She is pandering to the 70% of Americans who can relate on an intellectual level with her. The actual intelligent 30% of Americans are completely beside themselves, wondering if thier countrymen will ever get a fucking education!

billions and billions of people who would say she's a fool.

@zachanderson916 I read your article, and it sure seems like you have to put a whole bunch of faith in the theory of evolution in order to believe that. And requiring that much faith, I'd say its more reasonable to go with a creationist perspective that doesn't have loopholes.

@zachanderson916 you're insinuating we knew everything in the 1850s? The argument for irreducible complexity has been addressed and doesn't not hold. You can find an explanation for the evolution of the human eye, described for laymen, in pages such the wiki article on evolution of the eye(I tried to link you, but youtube isn't letting me, just check it out on wikipedia.)

I mean, Newton couldn't even conceive of general relativity, does that invalidate it?

[zachanderson916]

Charles Darwin himself said that it was absurd that the human eye was formed by natural selection due to its complexity.

@doyoulookup

This was investigated afterwards, and her claims were shown to be totally false. There was no truth to anything that she stated.

[GhettoPandask8]

She practically just made that all up on the spot.. How can you take someone seriously when their arguments are just arbitrary statistics pulled out of nowhere.... She is just a clown straight up.

[JD12ish]

WOW! So much bullshit and she doesn't even blink. This bitch is definitely crazy.

[doyoulookup]

Whoa. Where does she get her information? Perhaps she just makes it up.  "Hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes who believe in inteligent design" I wonder how she wiould handle being pushed to provide the names of just a few of these scientists and reliable proof that they do believe in ID. It is scary to think that this lady could become president.

@BiggDickWilly i know, some people take every story in the bible so seriously. i went to a catholic school for some 15 years my life, every one of my teachers believe in evolution. i am a republican but no way am i voting for her, she is just not my type of president.

[ProudToBeNerdy]

Sweet mother of God. How the hell is SHE running for president? Does anyone actually take her seriously?
