If a Republican dares mention the slightest doubt about the theory of evolution the main stream media will immediately label him or her as too stupid to hold public office.\u00a0 Democrats are never even asked the question.\u00a0 Democrats are automatically assumed to be brighter than Republicans.\u00a0 That is why they are Democrats.\u00a0 This is similar to the way that Republicans are treated with regard to racism.\u00a0 All Republicans are assumed to be racist, and all Democrats are assumed to be civil rights heroes.\u00a0 The fact that the Democratic Party was the party of racism for most of its history is never discussed.<\/p>\n

Following is the latest and greatest attempt by the evolution crowd to explain the origin of life:<\/p>\n

\u00a0http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/02\/21\/evolution-may-have-created-life_n_1290810.html?ref=science&icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-sb-bb%7Cdl9%7Csec3_lnk2%26pLid%3D137266<\/a><\/p>\n

If you read this article, two things become very clear.\u00a0 First, scientists have no clue as to how life began.\u00a0 The only thing they know for sure is that current theories don\u2019t hold up under scrutiny.\u00a0 Second, they keep searching and searching for some plausible explanation.\u00a0 If they already know the answer, why the desperate search for more information?\u00a0 They are willing to cling desperately to the most wildly implausible explanations.\u00a0 This is because they start with the assumption that this had to have happened as the result of a lucky accident.\u00a0 Otherwise, they would be forced to consider creative design and they just can\u2019t abide that.<\/p>\n

This latest theory is laughably improbable.\u00a0 Not only do you need a miraculous accidental combination of amino acids at the start, you need a series of miraculous events because: \u201cit wouldn\u2019t be possible to do it all at once.\u201d\u00a0 Really?<\/p>\n

So, who\u2019s the dummy?\u00a0 The person who believes in the events less likely than finding a winning Mega Millions Lottery ticket miraculously appearing on your laser printer as the result of a once in a life time power failure?\u00a0 Or the person who says:\u00a0 \u201cthis is just far too complicated to dismiss as some kind of unexplainable accident?\u201d<\/p>\n

Our kids have been taught the theory of evolution as solid science since the Scopes trial.\u00a0 Heaps of scorn are dumped on the heads of any teachers daring to challenge the theory of evolution.\u00a0\u00a0 Yet, polls consistently show that only about 40% of Americans buy the theory of evolution.\u00a0 There are differences in results from Gallop Polls and from Pew Polls, but both show the percentage of Americans who favor creationism at about 43%.\u00a0 If evolution is so darn obvious, why don\u2019t more people believe it?<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/blogs\/god-and-country\/2009\/02\/11\/gallup-darwins-birthday-poll-fewer-than-four-in-ten-believe-in-evolution<\/a><\/p>\n

I wish just one candidate would have the courage to say the obvious. \u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t believe in the theory of evolution because I just don\u2019t have enough faith to buy the improbable chain of events necessary to make the theory work.\u201d\u00a0 We need to understand the difference between real science, which is unafraid to look at things as they actually are, and politically correct science, which lurches from one improbable theory after another in a desperate attempt to ignore the obvious reality of a God who created the universe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Frankly, I don\u2019t care if someone wants to swallow the theory of evolution hook, line and sinker.\u00a0 After all, we all should have the freedom to believe what we want.\u00a0 But I am sick and tired of those who consider themselves intellectually superior to anyone who disagrees with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
