That's a great line!
There is a great deal of diversity of thought on the right about Creation and Evolutionary theory.
Frankly I think we should start nailing the left on their lack of diverse thought on just about every subject. I call it ideological stagnation.
“Why Yes, I do believe that evolution is a theory.
Isn’t that why it’s called “The Theory of Evolution?”
next question?
I think democrats evolved from pond scum!
The left’s fetish for Darwinian evolution seems to me to be cover for the radically anti-empirical approach to public policy the left exhibits: loudly call your opponents “anti-science” when your own program would be gutted by applying the scientific method to questions actually at issue in political debate.
In point of fact, a great many policy positions the left takes run contrary to what a real believer in Darwinian evolution would believe: They would have us believe that human populations which subsisted in radically different environments for tens of thousands of years will exhibit no measurable differences in anything other than skin, hair and eye color, and thus any disparities in career choices or social outcomes must be the result of invidious discrimination. Likewise, they have no regard for the Darwinian basis of the institution of marriage: that human young are optimally reared by those most genetically similar to them (a consequence of the most radically materialistic explication of Darwinism, the “selfish-gene theory”) with their absurd push for “gay marriage” which misunderstands marriage as nothing more than a “celebration” of at best romantic love at worst lust called “love”.
Darwinism serves the left not as a scientific theory actually informing how they understand the world, but as a shibboleth for anti-Christianity.
I loved walker’s answer.
Rhett Butler had my attitude about right = ‘Frankly I don’t give a damn’
Should have said:
“I agree with what Darwin wrote at the end of his life, expressing doubts about his entire theory of evolution.”
Nobody ever asks a lefty politician if he believes in some of the metaphysical nonsense many of them believe. I mean, has anyone ever asked Al Gore if he really believes there are such things as Chakras - or does he use it as a line to get laid?
actually there are lots of creos that being single issuers will not vote for a known evo...... it’s a principle thing
.
Anyone stupid enough to actually believe that evolution happens is too stupid to be trusted with guiding this country.
Evolution isn’t ‘science,’ its leftist propaganda to dumb down our children and give the middle finger at Yehova for not being ‘inclusive,’ and ‘tolerant.’

As Twitchy reported, lefties are weirdly giddy over Gov. Scott Walker’s refusal to state flat-out whether or not he subscribes to the theory of evolution. Members of the media are beside themselves with delight at what they see as a golden opportunity to paint Walker — and the entire GOP — as anti-science.But when push comes to shove, are these “real journalists” actually in any position to claim intellectual superiority? The Federalist’s Sean Davis sure as hell doesn't think so, so he decided to give them a much-needed taste of their own medicine:
Just once, I'd like a politician to answer the reporter's evolution question with "Why don't you tell me what *you* think that means first."
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 11, 2015Because I can guarantee the reporters playing that game couldn't come close to accurately describing the current "scientific consensus."
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 11, 2015"Are you asking if I believe in punctuated equilibrium or phyletic gradualism? What do you mean 'I don't know those words?'"
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 11, 2015Textbook example of what I'm talking about right here. https://t.co/rYPMX5gnXE

Will there be Darwin questions at the Presidential Debates ? LOL
Scott Walker handled it the right way. What he believes about EVOLUTION has nothing to do with what a President does. This and all “gotcha” questions should be ignored.
Do you believe in Evolution?
“Thanks for the question. I can’t judge if you are truly sincere in asking it OR if you are just throwing out a “gotcha” question. Anyway, I have to be honest and say that Evolution is not something I really spend a lot of time considering. Let the experts with opposing views on the topic continue to debate it. My interests are more about the here and now. What can we do to improve the lives of Wisconsin residents and US citizens NOW. What can we focus on TODAY to see every American has the best opportunity for the best life possible.”
But, but, but you haven’t answered the question.
“I did. Next question.”
actually the left DOES care what he believes, and they do give a rat’s #$#$ what he believes because IF He says evolution is impossible, then they get to campaign against him as being ‘anti-science’ because the left believes evolution is possible DESPITE the many ways in which it is impossible- Scott’s answer should have been “I believe what the scientific community at the 1966 Wistar Symposium concluded- and there has been no scientifically credible arguments/evidence since then to change my mind- Next question?
Exactly. When your house is on fire, do you stop to question the firemen, and turn away anyone who has a different religious interpretation of human origins??
I know a number of people who believe this. Although we disagree completely on the age of the universe, we get along fine in every other way and I don't think they are creepy or weird in the slightest.
However, if they told me they would not vote for an otherwise conservative candidate who disagreed with them on this point of theology --- yeah, that would creep me out. It would be a conservative analogue of "low information voter"
