| The Republican party gets a lot of flak every time its members make a comment that flies in the face of sound science, especially where the Bible is concerned. Marco Rubio caught some criticism this week after hedging on the big creation question in a GQ interview, where Rubio appeared to be walking a thin line between reassuring rational Republicans and pandering to the party’s religious base. But yesterday, Slate writer Daniel Engber highlighted a similar answer Barack Obama gave when he was running for president in 2008. Obama made the following comments about the Biblical story of

What the GOPers need to ask when these types of questions are posited is: did you ask obamao the same question?
Oh, you haven´t?
Then go ask him first and then get back to me and MAYBE, just maybe I´ll give you an answer.
Until then, let´s just stick to the economy, jobs, the U-3 unemployment, and the U-6 unemployment rates, shall we?!!!!!!

Q. What about creationism vs. evolution vs intelligent design?
A. How nice that you have an interest in science as well as the Bible.

The answer is: "If G-d is infinite, what´s to stop G-d from squeezing 4.5 billion years of time into 1/4.5 billionths of a billionth of a billionth of a second" Second answer is: You tell me where the material which became the universe came from.

The most interesting question is "How did Bronze Age sheep herders nail the order of life?"
From sea to plants to small to mammals to man. Kinda like the order of evolution.

The Bible is full of parables and metaphors so a person could understand what God was trying to demonstrate.It was written during a time when life was pretty simplistic. There´s no way somebody just woke up one day and had the creativity and insight to demonstrate to people how to live their lives.
Maybe Adam and Eve and the Serpent was just an example that people back then could get their brains around.The Serpent is a metaphor for Satan and his relentless temptations to get people off the road to eternal life.If somebody embezzles money from their business and gets away with it,chances are they aren´t going to quit while they´re ahead. The reason is Satan will keep pecking away at them until they cave and do it again.
Obama isn´t going to defend the principals of God because he doesn´t really believe in them.If he did he wouldn´t be the Satanic curse him and his supporters are on this country.When you don´t believe in God,you have no fear of retribution.

Josh old buddy if evolution is sound science, why is it called "The theory of Evolution"? By the way, Darwin said it is unprovable.

When will media starting asking Dems questions about uncomfortable, yet undeniably true scientific facts.
1. Blacks on average have IQs about 1 SD lower than whites.
2. Life begins at conception.
Those are two truths that have far more relevance to governing today than do the age of the universe.

Darwin did say that he could not explain the evolution of the eye. Also, interestingly, Darwin called it the Origin of a Species and not The Origin of Life. Finally, unless the male and the female of the species made the interspecies jump at exactly the same time, somebody´s relatives were getting it on with monkeys for a few hundred thousand years.

Republican leaders unanimously approved a resolution Friday urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Proposition 8, the measure under court review that forbids same-sex marriage in California. The Republican National Committee “affirms its support for marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and as the optimum environment in which to raise healthy children for the future of America and … implores the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the sanctity of marriage in its rulings on California’s Proposition 8 and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act,” according to a resolution approved at the group´s meeting in Hollywood.

They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do. But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama reported income of $608,611 in 2012 and paid $112,214 in total taxes, the White House announced Friday. Tax documents released by the White House show the first family donated $150,034 to 33 different charities, representing nearly a quarter of their gross income. In addition to his federal salary, Obama made $258,772 from book royalties. The president´s effective federal income tax rate was 18.4 percent. That represents a decline in both income and effective tax rate for the first family from 2011, when the president saw an income of $789,674 and paid

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.

WYMT-TV reports the move came after the schools received a complaint from the Freedom From Religion Foundation. The group´s letter says the displays have been up for years. Kentucky Board of Education officials released a statement saying that the display of religious materials in public schools violates the U.S. Constitution.

WASHINGTON- Retail sales contracted in March for the second time in three months, a sign the American economy may have stumbled at the end of the first quarter. Retail sales fell 0.4 percent during the month, the Commerce Department said on Friday. That was below analysts´ expectations that sales would be flat. Readings for retail sales have been volatile so far this year, making it difficult to know whether the weakness in March was due to a tax hike that went into effect at the start of the year or to temporary factors related to the weather.

This is particularly galling in light of the fact that 16 Republicans crossed the aisle to vote for cloture on the Democrats´ gun control bill, today. Heritage Action reports: A Senate resolution to honor Lady Thatcher was supposed to pass last night. However, per well placed sources on the Hill, Democrats have a hold on the resolution. To refuse to honor a woman of such great historical and political significance,

But Hvistendahl soon learned the downside to uncovering what many believe to be a shocking trend in human rights offenses: people will want to do something about it.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

Whatever big-busted fantasies crawl around the ex-congressman’s delirious noggin, la Weiner made his next goal as clear as the skin of the wholesome college students he craved: He relishes being Mayor Weiner. Please, shut up this clown. These days, the genitally obsessed Weiner has nothing much to do, except sit in his lavish Manhattan apartment and — the inhumanity! — change the poopy diapers of his 16-month-old son, Jordan. Worse, Weiner is living under a kind of house arrest, sentenced to take extreme grief

Sean Smith was Mrs. Smith’s only child. To listen to her recent radio interview with another Sean… Sean Hannity… is to have the heart break.
