America’s Protestant pastors overwhelmingly reject the theory of evolution and are evenly split on whether the earth is 6,000 years old, according to a survey released Monday by the Southern Baptist Convention. When asked if “God used evolution to create people,” 73% of pastors disagreed - 64% said they strongly disagreed - compared to 12% who said they agree.

This is HORRIFYING.

And I always tell my friends who don’t believe in this stuff, “Fine, how do you think we came to — we’re randomly gathered protoplasm? We could have been rhinoceroses but we got lucky this week?’”

“Now, that is if you assume it is lucky to be human rather than rhinoceros. I don’t want — knowing the way the news media works, I do not want ‘Gingrich announces anti-rhinoceros hostility’ to come out of this meeting.

It’s almost as if a group of people who accept with no empirical evidence whatsoever that there’s a god require an inordinate amount of evidence to support evolution.

But the world is pretty! Isn’t that evidence enough?!

I hate people who say, “Science doesn’t know everything!” Science realizes it doesn’t know everything. Otherwise it would stop. It doesn’t mean you can fill in the blanks with any fairytale bullshit you want.

They want to wipe out all the findings of hundreds of years of scientific investigation and have taken to schools, the courts and political leaders to get things done.

A few weeks ago, Jon Huntsman torpedoed his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination by …

“How can you deny the science of evolution? With my ‘science’ answer, you just saw me evolve into someone with no chance of winning the Republican nomination.”

— JON STEWART, on GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman’s “We can’t run from science” declaration, on The Daily Show

I think there’s a serious problem. The minute that the Republican Party becomes the party – the anti-science party, we have a huge problem. We lose a whole lot of people who would otherwise allow us to win the election in 2012. When we take a position that isn’t willing to embrace evolution, when we take a position that basically runs counter to what 98 of 100 climate scientists have said, what the National Academy of Science – Sciences has said about what is causing climate change and man’s contribution to it, I think we find ourselves on the wrong side of science, and, therefore, in a losing position.

The Republican Party has to remember that we’re drawing from traditions that go back as far as Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, President Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and Bush. And we’ve got a lot of traditions to draw upon. But I can’t remember a time in our history where we actually were willing to shun science and become a – a party that – that was antithetical to science. I’m not sure that’s good for our future and it’s not a winning formula.

Distinguishing yourself from the pack: you’re doing it right.
