  1. The best answer to how we got here is... "We can only speculate" Science has yet to fully put together all the pieces to know for certain about evolution or for christians, creationism. There is a lot of science that explains so much in todays world but there is a much, much higher percentage of things that science cannot explain or answer and when that happens they almost always try to speculate. I saw Neil deGrasse Tyson do a lot of that on his Cosmos: A space time odyssey mini series episodes. IMO, speculation should not even be considered in science because all that is is guessing and guessing cannot or should not be a part of science.

  2. Non believers come from both sides of the isle Emery. I'm a non-believer and also a party unaffiliated voter.

  3. Emery Kennedy Well I suppose that could be true. They have their own religion and how it's defined as they see it. In fact, being a Republican appears to be a religion in itself. I swear they are a kooky crowd.

  6. MrOttopants Hey, I agree with you on almost all points, regarding the topic of conversation of evolution and creationism you have to admit that Thom was doing the same thing as the other guy and when two people start talking over each other, the conversation then becomes muddled. Personally, science does not explain everything, regarding this topic. The best it gives us is nothing more than speculation and science seems to do a lot of that. For example, when Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about multi universes like bubbles in a flowing river. That's just speculation. I don't like science dabbling in that area. It should be fact and proof driven. Anyways, I do think this guy he interviewed was an idiot. All I did here was call Thom out on talking over his guest like his guest did to him. Both were intolerable to listen to, IMO.

  7. I wasn't questioning Thom's honesty at all. I just said that he was talking over Eric even though Eric appeared to have started it all. I will say this, Bill Maher said it best about religious people and Eric Hovind is the poster child for this saying... "Religion is the purposeful suspension of critical thinking" - Bill Maher...
