Just A Theory
0
I was watching Lewis Black’s Red White and Screwed the other day. I know, I’m way behind on this, but here’s the thing, I don’t really like television. I’ll be damned if I’m going to spend any extra money every month so that I can have HBO.
Anyway, he was discussing how George W. Bush doesn’t believe in evolution. His line was something to the effect that he didn’t think that during his lifetime a president would be elected that did not believe in evolution. He then went on to compare the Old Testament to the New Testament and how Bush believes in the Old Testament story of how the world was created in seven days.
Here’s thing, I’m not sure a person can run for president and be taken seriously if that person does believe in evolution. Especially if the person does not believe in creationism.
Reagan declared that evolution is a theory. Bush is the son of his dad and people get their opinions from somewhere. Look at the hopefuls right now. I can’t believe that Huckabee and Romney would believe in evolution. Ron Paul?
We are always in a situation where we elect people to take our important offices who deny truth. In fact, we encourage it. We force each candidate to prove their loyalty to their faith. Seems disastrous.
Some more Lewis Black.
I think evolution is important because it’s a small corner of a large tapestry that I like to call—REALITY. And the thing is—I’m right. I don’t have to argue this point any more. Fossils. Fossils. Fossils. I win.
Here’s one from where he was discussing how people believe the world was created in the last several thousand years and that humans lived with dinosaurs.
They are crazy, they are stone cold fucking nuts, I can’t be kind about this because these people are watching the Flintstones as if it were a documentary.
One last one, and it may be true.
In my lifetime, we’ve gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We’ve gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in 12 years, we’ll be voting for plants.
