it and learn from it? There is so much to gain from genetics, evolution, and science as a whole. By the way, there is literally hard evidence of evolution: it's called fossils dummy! Don't get me wrong, there is plenty more evidence there.

  • swine flu is proof of evolution. anyone who doesnt believe in it should never get a flu shot

  • HAHAH... nice one.. excellent point!

  • "don't act like it's anything but a theory."

    Evolution by natural selection is a fact, look it up.

    There are plenty of educational videos here on youtube, you could for example start by watching the video called "Carl Sagan explains evolution".

  • anyone saying "anything but a theory" automatically shows they no little to nothing about science.

  • every fossil is a missing link. Some of the more exciting ones include tiktaalik and archeaoptryx. Not to mention the hundreds of hominid fossils we have that pre date homo sapiens.

  • lol besides everything you said is wrong "darwin looked all over for the missing link" under the bed, behind the chair, in the stove....nope, no missing link....

  • are you a scientist? disprove the theory, and I believe you:)

  • thats good for you "cowboy45678". Belive that 2+2 isnt 4. You have the right to be retarded.

  • Give them credit, at least 70% of them accept the objective facts of science.

  • "I have to appeal to the cave men that are voting this party so ooh ahh ooh uh ahh."

    1:54 was funny.

  • if the bible is truth and god was a participant why does it reveal absolutely NOTHING about the world around us...the 10 commandments are nothing that a group of humans living in a small community couldn't come up with on their own. the same goes for eveything else....I am going to drop a load into a bible tonight because I do not want to waste a perfectly good kleenex...

  • 99.9% = 66.6 %

    hmmmm????

  • You know why creationists always win in a public debate. Because most of the audience is so ignorant and moronic that they actually back the religious nut job because most human beings are like sheep, they are easy to lead and want to have "faith" that their is a after life.

  • This "debate" is becoming so tiring to me as an evolutionist. We DO have an abundance of evidence in the fossil record along with transitional evidence to boot. I just can`t take creationists seriously. I can rest assured however that in time as more and more evidence mounts up creationism will be reduced to a mildly amusing notion that some of us USED to have. By the way ask a creationist if he/she has ever read Darwin, Dawkins, Hitchins, Adams,Lyle, etc. . of course not.

  • "This "debate" is becoming so tiring to me as an evolutionist."

    What's an evolutionist? Is that kind of like saying you are an einsteinian because you believe in einstein's theory of relativity?

  • Nice way of silencing people who disagree, you liberal fascist.

  • "Nice way of silencing people who disagree, you liberal fascist."

    Ah fuck "conservatives" and "liberals." Evolution is true anyways. There are free thinkers and their are people who follow the party line. God I wish there was a better word to use than "free thinker." Maybe I should say like someone who actually formulates their beliefs based on where the evidence leads them and not from personal upbringing or feelings.

  • Check out this evolutionist Bill Waggoner crying in the middle of a public debate and admitting he has been willingly ignorant and wrongly brainwashing his students as he apologizes to in the them in the audience. Amazing video!

    googledotcom/googleplayer.swf?­docid=-1530991418786520310&hl=­en&fs=true

  • evolutionists never lose lol, ur retarded

  • Evolutionists love to just call people names and ignore the facts as you can see. Send me a link of one debate where you would say the evolutionist wins a debate over a Creationist. Go ahead and do a search on youtube or google and watch all you can find. I can give you links where the evolutionist is laughed at by the audience and even one where an evolutionist starts crying and admits he has been ignorant and wrong. How about you step up and debate me.

    youtubedotcom/watch?v=0Fmh8PCm­rlk

  • ya, cause "evolutionists" are ALL the same. *rolleyes*. We arent real people, we are just "typical evolutionist". Evolution has much more evidence of truth than your or any other religion. If you dont think so, you should research it yourself. Ill give ya the keywords. Evidence of evolution.

  • Why wont anyone post a debate where an evolutionist wins then? Why won't anyone accept my challenge to debate them? It is because debating evolution is so easy a caveman could do it and evolutionists deep down know they have no evidence and simply have blind faith in other men that they think are smarter than themselves.

  • because creationists have no clue about science and dont understand technical wording and ideas. I searched for debates, but they appear to all be started hosted by creationists. You keep talking about debating, but you havent presented shit for an argument.

    If you have half a clue of PHYSICAL EVIDENCE and the fossil record, then you would obviously know that creationism is bullshit.

  • You guys obviously have not studied evolution or Creation in depth. I too used to blindly believe in evolution until I studied it in depth. Evolution is the biggest fraud in history and you guys are hilarious that your are so deceived just like the masses. I challenge you and could blow you away in a debate on the subject anytime. Why don't you guys explain to us why you believe in evolution and what evidence you have for it except blind faith.

  • 99.9% of the scientific community accepts it.

    I tend to believe people who study the subject, not those who can recite the bible

  • "99.9% of the scientific community accepts it.

    I tend to believe people who study the subject, not those who can recite the bible"

    You don't have to believe in evolution based on authority. You can simply look at the facts and see there is no other explanation.

  • Its so annoying when creationist try to LIE and say they have studied IN DEPTH evolution and its wrong. If you have studied evolution in depth you would know that its more logical than creationism. Shouldnt you be telling the TRUTH as a creationist instead of trying to DECIEVE people into thinking that you are smart enough to know both and picked creationism. Is that would Jesus would do? lol.

  • I would be happy to debate you on the subject in an online forum of your choice to test just how well we both know about the subjects. I always tell people to look up Creation vs Evolution debate and watch every video you can find because the evolutionist always loses. Why is that? That is why they now refuse to debate on the subject. Evolution is nothing new, it started when satan told Eve that she would become a god when she ate of the fruit. Nowadays people think they can evolve into gods.

  • u have to be an idiot to believe the world is 6000 years old and that all ppl came from adam and eve. its impossible

  • "is why they now refuse to debate on the subject."

    No they refuse to debate because it only degenerates themselves by stupiding down to arguing against ancient myths. When the scientists do real debates in court they win by a land slide. And don't tell me they are just liberal judges. Even a conservative Christian judge appointed by bush ruled strongly against ID being taught in public school.

  • Hmm... it's very interesting how this guy compared believeing in evolution to believe that 2+2=4. Its not nearly that simple. I'm sorry, but evolution just has not been proven. There is much evidence that seems to support evolution theory, but its far-fetched to call it a fact as simple as math.

    I believe the God of the Bible I understand that the purpose of the Bible is to understand, know, love, and have a personal relationship with God.

    Exactly how He created us remains a mystery.

  • @MarkSutherin87 2+2=4 isn't at all simple, Bertrand Russell spent 200 pages and ended up proving 1+1=2

  • are they from turkey

  • As a Democrat I will give them credit, at 62% of the Republican candidates they have a higher percentage then the country as a whole.

  • idiots who think that evolution isnt science watch my videos and extantdodo, and cdk007 for evidence.

  • I love how Huckabee says evolution is not a relevant question. OF COURSE IT'S A RELEVANT QUESTION! If you are so stupid that you don't accept evolution, then you are too stupid to be president of the US. It's an assessment of your intelligence. End of story.

  • I am consoled by the lack of hands raised. Within even the Republican candidates, it was a minority that doesn't accommodate an understanding of the process of evolution.

    The times, they are a changing. And for the better, too.

  • The question should have been, "how many of you don't believe New England will win the Super Bowl"? Common Turk.........they are politicians. So who really gives a rats ass anyway?

  • Also the entire world believed in Creation until 150 years ago when we made Charles Darwin an expert over God. Still today, the theory of Evolution is only accepted in some western cultures. Most of the world still believes their is a Creator.

  • "Still today, the theory of Evolution is only accepted in some western cultures."

    No.

    The only countries where the theory of evolution isn't widely accepted are:

    the US, radical islamic countries and 3rd world countries.

    What does this have to do with God anyway?

    You have to be crazy to believe that the OT is the 100% literal and true word of god.

    Also, in genesis, if you go back to the hebrew version, "day" should have been translated by "era".

  • THat's not true, most people in third world countries who know about evolution accept it!

  • pubman,

    Yes I agree, I was saying that all the remaining countries where people DID reject evolution were 3rd world countries. Not that people in 3rd world countries reject evolution in general.

  • Ok, fair enough, my point is that even in third world countries this is a minorty, which makes USA, the "greatest nation in the world" seem far less so, and very backward. (Of course, this is not taking into account the crazy theocracies in the middle east etc)

  • This is correct.

  • What do you mean "radical islamic countries?" All islamic-dominated countries believe in creationism. The only countries that believe in evolution are first world countries like America, Canada, and some European countries. His point that evolution is only accepted in the West is completely valid.

  • yes, all islamic countries, but the stronger the theocracy is, the weaker evolution is.

    I thought that most of asia accepted evolution.

    Maybe I'm wrong.

  • No you arent. Evolution is widely accepted in India, China, Russia, Sri Lanka, Malaysia etc etc... So you are correct

  • Who's calling who cave man? Creationists know they're made in God's image from earth itself. Evolutionists believe they're accidents made from slime to monkey to cave man.

    You can't believe in both evolution and creation. Evolution says we evolved into several species, which if true would be proved by several varieties of human in different stages, yet none can be found. The Bible says each species was formed seperately, only able to reproduce it's likeness, which still holds true today.

  • wow, thank you for your enlightenment. Now go take a freshman biology class and come talk to me. Wait, do they have biology in the south?

  • "Evolution says we evolved into several species"

    No it doesn't.

    In the theory of evolution, if you want speciation to occurr you will usually need geographical segregation of the species for hundreds or thousands of generations.

    Hasn't happened with humans so there's no reason to expect a genetic drift strong enough to induce speciation.

    "which still holds true today."

    Except for the fact that new species appear all the time, and speciation has been observed in lab experiments.

  • For speciation to occur you need geographical segregation, along with a high number of mutations in the segregated populations, a high amount of genetic drift, and gene flow kept to a minimum or stopped completely. Natural selection will keep the benefital mutations.

  • You might firmly believe in evolution, and you might have good reason to, but the way you present yourselves in this video removes all credibility from opinion on the matter. If you think that the origin of species is as simple and unarguable of a matter as the sum of 2 and 2, then I am liable to believe Huckabee, Tancredo, and Brownbeck have placed much more critical thought into the matter than you have.

  • ". If you think that the origin of species is as simple and unarguable of a matter as the sum of 2 and 2"

    The question wasn't wether or not they believed in darwin's account of evolution.

    The question is wether or not they believe in the (modern) theory of evolution.

    And yes, the fact that evolution happens, driven by mutations and natural selection is as simple as 2+2.

    Any real scientific controversy is over little details, like "How important are population bottlenecks"

  • If you truly believe in God being the ultimate being that he is, than evolution makes sense because it allows a species to adapt to its environment so it can survive and live on. God is a lot smarter than any of us can ever imagine to be and I'm pretty sure he would be smart enough to equip life in this universe with means to be able to adapt to their environment as it changes so that they can survive through time. If not, then why go through all the trouble to create life in the first place?

  • the ability of humans and animals to adapt to their surroundings... even via natural selection... even in such a way that the general gene pool of a species is changed permanently... is accepted (and even taught) by creationists. The ability of one species to gain genetic information in order to change into more species is what is denied by creationists.

  • Living in a country based on diversity means that each individual is granted their rights to feel and believe how they see fit. Those three men are up there attempting to REPRESENT this nation. Not rule. It would be a flawed system if every candidate felt the same. I appreciate that they are up there stating what they think in an attempt to speak to the majority of my co-citizens.

  • Yeah it doesn't mean they should be allowed to run the country.
