Honest science defends Hunter and Huckabee:

I didn’t realize Hunter has said that too... that is really unfortunate - I like him a lot. But I can’t support somebody for a policy position with a YEC view. I had hoped he could at least be secretary of defense....
I think Huck knows the focus of this repeated line of questioning is being used to build a foundation upon which to paint him as a religios kook down the road. “We don’t need another theocracy, blah, blah blah.”
“I’m sure if God did all that, He could quite easily have created an evolutionary process that led to the human race as well.”
True. But the process couldn’t have included death, which is inconsistent with God’s nature and came into the world only as a consequence of human rebellion.
“The evidence is that billions of years passed here on earth.”
If you’re interested in getting another perspective, I’d recommend the following books:

http://www.amazon.com/Thousands-not-Billions-Donald-Deyoung/dp/0890514410
This line of questioning will increase Huckabee’s support.
Oh yea, God is pro open borders.
“I didn’t realize Hunter has said that too... that is really unfortunate - I like him a lot. But I can’t support somebody for a policy position with a YEC view.”
I didn’t mean to suggest that either Governor Huckabee or Congressman Hunter shared my “young earth” creationist view. Governor Huckabee apparently doesn’t think the age of the earth is especially important, and I don’t know whether Congressman Hunter does either.
Uh-oh, I bet the GOP establishment is gonna have a word with him on that one!
Does he have a Health Nut section on his website?
a faction on FR
Consdiering it is the triple D combo and 1 or 2 others posting all the Huck stuff, I think we know were the faction is.
Then there is this:
Thompson 71.3% 432
Romney 10.7% 65
Giuliani 8.4% 51
Huckabee 8.1% 49
McCain 1.5% 9
So you are a larger faction than McCains...
Thank you for the clarification.
When I was on the prolife platform and somebody asked "... but when does human life begin?" I'd answer:
"There's a great deal of honest controversy about that. Some would say that it was with the emergence of anthropoid apes perhaps one million, seven-hundred-thousand years ago; others hold that Neanderthals were not our direct ancestors, but rather that they split off from the human tree more than 300,000 years ago.
"However there is no controversy ovr the fact that human life is transmitted to a new generation every time a human sperm fertilizes a human ovum."
