Listen here as Bill O'Reilly barely lets Richard Dawkins speak. O'Reilly spews endless bullshit about why Christianity and religion are the only reason morals exist and lists absurd points he claims are facts. My favorite part is when he claims most horrific genocides were committed by Atheists and lists Hitler, Mao, and Stalin as examples. (Some examples of his "facts".) Dawkins "mustache" response was brilliant.
Student: Many schools in Arkansas are failing to teach students about evolution according to the educational standards of our state. Since it is against these standards to teach creationism, how would you go about helping our state educate students more sufficiently for this?
Huckabee: Are you saying some students are not getting exposure to the various theories of creation?
Student (stunned): No, of evol … well, of evolution specifically. It’s a biological study that should be educated [taught], but is generally not.
Moderator: Schools are dodging Darwinism? Is that what you … ?
Student: Yes.
Huckabee: I’m not familiar that they’re dodging it. Maybe they are. But I think schools also ought to be fair to all views. Because, frankly, Darwinism is not an established scientific fact. It is a theory of evolution, that’s why it’s called the theory of evolution. And I think that what I’d be concerned with is that it should be taught as one of the views that’s held by people. But it’s not the only view that’s held. And any time you teach one thing as that it’s the only thing, then I think that has a real problem to it.

"Mike, there is no such thing as "an established scientific fact." A theory is as good as you can get in science. Anyone who wants to be the leader of the free world, better know that or he's too ignorant of science for the job. And if you do know it, you've just proved yourself a liar."

Every now and then I let the "geek" take over my brain and become the biggest nerd known to man. You ever watch that original Enterprise show on the Sci Fi channel? The one that supposedly took place right after the space station was built and way before all the totally far fetched Star Trek shit came about? WOW they make it so believable... the introduction even has a flight technology montage starting with the Wright brothers up to present day which supposedly gives way to *BLAMO* the Enterprise, all the technology you see in Star Trek, and, most importantly, a Vulcan played by some chick with a great tan and the hottest tits this side of the galaxy.
Have I freaked you out with my nerd attack yet? Well I just spent a few hours contemplating far fetched "future" technologies like Warp Drive... traveling faster than the speed of like, worm holes, time travel. Look I'm really sorry, but I'm stuck in New Jersey right now completely out of touch and I can't even go mountain biking because I fucked up my back yesterday, humor me and at least pretend like you give a shit.
Plus, none of this stuff is even that totally ridiculous, right? I mean... the articles I'm reading ARE on the NASA.gov website:
Warp Drive, When?
IANAEB (I am not an evolutionary biologist) but as I understand it, the Theory of Evolution cannot ever be proven in totality. However, independently individual tenets of evolution are provable in so far as they are observable.
Consider:
But you know, all of that taken together in no way supports or validates the general Theory of Evolution. In no way. God says."

I really don't want any of these borderline demented Republicans leading this nation... I could handle Ron Paul but the rest are scary.
