At no point is 'non organic matter' theorized to have 'accidentally' formed into a 'protein strand' capapble of self replication in the theory of evolution. The fact that you've gotten four things wrong in a single sentence shows that your understanding of the theory of evolution (not to mention biology in general)) is severely lacking. Please don't just take this as an insult, I advise you to read some kids guide to evolution or something and see if things make morse sense then.

What about freedom of speech? It's the same old story, accept something from the government and they "own you." Maybe churches should pay taxes and become free to say what they want. The government wouldn't have to decide what's non-profit and what isn't -- but then the government would be free to "tax churches and non-profit agencies out of existence."

Strange. We all exist in the universe hurling aimlessly through cold space anchored on a tiny blue ship where 75 percent of the people talk to an imaginary superhero. Samuel Beckett couldn’t add an ounce of absurdity to this stage. Google Doe’s Account.

I happen to love Mike Huckabee. He is the kind of faith based conservative that this country is in desperate need of. So nice to see a politician speak truth, thats rare.He truly loves God and it shows. Go Huckabee... 2012 2012 2012.

Mike Huckabee is a joke.

He does not even know basic economics.

He thinks that the federal reserve is doing a good thing by printing money. This causes inflation.

Cmon You got to promise me that you will stop using that straw man now that ive pointed out thats exactly what it is. Ill say it one more time no biologist who believes in evolution will actually claim "organic matter could accidentally form into a protein strand which could self replicate" its non sensical. And Yes a lot of people doubt evolution in your country but if you do a study of biologists(that actually know some thing about the evidence) very few doubt its streangth as a theory.

[antonyneal]

Cmon chuk i know u can do research. No one ever states non organinic compounds became proteins(which would be impossible unless nuclear fussion was involved some how O__o). And no one ever said proteins form into DNA. DNA is the blue print for polypeptides(which make proteins) in a cell. DNA is composed of nitrogonouse bases. Proteins are polymers of amino acids. There completly diffrent things. With diffrent chemical sructure and function. In closing i agree. But its just another straw man.

[antonyneal]

I remember you, stil doubting it aye. Still not doubting that a all powerful all knowing being that is infinatly more complicted then a complex protein just happens to exist with out any precursor. I dont think any one will ever convince you that your wrong because you cant wake a man thats pretending to be asleep. aaahhhh well your smart enough to do some research and realise thats a straw man. I hope every one see's the irony that your straw man is still more believable then your belief.

Tancredo and Brownback supposedly believe in intelligent design.

Huckabee also cited Francis Collins as his favorite book on the subject. News flash, Collins is a Christian Darwinist who headed the human genome project in its later years.

'My' Richard Dawkins has never said any such thing, and neither has anybody who has actually examined the theory and what it claims.
