guys, get over the evolution thing. how does his belief about that have anything to with anything? it's not even his field. he's not gonna impose his views on anyone. no-one is getting put in prison for believing evolution.

[zxcv73]

He's not saying that evolution is true of false, like we'd like him to, he just saying he doesn't really care, and it's not important to him. He's not a scientist, he wants to fix what he can and let others fix what they can. He says, Evolution? Eh... Economy? Oh I can help fix that. If you think evolution is such a huge deal, talk to someone else. Elephants pretty much don't have tusks in Africa anymore, kind of proves evolution to me, but others want more proof. So be it.

@MrROTD Our founders called this divine providence, or the endowment by our creator. What was understood at that time, was the actual identity of a creator was unnecessary. T. Jefferson used the prhase "Nature or Nature's God". My point is, those who would use science as a means to the political objective of a collectivist society keep being hampered by our believe we are endowed with Liberty. They must destroy that assumption before they can win. Science is not their real topic, IMHO.

[robodril1]

@MrROTD No, Sir. Pure science is a good expression of genuine curiosity. It is impossible to prove God doesn't exist. Anyone who tries doesn't understand the scientific theory at all. The politics of science are used to promote collectivism. That is esier to do elsewhere in the world because power has been top-down everywhere, but here,for all of history. We were founded on individual soveriegnty, as a natural, inate, individual Characturistic. MORE

[MrROTD]

@robodril1 youre right about Paul, he's a great man but it sounds like you think science is done to kill God and gain control of people. Science is done to learn about our surroundings and if it disproves God along the way doesn't that tell you something? People who study the order of nature aren't worshipping and science isn't a religion.

[MrROTD]

@DarthPickley the government is there to administrate the country not do science experiments or force religion on peopole, thats what he's saying, understanding science? he's a medical doctor that takes some knowlege of science.

[MrROTD]

His point is that the question of evolution is not important for a presidents job, he's a libertarian he believes in keeping that stuff out of politics. I'm an athiest but Paul makes sense about the issue. I believe in evolution but I think it isn't gradual, an organism mutates from dna damage and if the result is better than the original, the new mutated organism carries on to breed and pass on the new dna. It's just a theory and I admit I don't know the answer

water tends to move. water containing elements.. Under this situation, with metals and propulsion, magnetic fields being present or created and combined with the chemical bonding and releasing properties of minerals etc you get electrical currents and shit happened. Life is a furtherance of this effect. Having said that, I would vote for Ron Paul in a heartbeat. His stance is people have a right to their belief rather than forcing anything. science is not blocked by government either.

[DarthPickley]

yeah the biggest problem with Ron Paul: not understanding the importance of Science.

If you did away with science funding, I doubt that you would find many investors who would be willing to work for the interests of scientists.

In science people often play the "we will be overcome by china" etc. part, but really, I think we should be taking large amounts of military funding and replacing it with domestic science funding. Science is NOT full of corruption or greed. It is good.

Best evidence the government can't manage anything - they run the post office. LOL

Ron Paul 2012 - r3VOLution!

[robodril1]

@zxcv73 Thank You. People who want to control you must kill God. Our rights come from "Nature or Nature's God" according to Jefferson. Those who do not believe in God are quite welcome to say our rights come from Nature, but those who want to control our rights must first dispense with God to gain control of those rights. Evolution is a proxy for this fight. Without this aspect, evolution is just an interesting debate, not a political discussion. Dr. Paul is right, again.

Listening to Ron Paul talk about evolution is like listening to me talk about quantum physics. And I work in advertising.
