    True, so is Gravity.

    And as a matter of fact, gravity is far less understood than evolution. What we know is that we have two theories of gravity, Einstein's at macro levels, and quantum theory at low levels, and these theories are mutually incompatible. One or both of them must be wrong.

    Right. Ben Smith cleared that up for us. We're not supposed to talk about it. The old man was senile.

    I always learned it as the LAW of Gravity. We can experiment with gravity. We can test it. While we may not understand it in total, it's far easier to validate it than Evolution using the scientific method.

    Now you would have a point if say he ducked and dodged a question about say " how do you feel about gay rights?" or "Do you believe women should be provided free birth control?" . A question about evolution is not that personal, and the thing is he could use this very well both ways to be honest.

    Be that as it may, you are bashing the guy for what EVERY politican on the left or right does, and that is pander to their voting base....like no (*)(*)(*)(*) they are going too, that's campaigning these days. Gone are the politicians who actually tried to relate to a number of people, to bring together on a common ground and what is honestly best for the country.

    Now we have nothing but dividers and those who will ignore the rest of the American voter base that does not agree with their political agenda. it is nothing but a game and we are the ones losing. It really does not matter to these guys if they lose an election, because they simply go back to living their kush lifestyle as no policy either side makes truly affects any politician because they live above the law anyways.

    Democrats will pander to their pet minorities and make false promises as always, their voters compromised of minorities who thought barak Obama was some kind of miracle who was going to give them money out of nowhere and squatters who defecated all over multiple cities and trashed them because they wanted more handouts. Republicans will pander to those of religion and supposed moral values and backers of the constitution. They too will make false promises as that is the status quo of any politican now days.

    But what I laugh at is the questioning of these so called elite masters of politics. They are either given weak and totally dumb questions, or they are given questions that are fully loaded flamebait. it has become a 3rd grade circus lol.

    all you did there was show that you don't understand science

    "A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory


    the theory of evolution has been repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation

    i haven't ever seen any valid evidence for creationism, all i've seen is a bunch of ridiculous bunk

    Oh course not! Having a hate-filled black bigot as a preacher for 20 years is okay when one is on the left.

    A right-winger having something similar would lead to crucifixion.

    No. He doesn't sound like a conservative religious fanatic---which would be someone like me. A conservative religious fanatic appreciates America and knows that if he or she works to achieve his or her goals in this country that success and security are fully achievable. A conservative "fanatic" appreciates this country and cares for its future.

    It sounds like Wright is a Marxist Communist that wants to tear down our economic and political system. He advocates taking from whites and giving to the poor blacks. He calls successful blacks uncle toms--and discourages assimilating in American Culture. It sounds like he rejoices when our nation is hurt and our people are killed.

    Perhaps you need to brush up on what a "Conservative Christian Fanatic" is. Reagon was a "Conservative Christian Fanatic". GWBush was a "Conservative Christian Fanatic" Imagine Wright as President---assuming you are white-----where would that put you.

    Yes, this is what they know. Walker may be venal, but he is not stupid.

    don't hand us your bull crap
    When Obama was asked when he beleves a human life begins he gave the answer "that is above my pay grade"
    did you lose respect for him giving that dodge of an answer? when we all know he doesn't believe a human life begins till after birth other wise he wouldn't be as such a strong supporter of late term abortion even going as far as indorsing killing survivors of botched abortions
    and Axelrod recently reveled Obama was a supporter of gay marriage long before his 2008 run but decided to claim he wasn't so not to scare away the Christian black vote
    so your full of crap once again

    Sorry maybe you don't know what racism means.......
    Being critical of our country does not mean you hate our country, just want it to live up to its ideals. Some of what he said was silly but how is it any more hateful than what Pat Robertson said after 9-11

    There are some surefire giveaways, every time:
    1) They don't know what a scientific theory is, and equate it with the vernacular usage as "uninformed hunch."
    2) They don't know the difference between a fact and an explanation of the fact.
    3) They don't understand that there is no such thing as "empirical proof" of anything.
    4) They see the tentative nature of scientific conclusions, and their mutability, as a weakness rather than science's key strength.
    5) They don't understand the fundamental nature of evidence, and that if a claim can't be tested, it can't be validated.
    6) They think believing something real real hard and repeating it over and over is how things come true.

    obama has fully demonstrated that he trusts science, the american ebola issue has clearly demonstrated that


    "First and foremost, I want the American people to know that our experts, here at the CDC and across our government, agree that the chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low."

    But of course, you understand that evolution is definitively true, while "when human life begins" simply has no correct answer.

    Yes. He was being asked for an opinion, and he wouldn't give one. Walker is being asked for knowledge, and he pretends he lacks it.

    But that still doesn't address the question. Human life doesn't "begin", since sperm and egg are both alive before fertilization. Human life just continues. He believes that human RIGHTS begin at birth, which is a policy position, not a matter of biology.

    You are right. Obama did just what Republicans are doing with evolution - pandering to the ignorance of the voters.

    here's what i thought of when you said conservative, religious fanatic

    The Republicans:

    #1 Conservative Christians
    #2 Religious fanatics
    #3 Want to seriously limit the freedoms of women
    #4 Oppose equality for man and woman
    #5 Want to redefine RAPE so it can be blamed on women
    #6 Are in favor of a theocracy
    #7 Gun nuts
    #8 Hate homosexuals

    The Taliban:

    #1 Conservative Muslims
    #2 Religious fanatics
    #3 Want to seriously limit the freedoms of women
    #4 Oppose equality for man and woman
    #5 RAPE is always blamed on the woman
    #6 Are in favor of a theocracy
    #7 Gun nuts
    #8 Hate homosexuals

    You'd probably wouldn't last a second living with the Taliban. Atheists are so lost....that's why they leave no country, no society worthy enough for us to look back on. They just peter themselves out with self-destructive stupidity and disappear. Yeah....I can see it now....you looking straight in the eyes of the Taliban and say something Atheist like..."god is just an imaginary sugar daddy". You'd be hung from the nearest tree.

    Ah, but....no difference between them and me.
