There is no more courageous act for an American politician than to say one don\u2019t believe in evolution.\u00a0 The liberal left heaps piles of scorn on anyone who dares question global warming.\u00a0 But they absolutely gag at the thought of someone disagreeing with evolution. \u00a0If you dare express doubt about the theory of evolution, you are doomed to be considered too ignorant and na\u00efve to hold federal office. \u00a0Sadly, this has resulted in far too many politicians who have failed to address this issue honestly.<\/p>\n

The truth is that there is no \u201cone\u201d theory of evolution.\u00a0 The term evolution means very different things to different people, including scientists.\u00a0 For example; most scientists believe that dinosaurs existed and that plants and animals evolved to some degree over time.\u00a0 But there is wide disagreement with regard to the origin of life.\u00a0 Some people believe that all of life developed spontaneously from the accidental combining of amino acids.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have near enough faith to buy that!\u00a0 Others believe that man evolved from the apes.\u00a0 But I find the evidence for that to be underwhelming.\u00a0 The so-called missing link is still missing.\u00a0 \u00a0Scientists are always searching for the missing link:<\/p>\n

In May 2010, scientists, led by ancient-DNA expert Svante P\u00e4\u00e4bo of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, reconstructed about 60% of the Neanderthal genome, using DNA of Neanderthal bones from Croatia. They found that a 1 to 4 percent overlap between the genomes of sample subjects from New Guinea, China, and France and that of the Neanderthal. They did not find the same correlations with DNA samples from southern and western Africa, suggesting again that the interbreeding occurred shortly after humans migrated from Africa. They also did not find any trace of human DNA in the Neanderthal genome, and the appearance of the Neanderthal DNA seemed to occur randomly indicating it does not confer evolutionary advantages.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The most significant line of this paragraph is the last.\u00a0\u00a0It does a better job of explaining the development of liberal thought processes than the theory of evolution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the theory of evolution, plants and animals involve into superior more developed models.\u00a0 But if you research the science of mutation, it shows the exact opposite:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.nature.com\/scitable\/topicpage\/genetic-mutation-1127<\/a><\/p>\n

A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, evolutionary change is based on the accumulation of many mutations with small effects. Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious. In general, the more base pairs that are affected by a mutation, the larger the effect of the mutation, and the larger the mutation’s probability of being deleterious.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let me summarize.\u00a0 The theory of evolution depends on mutations.\u00a0 Most mutations are bad.\u00a0 Evolution requires several small mutations to have an effect.\u00a0 The more mutations involved, the more likely they are to be bad.\u00a0 Finally, the bigger the change, the more likely it is to be bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The science of mutations does a good job of explaining why some species become extinct, but it makes the likely hood of man miraculously evolving from the apes a mathematic miracle of gigantic proportions.<\/p>\n

So why is the theory of evolution so widely supported among the scientific community?\u00a0\u00a0 Why is it so fiercely defended?\u00a0 The answer is that these scientists start with an assumption that there cannot be a creator.\u00a0 If there is no creator, then there has to be some other logical explanation for what we observe.\u00a0 Since they have no theory, other than evolution,\u00a0 they cling desperately to this wildly improbable explanation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0They primarily convince themselves and other people who start with the assumption that there is no God.\u00a0 After decades of requiring every student in the United States to learn the theory of evolution and forbidding even the mention of \u201ccreationism\u201d the most recent Gallop poll shows that only 40% of Americans buy the theory of evolution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rick Perry is that rarest of creatures.\u00a0 Someone who will stand firm against the winds of opposition on subjects like man-caused global warming and the theory of evolution.\u00a0 That looks a lot like a leader to me.<\/p>\n
