This man was fantastic & people like him are sorely missed on TV. All we have now is talent shows & aimless chat. Being back Science

[ndyt]

gffran, evolution is a scientific theory proven by DNA, fossil evidence and lab experiments that can be repeated by anyone, even you.

@SocratesTheGadfly Yes, I am quite aware that the free market has been grossly violated repeatedly. All I am saying is that the socialist rapists consist of BOTH left wingers AND right wingers. Understand?

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@nurbSoldier WOW! you really are confused so let me give you some FACTS! fully two thirds of the worlds governments are liberal socialist communist in nature that DO NOT WORK and the current economic crisis was caused by those exact same socialist communist policies. you should also recognize that the obamunist administration is seeking the destruction of America from within by IMPOSING those same failed policies from europe. obama and the obamunists are the opposition to FREEDOM

@gmcjetpilot bible is not anti-science? The earth WAS made in 7 days? The earth IS flat? The Earth does NOT float in space? Stars ARE small enough to fall to earth and fit on it as described in Revelations?

Might want to read the bible from cover to cover and not just your favorite passages.

"if you read the Bible or the Koran or the Torah cover-to-cover I believe you will emerge from that as an atheist" - Penn Jillette

[nurbSoldier]

@SocratesTheGadfly yes, but they are also caused by right wing progressives and social conservatives like Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. The capitalists, free marketeers, civil libertarians and plain libertarians in general made a big mistake in allying with religious crackpots who are morally against everything they stand for. Which is why you get incoherent crackpots like Santorum, to be praised by the likes of Limbaugh as 'conservatism'

[MrDankyDanks]

Sounds like Agent Smith.

I am proud to be 22 and interested in science. Science has made the ability to appriciate it all the more. To participate in the same human endever that people have for thousands of years wonderful.

@chadmerlin

Blah blah you are boring me, yawn. You are a liar and never read the Bible. What verse? Do you know what parable and allegorical means? Try again. Do you see Jews, Christians stoning any one? Why? This is OLD testament for specific time, place, people. Things changed; that thing is Jesus Christ. We're now new testament people.

The BIBLE is not anti science, and science does not lead to atheism; and atheism does not lead to deep thinking or science. So you = fail troll.

[chadmerlin]

@gmcjetpilot i too read the entire, bible, i especially liked the parts in dueteronimy, (how ever you spell it) about stoning a girl who can't prove that she is a virgin when you marry her. also like the parts about stoning the rebelious son. I have a son, and i think that one will come in handy one of these days. praise jesus, and god, and what ever infaliable source, wrote down these words in a book 200, or sorry 2000 years ago in order to keep these idiots in line. (yes this is satire)

Hi appears too much.

[kampanas1]

A wonderful person.

The man looked away to escape the everyday vanity and pettiness. admired the correct human brain and not the breed. Was above the national and religious establishment.

The Champs Elysees is the position along with the great visionaries.

Carl Sagan you are immortal.
