What is your opinion on Russia vs Georgia? If anyone bothers to check the Democrats are now calling for "some drilling off the coasts"! I am personally opposed to any drilling off the coasts, these oil companies have millions of acres they could have already been drilling in. I was hoping Ludell would ask the question of the day.

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, they're the evolution deniers' fantasy. Livin' with the dinosaurs, why they all looked just like you and me...

Morons like yourself who make broad dismissals of our work without actually reading or understanding it are a large part of why it's so hard for us to make real progress. By the way, don't get me started about how "the scientific method" as you're probably thinking of it from your high school textbook doesn't really exist. I've got both a "hard science" degree and a "mere social science" degree so I've seen both sides of the coin. While I'm at it - intelligent design is bullshit and if you buy into it then I'm sorry. That pretty much sums up all that needs to be said there. /rant I’d like to send out a big “go fuck yourself” On behalf of myself and the other “mere social scientists” who despite all we do to ensure the validity of our studies still have numbskulls like Art Downs claiming that we think “opinions are more meaningful than the scientific method.” Morons like yourself who make broad dismissals of our work without actually reading or understanding it are a large part of why it’s so hard for us to make real progress.

And perhaps a great question to the candidates would be would you oppose using public funds to teach Intelligent Design as science? There is no other known mechanism for this system to be so fine tuned in less than 10 billion years.

Is there a law proposed to change the age? We don't even know exactly what that age is. One thing for sure, it is not even close to infinite and therefore demands an intelligent designer. There is no other known mechanism for this system to be so fine tuned in less than 10 billion years. Of course Congress can't pass a law to change that either. Why DBB?
