Most Americans don't believe biological evolution occurred?

Bill Maher recently spoke on the apparent fact that most Americans don't believe evolution occurred. Apparently, there is still intelligent life out there, but I still doubt it because McCain and Obama were considered the two best candidates for President. Maher also makes a few other errors in his short screed on "Larry King Alive."

I like how you dismiss an appeal to authority then say "some scientists doubt evolution"!

Also I can't help but wonder how many of those scientists are biologists

MAND: Of course, if you read the comment threads, as well as Mr. Maher's autistic repitions of "most scientists believe X" you'd see why I dismiss that and then point out that there isn't a real consensus. Good try though.

Now MOMO is going back and deleting comments, that's quite funny. BTW, to answer her question concerning microevolution in the Bible, Genesis says each kind will produce after his own kind (16 times). The Hebrew word is "miyn" which means "to portion out, a sort, i.e. species."

MOMO was asked (after asserting orbjective morality does not exist) why she would oppose or support (and whether on pragmatic grounds or not) a bill euthanizing all people over 65 who are not financially well-off. She said "don't be stupid." She doesn't even want to support it on pragmatic grounds. So, if objective morality is illusory, what's wrong with a majority saying Jews aren't really people or euthanizing "the useless eaters." Naturalism has no foundation for morality, which does exist.

MOME: My apologies, you've been deleting so many comments (users can click VIEW ALL COMMENTS and see this) that I got confused. If you post again, you will answer my question in a "yes" or"no" fashion and then an explanation. You've stalled with silly answers that should embarrass an empiricist long enough. This is NOT negotiable. Good luck.

"Here's the comment MOMO removed"

Actually, I did not remove that comment. It's here for anybody to see.

Here's the comment MOMO removed: "You're simply luring me in the age-old trick of letting me answer a question I have clearly answered already, only for you to ignore everything I say and start asking your question again, claiming I never gave an answer in the first place. I'm happy to address questions about specifics in my answer, but don't play childish tricks like these. It's really grating and nonproductive." Just because you remove it, doesn't mean I can't see it.

You're simply luring me in the age-old trick of letting me answer a question I have clearly answered already, only for you to ignore everything I say and start asking your question again, claiming I never gave an answer in the first place.

I'm happy to address questions about specifics in my answer, but don't play childish games like these. It's really annoying and nonproductive.
