This "number" is obviously pulled from the host's ass, just like all the fake "studies" that make the republican look stupid. Actually you have to be dumb to believe this.

@ptolemyauletesXII That's true thanks for actually making a valid argument. I agree with everything you said, however I would also like to point out that scientists are generally atheist, christians have given the right wing a bad name in america, same reason you don't get many gay republicans. I'm sure if you took the bigotry out of the republicans the numbers would start to increase. I'm right wing in many ways and i would be embarrassed to say I voted Repubican if I lived in America.

@peteymandem Ah yes, but scientists are more likely than other people to look up statistics, check facts, look for causes and correlations, and in general live in the real world. I don't know about you, but those are traits and habits that I myself feel are useful in making any kind of decisions, political or otherwise. They are also traits I would hope to find in politicians I would vote for. They are also traits sadly lacking in the majority of the electorate.

@GSFY "What morons call "new magical mutations with out cause" are existing genes in the species..." Nobody but you calls beneficial mutations "magical" or "without cause." You do it because you are a creotard with little intelligence and a huge ego.

Mutations DO occur and most are neutral. Some are beneficial due to environment. The ability to digest lactose is an example that you deny because you are dishonest and only care about your Jehovah's Witless beliefs

[AlanCFA]

@GoodScienceForYou "There is no evidence whatsoever of evolution today in DNA studies. "

Yes there is. You simply deny it because you are a religious kook.

[AlanCFA]

@GoodScienceForYou "1 in 10 have rare genetic diseases..." Not true For single gene mutations, the rate is 1 in 200 and for the other three types, the rate is lower.

The American Diabetes Assn website says that genes are not enough to bring on diabetes - your claim that it is a genetic disease is bullshit, just like the rest of your claims.

@GoodScienceForYou "It has been proven that when people get a four year degree their IQ's go down at least 10 points." No it hasn't.

[AlanCFA]

@GoodScienceForYou "...caused by deleterious mutations, because there is no other kind of mutation..." Yet only yesterday you admitted that nylon-digesting bacteria are a mutant due to a frame shift mutation. Do you consider that ability deleterious?

What about the ability of humans to digest lactose - that is due to a mutation as well. Do you consider that ability to be deleterious?

[peteymandem]

@ymkamara420 another ignorant statement, learn to see things from your opponents point of view or your arguments are pointless
