Evolution? Not Us ...
It's no real surprise the GOP presidential candidates Mike "I Love" Huckabee, Tom "Kill the Immigrants" Tancredo, and Sam "Religious Zealot for Hire" Brownback raised their hands at the Republican Presidential Candidate Debate when asked if they did not believe in evolution.
Huckabee was quoted afterwords as saying "If you want to believe that you and your family came from apes ... "
So there it is, the fundamental (pardon the pun) error Christian fundamentalists make when discussing evolution. Evolution has never claimed that humans descended from Apes. Evolution claims, with extensive scientific evidence on hand, that the great Apes and humans descended from a common ancestor.
The same article mentions that Republican Presidential Candidate Tommy Thompson, after the debate, indicated that he did not believe that employers who believe that homosexuality is a sin should be able to fire homosexual workers for that reason only, despite saying when asked whether he believed that business owners should have this right,
"I think that is left up to the individual business. I really sincerely believe that that is an issue that business people have got to make their own determination as to whether or not they should be."
When the moderator asked him if that was a "yes,", Thompson replied:
"Yes."
Nothing like politics aimed at the lowest possible common denominator.
Morons.
