I've kept my eye open for an ape turning into a person my whole life but haven't discovered one yet. If any of you see this, would you please advise us here.

More background on Tony Campolo, the Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Eastern University and former pastoral counsellor to former President Bill Clinton:

Tony Campolo was the big-nosed, laughing doofus videotaped yukking it up with Bill "Intern Molester" Clinton at the funeral of Ron Brown. The two were heartily laughing about something Tony had said, unaware that they were being filmed. Suddenly Clinton spotted the video cameras and immediately transformed his laughing face into a face of grief, and put his hand over his face as if he were crying.

Many creatures in the RAT party were once human beings . . .

Why am I not surprised Bill Clinton's spiritual adviser supports Disinformation Institute propaganda?

[WorkingClassFilth]

. . . and many people in the Republican party are rumored to have once had spines.

Maybe the theory of evolution has it backwards?

there is an infinite qualitative difference between the most highly developed ape and each and every human being

In the case of those human beings who served as Clinton minions, the difference is in favor of the ape.

I've been waiting for all the nuclear power plants to go dark because all the fuel rods turned into lead, but that never happens, either.

Many supporters of the principle of separation of church and state say that the Intelligent Design Theory of creation ought not to be taught in public schools because that it contains a religious bias.

Nope; the IDiots admitted to their religious bias their own selves.

[StatenIsland]

Hmm. I don’t recall being taught “Darwinism.”

I remember being taught about evolution and natural selection, and that these theories were first advanced by Darwin, but never any of the horrible (and horribly naive) conclusions that Darwin himself drew from his work.

Nor did a belief in the reasonableness of natural selection lead me to any sort of racist philosophy, so I was either to stupid to make the connection, or there was no connection at all, and Darwin’s racism was a personally motivated contortion of his own theories.

All that being said (and I’m about to commit freeper suicide here, but what the heck, personal intellectual honesty has its cost), if the Republican/Conservative Party insists on supporting ID in science classes, we are slipping a very heavy albatross around our necks, election-wise. It will be used against Jindal when the time comes for him to seek national office.

And, unfortunately, there are more voters turned off by ID being taught as a scientific alternative than turned on.

Remember, God and evolution are not mutually exclusive. ID, however, is faith-based (despite “irreducible coomplexity”) and belongs in Bible Study class, not science class, imho.

Whoredom easily becomes an ongoing habit.

Intelligent Design does have a religious bias, which should be freely admitted. It’s patently absurd, or outright disingenous, to deny it.

But an attack on evolution, based on the assertion that Darwin was a racist, is about as stupid of an attack on science as it could get.

If you want to attack science, do it. Attacking the scientist is not attacking science. It’s something else entirely.

I taped those cry baby’s when he saw the Camera from the Rush Limbaugh Show a some years ago and it’s a Hoot.

Darwinism doesn’t exist except in the minds of the insecure and deranged

[xzins]

It’s good to see Campolo again getting a few things right.

The ethical implications of Darwinism involve a non-existent God. For some more lenient than I, they see it meaning an on-and-off-again, absentee God.

Either way, it leads to a social ethic that either excises God, ignores Him, or turns Him into an indulgent Dutch Uncle.

Good for Campolo....finally.

The only evolution that is actually observable today is that Democrats are evolving into mind dead zombies.
