Agnostic here, I support him because he doesn't have a backstabber personality (which is the feeling I get with all the other smiley candidates) and I like his stances. I'm trying to overlook his stupidity when it comes to science and faith, at least he's not as bad as Rick in the department as far as I can tell.
"Theory"!!!!!!!!! is the key word! I don't believe that story either! we don't all have to believe the same theory. why don't you all believe the creation theory, or the ancient alien theory! evolution for human beings is not a fact is a theory!!!
Evolution is just a theory, science evolves daily. It is not the ultimate truth, it is just what we know so far. Saying that the theory of evolution did or did not happen really doesn't matter as there is not completely solid proof saying it did happen. Yes, I do believe in evolution, but I do not consider it the ultimate truth. RP is right, there is no one on Earth that can prove the theory of evolution did took place. Just like god, there is no proof god exists.
Evolution - a theory that has strong factual background such as tracing DNA to other organism, Bones of human ancestors such as the Australopithecus, and the trend we continue to see in living creatures today
Creationism - God zapped us into existence in 7 days, nothing has changed it was put here 3000 years ago, no factual context can support it
So after analzying each one which one sounds more reasonable science that has proof or a book 2000 years old that has no proof. Any one wants to debate
@JSBselvas I do not hate Ron Paul I am indifferent on him. However i hate his take on Iran and letting them getting a nuclear weapon. You see Ron Pauls only idea of dealing with Iran is using deterrence like the United states did against the U.S.S.R stockpiling nukes, the only difference is the Soviets were atheist and did not want to die. Were the religious Site leaders who are fundamentalist of Islam do not care if they die they would gladly die to see Israel wiped off the face of the earth.
@Hippiehater523 RP doesnt want Iran to get a nuke. He feels that us bombing and flying drones over a country that doesn't even have an airforce just makes them hate us more. We have been attacking Iran since the 70s, and Osama has come on video and said that if we were to not stop bombing them, they would attack us (9/11) We needed to get Osama, which we did, but we have been in there nation building for way too long. If there were Chinese military bases in Texas would you be mad?
@Hippiehater523 The difference between rp and other candidates is that his views do not affect his agenda. He's pro life, but wants the issue of abortion dealt with at the state level, meaning if the state of Maryland voted to legalize abortion, it would be legal. Same as religion. He's a Christian, but not a single one of his religious views affect the way he'd run America.
@lordmahan11 I do want to say that I don't always trust polls though. The bottom line is that the theory of evolution is just like cell theory or any other widely accepted scientific theory. The theory of evolution has stood up to 150 years of scientific scrutiny and every new related discovery backs it up. It is not an opinion.
@lordmahan11 Adults in America. Most polls show the only around 30% of adults in the US supported the theory of evolution. In other polls that I found, it seemed a number of scientists agreed that this was , in part, the fault of the American media. There was either not enough coverage, coverage of 'junk science', and the media just oversimplifying the science in general.
@lordmahan11 First just to clarify, it is impossible to prove the theory 100% because you would have had to been alive hundreds of millions of years ago to actually see it. Second, if you are implying that few scientists support the theory of evolution, this would be incorrect. In one Gallup poll 99.85% of today's earth and life scientist support the theory of evolution. There are other polls, but the results are similar when we are talking about world scientists. It was a different story cont-
believing in god is like believing in (insert other false diety, fairy tale character, flying spaggeti monster or imaginary frined here) people who do shouldnt be allowed to breed and should not be allowed to proliferate their ideas. should probably be wiped out. you wipe out all creationists and you have just killed the biggest cancer in our society
@Hadesofthe07 ... No. It's sick minded individuals like yourself that are the cancer. God exists. Nothing can not create something out of nothing. God is beyond material things and God created us all!
Ron Paul is a Freemason Liar & He's OLD He couldn't UNderstand the question?? He thought the guy said do you Believe in POLLUTION LoL!! I'm a Born Again Christian & i Don't Believe in POLY-ticians!! Hmm?? Psalms~ 146:3 Put NOT your TRUST in PRINCES, nor in the son of man, in whom there is NO help! Did you hear that?? Got Jesus? Don't be CAUGHT DEAD without him! :)
I don't like creationism and I disagree with Ron Paul on this. But I still support him, because I know he won't push his religious beliefs and ideologies on people. He's for personal liberty and that's the most important thing.
?Why is this topic in a political light? It does not matter what one individual believes. They have the right to believe it. The point is. The Federal Government has no place to force us to believe in the theory of evolution or any other belief. 1st amendment + separation of church and state are good things.
@laxinbd Lol, he lost your vote because you don't agree with him on how the world started? What he believes in irreverent to how well he can run the USA.
The mistake that most anti-evolutionists make is that they equate evolution to Darwinism. Yes, he first proposed and formalized the idea, but there have been over 150 years of scientific research since. We now have a sophisticated understanding of how organisms evolve. Genetics, Microbiology, Developmental Biology, evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology...all these fields and more depend squarely on the assumption that things are evolving. What nobody knows for certain is how life began.
There is alot of out of place anomalies like homosapien modern skeletons in 6million year old rock and more. Google ancient anomalies. Evolution theory has holes in it like every science.
may not agree with that statement. but yea he has his right to believe what he wants. he said we have a right to believe what we want. not that he don't believe in it. because he's not sure of it him self. so you gotta change the name. to ron paul unsure of theory of evolution.
PEOPLE ARE TALKING THAT RON IS NOT DOING ANYHING TO MINE THE NON-WHITE VOTEBANK
BUT WAIT A SECOND, THAT WOULD BE A CHEAP GIMMICK AND BE SUCCUMBING TO DIVISIVE POLITICS. RON DOES HIS DUTY AS A TRUE AMERICAN AND HE WONT PLAY CHEAP TRICKS FOR POPULARITY, WHO WOULD NOT BE TEMPTED TO GET MORE VOTES? - NOT ♥ RON PAUL ♥ HE STICKS HIS GROUND AND WANTS TO SAVE AMERICA AS A WHOLE
HE WANTS EVERY AMERICAN TO HAVE FINANCIAL COMFORT AND FREEDOM, HIS POLICY IS DEEPER THAN BLACK-WHITE-HISPANIC
Darwin described a lot of facts that challenged the authenticity of how life was created. We all can understand this, but the issue is this: People will generally believe something to be true when it seems easier to believe it is so. For example, if someone says they have proof you do not have to believe in something, then people will do so. Persuasion can be achieved when people have a weak mind. And after generations and generations of weak minded people,come this very argument of Evolution
For the information of many: the debate is NOT between "evolutionists/Darwinians and Creationists"; it's between Darwinian dogmatists and the entire rest of the world. It is false, unscientific and stupid to claim or suppose that the only alternative to the evolution dogma is "Creationism". True science is not so limited as that. We'll never learn if we insist on defending one or another false theory rather than continuing to do research.
@TalesBZ that excuse might work for kids, but any adult who lacks the capacity to realize there is no god is an idiot. maybe he is just faking it for politics but if thats the case hes a whore. so hes either an idiot or a whore, believe whatever makes you feel better.
@bobbygnosis Evolution is no religious ideology. It's the best explanatory theory we have in biology accounting for more things in the world than creationism could ever do.
As a medical doctor Ron Paul should know better. Because in science you're not free to believe whatever you like.
@baseballplayer1251 Yes, you are free to believe whatever you like. Even in science. Note that the eternal truths change very often. Many people still believe that there's such a thing called substance. Scientists are still looking for it because they think it exists.
But think what you like. I don't particularly care.
@bobbygnosis No, absolutely wrong. You may use your fantasy and imagine whatever you like, e.g. that the earth is flat, the sun revolves around the earth or that there is no evolution, because it doesn't need to be true.
But as a scientist you're not allowed state falsehoods. Saying that there is no evolution is obviously false.
@bobbygnosis yeah yeah whatever i forgot to write (sry for bad English) what is yr god damn problem now u understood the fucken sentence didnt u ? or u just have to nag about it.
@bobbygnosis yeah yeah whatever i forgot to write (sry for bad English) what is yr god damn problem now u understood the fucken sentence didnt u ? or u just have to nag about it
@abdoyui yeah yeah whatever i forgot to write (sry for bad English) what is yr god damn problem now u understood the fucken sentence didnt u ? or u just have to nag about it
@baseballplayer1251 There's mutations, but there's not a drop of evidence to suppose that, as a result of natural selection, we grew from single celled organisms to humans.
Even if that were true, based on the theories own timetables, it would take billions and trillions of years, that simply is not the case.
Ofcourse you could say we got lucky and it happened perfectly.
@baseballplayer1251 Also, it wouldn't matter for religious people, as we believe in God, and there is nothing that can prove or disprove that matter; if evolution is true, we'd thank God for evolution.
he is correct, and if he did believe in the adam and eve story so what...he is the best candidate out there and his religious views has no major impact to his political agenda
@xposingfalsehoods ...yes they do because he keeps himself solid on the principles of Christianity... if he didn't then he would believe in abortions, enforcing a deliberately useless war, basically, whatever micromanagement he could get his hands on for the sake of power and the overtake of this country...Oh yeah, and if it weren't for his "religious views", he wouldn't be telling everyone the TRUTH...
I think the Evolution vs.creation theory is a big smoke screen and there's no way to answer it without pissing off somebody and it's also pretty unimportant as to where we go from here.
@Zeinouto But you are absolutely right, Zeinouto. Dawkins is no doubt, fanatical. He is also very arrogant and cocky and for no reason. That just ends up doing exactly what religion is guilty of doing: separating people. However he also happens to be a very intelligent scientist, whose evidence holds up.
@Zeinouto ....symbiosis. There are significant differences between the two. And those who presented this natural selection avenue, or at least many of them, were in high social standing and had eugenic belief systems which they used as bedrock to sustain a vision of the world in accordance to their vision of society.
@Zeinouto First of all, I don’t know why you guys are bringing atheism or god into the argument. I recommended Dawkins book only because it’s a great book for the evidence of evolution, which is what the topic was. But there are problems with arguments that mainstream atheists make. For instance evolution as proof against god. Evolution through natural selection is a very dubious and suspect conclusion to come to. I think the correct way to understand evolution is more like: evolution through...
I'm an atheist and I support Ron Paul! His belief on whether or not we evolved should be the least of everyone's worries when you have a corrupt Federal government.
@Zeinouto Our UNDERSTANDING of evolution isn't perfect. But nobody said it was. The theory that complex life evolved from simple life, and all life originated from initially ONE form of life is PERFECT and will NOT change. This is not just a "theory". This is a fact. This is about as solid a fact as it can be. We have more proof of evolution than the existence of F***ING ATOMS.
dude's just tryin to appeal to his base, get over it you liberal faggots
the guy is the best choice right now for president, but little shit like this is why libs won't vote for him, meanwhile Obama has turned out to be Bush version 2 and apparently can do no wrong in their eyes. Liberals simply don't pay attention, just as bad as dumbass empty headed conservative retards
In some ways evolution is true. I did work in an evolution science laboratory and I came to the conclusion went I left that evolution is not 100% true. Mr. Ron Paul will win the GOP.
Lucky for me, my beleif in Evolution tells me that when times get tough, Ignorant people who wait for their imagionary friend in the sky to save them will inevitably die off. Hooray Natural Selection! :)
Ron Paul is old, he comes from simpler times (and the south). Evolution and Gravity are both theories but we didn't denounce gravity when we achieved flight. Of course there are pieces of the puzzle we havn't placed yet, but ignoring the evidence doesn't make it go away.
P.S. the Vadican and the Pope recognizes the validity of the theory of evolution.
"In order for progress to occur, some things have to become a non-issue so we can move on to the next problem" - Bill Maher
@MsHotmayo There's absolutely nothing wrong with coming from the south. That just happens to be where Creationism is tought in schools. If its all you've been told your whole life, i dont expect you to beleive otherwise.
The theory of evolution and gravity are just theories explaining how it occurs. The theory you're probably referring to is Einstein's theory. The theory of evolution has to do with natural selection and all that shit.
@chronDiggity Your reply was a lesson in self contradiction. Einstein's theory of relativity was to explain how light energy and matter interact in our physical universe. HOWEVER, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution deals with "natural selection and all that shit" as you so sophicatingly put it. As recent discoveries have shown us, there are reasons that these are called theories and not laws like Newton's findings. We may have exceeded Einsteins the light speed at CERN earlier this year.
I think there definately are species that have evolved, but the Darwinian model has as many holes as modern day religion. So in a way I agree with him.Way too many assumptions in both.
@1980viracochas Evolution is a fact. How it works is the theory. You shouldn't use the word think. It's I know. Not I think. Evolution is documented and can be seen with the naked eye. We talk about evolution everyday on the news. New bacteria this, new virus that, strain resistant this. Just look how human intervention has shaped the genes of dogs as one example. Gene flow is also a direct visible factual base that evolution is real. Ron Paul is a nice man, we agree on saving the USA.
Almost NONE of the dogmatic evolutionists have actually read Darwin's book, "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" nor the many books written by contemporary scientists which effectively disprove Darwin's interesting theory.
Darwinians defend their crackpot idea so rabidly precisely because it is a faith-based dogma and most decidedly NOT factual.
@KaptKan1 Leep lying to yourself. Find me a SINGLE biologist who thinks what you just said is true in any way. Oh, and they need a real degree, not a christian one.
@EL3CTR0dream The first thing we know is that you have never read "Natural Selection", so you don't know what you are talking about at all. Secondly, you discount as "real" any degree held by a Christian?! That's the "scientific method"?! Third; there are dozens of books written by all manner of people, which demonstrate the falseness of Darwin's theory [Darwinian Fairy Tales by David Stove and Darwin's Black Box by Micahel Behe, for two] , but you won't read them. Keep lying to yourself.
@KaptKan1 Read Richard Dawkins' book "The Greatest Show on Earth." See if you still have ANY doubt whatsoever about evolution. He's a scientist. He's not a fundamentalist, he's an evidence driven, rational person. Check his book out. Talk to me after that. And I will not only promise you, you will not have the same opinions you do now, but you will be wondering how it was you didn't know this information sooner.
@PattyGilMo Read it. See Zeinouto's comments. Your theory IS just that and not a fact. And we have NO "proof of evolution" whereas we DO have verifiable proof of the existence of those "F***ING ATOMS". You would do well to read "Darwin's Black Box" by Michael J. Behe, "Darwinian Fairy Tales" by David Stove, and "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin. Few raving evolutionists have ever read Darwin's book itself.
@KaptKan1 "No evidence for evolution" ??? What would you call it when a given species, whose environment changes, develops new structures that were never before seen in previous species, in only 30 generations? What would you call that?
Google "still just a lizard"
And yes, I've read Origin of Species and it's been quite a long time now, but around 10 years ago, I remember stumbling upon some videos by Kent Hovind, some other creationists / IDers. And mind you, I didn't believe in god....
@KaptKan1 ...I wasn't religious at all, but I watched them just out of curiosity. And I was literally uncertain all the sudden about evolution. Those f***ing videos and those arguments are so sly and tricky, and I didn't know enough science back then that I actually started thinking that what they were saying might have actually been true. It's not that I knew they were right, but those videos and lectures did enough to make me think that there simply wasn't any actual consensus, ot that....
..the theory of evolution was "just a theory" or that "carbon dating doesn't work." So I started reading textbooks. I started getting the "other side's" opinion on the matter. You know, science...
And I found out that each and every single claim those criminal f***ing lying tricky slimy bastard creationists made were BLATANT lies. Not just "oops, we interpreted this a little wrong." NO. BLATANT F***ING LIES. And the ONLY way they can survive as lies like that is by people who refuse to learn...
...science. I have never met one single person yet who has any understanding of the actual science, who disagrees with evolution.
The idea is to realize these creationist / IDers / anti-evolution people are PARASITES. They are literally poisoning children's minds, creating a nation of idiot morons. Slimy, disgusting, narrow minded, unscientific morons. Their opinions deserve no respect or consideration after they have been so clearly refuted at every angle. And I mean EVERY ANGLE.
@PattyGilMo So Dawkins is a "scientist" is he? So what?! Lots of people have degrees from universities in the various sciences; it neither makes them accurate nor well-informed nor omniscient nor unanimous.
As for God, here are a couple of others who agree with Dawkins:
"Thousands of natural catastrophes and epidemics are preferable to the slightest notion of God." ~ Vladimir Lenin
"For man is the supreme being. It is thus vain to speak of God, creation, etc." ~ Karl Marx
@Brysey19 I HAVE read it, painful as it was (it's horribly written as are all books which are based on conjecture, guesswork and trying to fit facts to a preconceived theory), so once again your conclusion is false. Your asinine "straw man" arguments here show the weakness of your arguments also.
You are an answer to prayer, because I always pray that the enemies of truth be clumsy and stupid.
This is my final communication to you because, "Only a fool tries to educate an idiot."
All the big scary words doesn't make it horribly written. It is in fact one of the greatest publications in history. I propose if creationists refuse to beleive in the scientific proof for the Theory of evolution, we'll take it back and you won't have to worry about it. But we're also taking away all the other scientific breakthroughs that are not in the bible. Enjoy the bronze age Confederates.
@EL3CTR0dream I'm an Italian biologist with Italian degree in Biological Sciences and master specialization in Ecology and yes, I know that Darwin's theory is founded on a pure faith act, since scientists never found proofs to demonstrate his theories as true. Exactly as believing in church's god is a pure act of faith. At this point, evolutionism is like an alternative religion opposing to the "official" religions. You could trust in Darwin's evolutionism or not. Proofs of it? Still no.
@AzzurroItalia "since scientists never found proofs to demonstrate", I already know you are full of shit. You couldn't be a biologist and believe such nonsense. Natural selection as a method of choosing genes is well tested. Nice try troll.
@EL3CTR0dream Evolutionary theory is about phenotypic changes through genes selection. I don't pretend you could understand what i'm going to tell you but: 1. science is not able to find proofs of how evolution had pulled unicellular organisms to switch to multicellular one; 2. science can't prove if and how biological evolution had generated heterogamic sexual strategies starting from autogamic organisms; 3. scientists can't even know if...
@EL3CTR0dream ...the evolutionary genesis of life forms on earth is based on a monophyletic or a polyphyletic way and they are not even sure on where the site of the life blooming could be individuated on earth; 4. never heard of "missing rings"? science don't have a complete paleontological record which can demonstrate the exactness of Darwin's theory about the structural modifications of life forms on earth. So, if you know (and you don't know) that the basic pillars of evolutionism can't...
@EL3CTR0dream ...be demonstrated, you can also understand that believing in evolutionism is like saying "In God we trust", just substitute the term god with the name Darwin. Nice try ignorant.
Curious... if he believes in freedom so much, who is going to regulate the "freedom" to discriminate??? Oh yeah, leave it to the states, that worked SOOOO well before segregation!
@EL3CTR0dream Keep in mind that it was big government, absent of states rights, that enslaved the African and Indian peoples in the first place. This is precisely why the hypocritical existence of empire is so detrimental to civilization. In almost all other instances in history proceeding the 19th century slavery was simply a given. Unsurprisingly, all were under the thumb of authoritarian or even totalitarian government; completely absent of states rights of any kind.
@Mechanized0 I am certainly not arguing your point about authoritarianism, however you are only considering Western civilizations. It is simply not true that everyone was a serf around the world before the 19th century. Was there less freedom overall 200 years ago? It depends on who you ask. There weren't any surveillance cameras or credit systems then.
No more support from me. Dr Paul is an idiot if he doesn't understand that a theory is NOT the same as a hypothesis, which is what he means. Evolution is a demonstrable FACT.
Go ahead, run third part, ensure that the rest of the science haters stay out of office along with you Paul!
systematic ideational structure of broad scope, conceived by the human imagination, that encompasses a family of empirical (experiential) laws regarding regularities existing in objects and events, both observed and posited. A scientific theory is a structure suggested by these laws and is devised to explain them in a scientifically rational manner.
@EL3CTR0dream The theory is demonstably false. Charles Darwin himself said that if the horde of "missing links" (upon which his theory rests) were not discovered within 50 years of the publication of "Origin" then it would have to be false. 150 years later those links are still missing. Darwin also said that the facts could just as well be "...leading to conclusions directly opposite to those at which I have arrived." He was more honest than the high priests of the evolution dogma.
@EL3CTR0dream So because you have a personal disagreement with Dr. Paul on a non-politico-economic point you're withdrawing your support? This move is quite irrational. The question one should be asking him/herself is whether or not Dr. Paul believes in liberty. Is this not the primary goal individuals wish to achieve? One can either live under a tyranny or liberty. Whether or not they believe in evolution is irreverent.
@Mechanized0 Precisely. If a man stands in front of me and declares evil to be good, white to be black, or that planes fly by magic then they shouldn't be allowed to lead the country.
bullshit. What does that have to do with understanding economy and foreign policy? You're exactly who I talked about before. Liberal asshat who can't see that this isn't something that should keep someone from being president.
Obama acknowledges evolution, and look at how much of a disaster he's turned out to be. Your logic isn't sound at all. Being a good leader and acknowledging evolution are two mutually exclusive things.
Who gives a fuck about evolution. Yes its a fact but its not going to save us in the current financial crisis. I swear the media wants him dead I mean it seems nobody including some of the American people are not intelligent enough to find a politician to help them but we have one now and hes right in front of us. Its frustrating so frustrating
i'm starting to get itchy with my rifle... everyday I look at it... Anyone else feel like this....i'm a pretty rational human being. I'm just getting a little tired of relying on congress to have my freedom when I ought to just take it.
Agreewing with some1 on evolution has nothing to do with voting for the president of the United States. I think every1 should agree about that, which is why i dont understand why people even bring it up. Evolution is obviously true but that doesnt mean the Bible is not.
In the modern age if you can't grasp the difference between myth and science, then I'm sorry, but I think you lack some basic knowledge in order to receive the highest seat in the USA. Then again, this individual can act ignorant in order to get more votes, but I wouldn't vote for him for his dishonesty. It's time we Americans grow over this.
Evolution is theory ,ok!What is creationism?A pure science filed up with fact!For me just a mithology.Anyway Ron Paul is the best USA can offer in this days.
Ron Paul has it right. Man evolving from apes is just a theory. It uses logic and makes sense when you look at nature and wonder how things came to be. A great story, just like people who are atheist think that the Bible is a great story. But we do not need governments forcing ideas and theories on us and telling us how to live, because nobody really knows the truth. We need the freedom to explore the truth for ourselves. God Blessed America with Ron Paul.
@Civsuccess2 no one knows and to not vote for someone about that is stupid, stupid is overlooking all the problems we face and using one stupid excuse to avoid the most qualified candidate...focus on the issues.
The president's personal views on global warming, evolution, gay marriage don't matter. When are the masses in this country going to understand that? We're idiots. The only thing that matters is whether the president will uphold the Constitution and endorse personal liberty and freedom, and whether or not they'll be a leader for what the founder fathers fought for.
This man is so wise, so i'm really suprised he does not believe in evolution. Yet i would still vote for him if i were an American, because he seperates his religous believes from state and respects other opinions
If people want to believe in mythological creatures like Neanderthals, we can tolerate them. But when evolutionists form into dictatorships in schools and in the scientific community and force their myths onto others, they have to be removed from positions of responsibility. Atheists are a tiny group of zealots, but through unethical means, they set themselves up as an oppressive regime that stifles science and persecutes free thinkers. Atheists=dictators. Atheism opposes free societies.
@EarthRover Um...What? Throughout history hasn't Christianity "force[d] their myths onto others" and for the longest time exiled or punished those who believed differently? So in that case for the longest time didn't Christianity oppose free societies (and some cases still reject ideas, like evolution?(Of course not all Christians: Ron). I'm an Atheist who does not reject creationism or any other theory for there are still questions about evolution (but I do accept that evolution has occurred)
@superfan890too Everybody in a free society is free to express their faith, even a faith in evolutionism. However, nobody has a right to impose his faith onto others as evolutionists have done in the scientific field and in the school system. Free thought is not the norm because an atheistic priesthood replaced a religious priesthood. We now have a new evil priesthood that controls science in its own interests rather than in the interest of scientific advancement. Same enemy- new name.
@EarthRover In school it isn't forced and is actually stated as "This scientist claimed..." or "This scientist thought..." and then would be followed by the proof the scientist had or of those who pursed their theorems and not "This is how it happens". It is only those who are extreme atheist who push their views as well as those who are extreme Christians who push their views so it is only those extremist (who happen to get the most attention). They both have their evil priesthoods.
The thing I like about Ron Paul is that no matter what his beliefs, he acknowledges and respects my Right to my beliefs, no matter how different they may be from his. This is why he has my vote.
I think evolution is a total possibility. It is a theory and I didnt see it happen just like no one else did... which is why there is no possible way for anyone to say they are anything but agnostic and still be credible. If were going to talk about gut feelings then yea, i think a ghost story is less likely. BUT DESPITE THIS I still go for RON PAUL because come on.... these talks dont say anything about his economic policy and that is what is important. Truth is no one can say for certain.
I like Ron Paul but this is just sad. You either accept evolution or you deny it.
The evidence FOR evolution is not only literally OVERWHELMING, but it explains EVERYTHING that so called "Intelligent Design" tries to take credit for.
If one doesn't accept evolution, the only possible reason is because they are ignorant of the facts. I honestly have never met anyone...ANYONE, who criticized evolution who wasn't either a charlatan, a fool, or simply an uninformed follower of charlatans or fools.
@PattyGilMo He has to choose between his religion and this notion of evolution. Many scientists (who believe in a religion) actually don't believe in Evolution though they accept it because, well, they're scientists and it's their field. He doesn't deny those who choose to believe it, he just doesn't himself; rather he can't. If he does, he'll have to give up his Christian beliefs. He chooses not to be a hypocrite. That is why I like this man so much even though I believe in Evolution.
Atheists can accept that evolution is a theory. Most christians deny it 100%. That truly pisses me off.

I invite you to google the difference between "theory (common usage)", and "Theory (scientific)"... You will find they do not mean the same thing.
A Scientific Theory = accepted as fact.
A colloquial theory = hunch or suspected truth.

Evolution is just a theory, science evolves daily. It is not the ultimate truth, it is just what we know so far. Saying that the theory of evolution did or did not happen really doesn't matter as there is not completely solid proof saying it did happen. Yes, I do believe in evolution, but I do not consider it the ultimate truth. RP is right, there is no one on Earth that can prove the theory of evolution did took place. Just like god, there is no proof god exists.

Evolution - a theory that has strong factual background such as tracing DNA to other organism, Bones of human ancestors such as the Australopithecus, and the trend we continue to see in living creatures today
Creationism - God zapped us into existence in 7 days, nothing has changed it was put here 3000 years ago, no factual context can support it
So after analzying each one which one sounds more reasonable science that has proof or a book 2000 years old that has no proof. Any one wants to debate

You see Ron Pauls only idea of dealing with Iran is using deterrence like the United states did against the U.S.S.R stockpiling nukes, the only difference is the Soviets were atheist and did not want to die. Were the religious Site leaders who are fundamentalist of Islam do not care if they die they would gladly die to see Israel wiped off the face of the earth.

@Hippiehater523 RP doesnt want Iran to get a nuke. He feels that us bombing and flying drones over a country that doesn't even have an airforce just makes them hate us more. We have been attacking Iran since the 70s, and Osama has come on video and said that if we were to not stop bombing them, they would attack us (9/11) We needed to get Osama, which we did, but we have been in there nation building for way too long. If there were Chinese military bases in Texas would you be mad?

@lordmahan11 I do want to say that I don't always trust polls though. The bottom line is that the theory of evolution is just like cell theory or any other widely accepted scientific theory. The theory of evolution has stood up to 150 years of scientific scrutiny and every new related discovery backs it up. It is not an opinion.

@lordmahan11 Adults in America. Most polls show the only around 30% of adults in the US supported the theory of evolution. In other polls that I found, it seemed a number of scientists agreed that this was , in part, the fault of the American media. There was either not enough coverage, coverage of 'junk science', and the media just oversimplifying the science in general.

@lordmahan11 First just to clarify, it is impossible to prove the theory 100% because you would have had to been alive hundreds of millions of years ago to actually see it. Second, if you are implying that few scientists support the theory of evolution, this would be incorrect. In one Gallup poll 99.85% of today's earth and life scientist support the theory of evolution. There are other polls, but the results are similar when we are talking about world scientists.

The mistake that most anti-evolutionists make is that they equate evolution to Darwinism.

Genetics, Microbiology, Developmental Biology, evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology...all these fields and more depend squarely on the assumption that things are evolving. What nobody knows for certain is how life began.

Darwin described a lot of facts that challenged the authenticity of how life was created. We all can understand this, but the issue is this: People will generally believe something to be true when it seems easier to believe it is so. For example, if someone says they have proof you do not have to believe in something, then people will do so. Persuasion can be achieved when people have a weak mind. And after generations and generations of weak minded people,come this very argument of Evolution

For the information of many: the debate is NOT between "evolutionists/Darwinians and Creationists"; it's between Darwinian dogmatists and the entire rest of the world. It is false, unscientific and stupid to claim or suppose that the only alternative to the evolution dogma is "Creationism". True science is not so limited as that. We'll never learn if we insist on defending one or another false theory rather than continuing to do research.

Darwin also said that the facts could just as well be "...leading to conclusions directly opposite to those at which I have arrived." He was more honest than the high priests of the evolution dogma.

@EL3CTR0dream So because you have a personal disagreement with Dr. Paul on a non-politico-economic point you're withdrawing your support? This move is quite irrational. The question one should be asking him/herself is whether or not Dr. Paul believes in liberty. Is this not the primary goal individuals wish to achieve? One can either live under a tyranny or liberty. Whether or not they believe in evolution is irreverent.

@Mechanized0 Precisely. If a man stands in front of me and declares evil to be good, white to be black, or that planes fly by magic then they shouldn't be allowed to lead the country.

bullshit. What does that have to do with understanding economy and foreign policy? You're exactly who I talked about before. Liberal asshat who can't see that this isn't something that should keep someone from being president.
Obama acknowledges evolution, and look at how much of a disaster he's turned out to be. Your logic isn't sound at all. Being a good leader and acknowledging evolution are two mutually exclusive things.

Who gives a fuck about evolution. Yes its a fact but its not going to save us in the current financial crisis. I swear the media wants him dead I mean it seems nobody including some of the American people are not intelligent enough to find a politician to help them but we have one now and hes right in front of us. Its frustrating so frustrating

I think evolution is perfectly clear. That said, it was way WAY down on the list of things to think about for the president, especially right now.

I believe Paul actually is for evolution. But since the majority of Americans don't accept evolution i compltetly understand him lol.

Agreewing with some1 on evolution has nothing to do with voting for the president of the United States. I think every1 should agree about that, which is why i dont understand why people even bring it up. Evolution is obviously true but that doesnt mean the Bible is not.

In the modern age if you can't grasp the difference between myth and science, then I'm sorry, but I think you lack some basic knowledge in order to receive the highest seat in the USA. Then again, this individual can act ignorant in order to get more votes, but I wouldn't vote for him for his dishonesty. It's time we Americans grow over this.

Evolution is theory ,ok!What is creationism?A pure science filed up with fact!For me just a mithology.Anyway Ron Paul is the best USA can offer in this days.

Ron Paul has it right. Man evolving from apes is just a theory. It uses logic and makes sense when you look at nature and wonder how things came to be. A great story, just like people who are atheist think that the Bible is a great story. But we do not need governments forcing ideas and theories on us and telling us how to live, because nobody really knows the truth. We need the freedom to explore the truth for ourselves. God Blessed America with Ron Paul.

The president's personal views on global warming, evolution, gay marriage don't matter. When are the masses in this country going to understand that? We're idiots. The only thing that matters is whether the president will uphold the Constitution and endorse personal liberty and freedom, and whether or not they'll be a leader for what the founder fathers fought for.

This man is so wise, so i'm really suprised he does not believe in evolution. Yet i would still vote for him if i were an American, because he seperates his religous believes from state and respects other opinions

If people want to believe in mythological creatures like Neanderthals, we can tolerate them. But when evolutionists form into dictatorships in schools and in the scientific community and force their myths onto others, they have to be removed from positions of responsibility. Atheists are a tiny group of zealots, but through unethical means, they set themselves up as an oppressive regime that stifles science and persecutes free thinkers. Atheists=dictators. Atheism opposes free societies.
EarthRover 4 months ago
@EarthRover Um...What? Throughout history hasn't Christianity "force[d] their myths onto others" and for the longest time exiled or punished those who believed differently? So in that case for the longest time didn't Christianity oppose free societies (and some cases still reject ideas, like evolution?(Of course not all Christians: Ron). I'm an Atheist who does not reject creationism or any other theory for there are still questions about evolution (but I do accept that evolution has occurred)
superfan890too 4 months ago
@superfan890too Everybody in a free society is free to express their faith, even a faith in evolutionism. However, nobody has a right to impose his faith onto others as evolutionists have done in the scientific field and in the school system. Free thought is not the norm because an atheistic priesthood replaced a religious priesthood. We now have a new evil priesthood that controls science in its own interests rather than in the interest of scientific advancement. Same enemy- new name.
EarthRover 3 months ago
@EarthRover In school it isn't forced and is actually stated as "This scientist claimed..." or "This scientist thought..." and then would be followed by the proof the scientist had or of those who pursed their theorems and not "This is how it happens". It is only those who are extreme atheist who push their views as well as those who are extreme Christians who push their views so it is only those extremist (who happen to get the most attention). They both have their evil priesthoods.

The thing I like about Ron Paul is that no matter what his beliefs, he acknowledges and respects my Right to my beliefs, no matter how different they may be from his. This is why he has my vote.

I think evolution is a total possibility. It is a theory and I didnt see it happen just like no one else did... which is why there is no possible way for anyone to say they are anything but agnostic and still be credible. If were going to talk about gut feelings then yea, i think a ghost story is less likely. BUT DESPITE THIS I still go for RON PAUL because come on.... these talks dont say anything about his economic policy and that is what is important. Truth is no one can say for certain.

I like Ron Paul but this is just sad. You either accept evolution or you deny it.
The evidence FOR evolution is not only literally OVERWHELMING, but it explains EVERYTHING that so called "Intelligent Design" tries to take credit for.
If one doesn't accept evolution, the only possible reason is because they are ignorant of the facts. I honestly have never met anyone...ANYONE, who criticized evolution who wasn't either a charlatan, a fool, or simply an uninformed follower of charlatans or fools.

@PattyGilMo He has to choose between his religion and this notion of evolution. Many scientists (who believe in a religion) actually don't believe in Evolution though they accept it because, well, they're scientists and it's their field. He doesn't deny those who choose to believe it, he just doesn't himself; rather he can't. If he does, he'll have to give up his Christian beliefs. He chooses not to be a hypocrite. That is why I like this man so much even though I believe in Evolution.
