Mike Huckabee Sees Ron Paul as a threat

akalucas said:
I have my masters in biology and I do genetic research at Loma Linda University. My belief in science doesnt correlate with belief in macro evolution. Macro evolution and creationism are both theories and both have not been proven. There's nothing close to concrete evidence for macro evolution. There might be interesting facts that might suggest macro evolution but the same can be said about creationism. Real scientist keep an open mind to things that have not been proven through the scientific method. Unfortunately politics plays a part in the scientific community, just like government politics. The people that have beliefs in evolution hold the top positions in the scientific community, decide who gets funded and frown upon any research that deals with creationism. Many researches here say they believe in evolution and do research that furthers that cause because that pretty much guarantees them funds for their projects. Kind of like republicans in washingtion might be on board with the war just to secure their seat. As of right now Huckabees beliefs in creationism should not disqualify him from being a man that believes in sciences. Now, if he believes the earth is square and that the sun revolves around the earth than thats a whole other matter.

What is the difference btwn macro evolution and evolution?
 
After serving as governor for more than ten years, Gov. Huckabee left the state with almost $1 billion in surplus

That's a bigger sin than raising spending. They're not even bothering to spend the money - just stashing it in the king's coffers?
 
Huckabee is a real threat. And it shows because he has "fooled" many of you.

I've watched all the debates and speeches by him. One thing is clear -- he is very vague and offers no concrete solutions. Even the ABC column today backs this up. He tells great stories no doubt. But he is hard to pin down on any direct answer.

Take his speech in Ames about the his visit to Germany regarding the Holocaust. His daughter asked him "why didn't someone do something." Huckabee said she "got it". You have to read between the lines with this guy. Very sneaky and very well spoken and very vague -- and it is serving him well.

On a personal level, I really do like Huckabee. I really like Duncan Hunter too. But their policies don't have as much in common with Ron Paul as some might believe.;)

Microevolution is the change of frequency of genes in a population. Macroevolution is speciation, or when the gene pools no longer mix. It's a strange argument that will always exist because of how fluid the definition of a species is.

There are obvious fluctuations in this chart. Then there is the unmistakable anomoly which is right now.

That's a funny graph. It's missing two important things.
1) Detail. Each data point prior to recent times, is roughly 5000 years.
2) Relationship to O2. CO2 and O2 are part of a cycle. This may simply be a representation of fluctuations in biomass.


Edit: I'm sure others can find more things wrong with it.

The original point of this thread, heh. Stephen Colbert. It will re-air tomorow somewhere around 7-8sh. Forget when he re-airs. Huckabee is on at the start of the show

Maybe you should stop sending in forms to government agencies that were dissolved over 4 years ago (INS).

I've been sending forms since before then, so yes, it was still called the INS back then. I am way to familiar that they are called USCIS now, unfortunately. :(
 
I didn't realize he was the Governor who started this program! I remember hearing about it on the radio and getting my hackles all up. (As usual...)

Mr. Huckabee’s national profile, not everyone here appreciates a governor whose policies include weighing schoolchildren and sending home report cards on their body mass index.

Macro-evolution is the General theory of evolution. This is different from micro-evolution which is the Special theory of evolution. Both postulated by Darwin.

No one disputes micro-evolution which is small changes/variations in an organism usually in response to changes in their environment -- this is observable and proven -- as Darwin himself did on the Galapagos islands.

The dispute is with macro-evolution for which Darwin basically theorized that micro-evolution can be multiplied millions & billions of times to account for evolution from one organism to a completely different organism.
This is not observable (because in theory it happens over millions & billions of years) and unproven because the fossil record that should be in overwhelming abundance recording these macro-changes from one organism to the other just doesn't exist. The scanty fossils that exist have all been adequately explained not to be an indication of macro-evolution. This is a major problem that even secular scientists in the field of evolution agonise about.

Myself, i'd say you need faith of biblical proportions to believe in macro-evolution :D
