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

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.

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.

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!
