Jon Huntsman has found himself a niche as Rick Perry's science critic in chief. A few hours after video hit the airwaves of Perry telling a young boy in New Hampshire that evolution was a "theory that's out there," his GOP presidential rival pounced.
"To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy," Huntsman wrote on Twitter.
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

He is crazy.
Evolution is a myth to many people who think that God made everything as it is, and it will never change.
I've never met one of these people. Care to point me to the "anti-evolution atheist" website for the group that you speak of?Don't overlook the people who don't believe in god and also believe that evolution is a myth. There are two sides to that coin.

That's perfectly fine to believe that but when you believe crazy **** like "evolution is a myth" the rational people of the world are allowed to point out the stupidity of what you're saying. It's just like if you wanted to claim the earth was flat. Of course you can do it, but don't expect me to try and hold back my laughter at such silly comments.Evolution is a myth to many people who think that God made everything as it is, and it will never change.
Global Warming is a Myth or HOAX, call it what you will is based hysteria and poor science.
Liberals don't believe in evolution?Find a liberal who is an atheist. Look at them. There's your answer.

I have already contributed to his campaign once, and this makes me want to send the guy another check. However, since reason and sanity are not virtues Republican Primary Voters want in a candidate this year, I don't think this will help him out any.
No liberals don't believe in evolution?
Evolution is one of the two foundation laws of biology. Every life science, meaning everything from zoology, medicine, genetics, botany, and so on, is based on evolution. Much of the food you buy, cancer drugs, antibiotics..... much of what we take for granted in our every day lives, and the vast majority of medical advances of the last century that have improved life for all of humanity.... all have a foundational basis in evolution. Denying evolution is like denying the laws of physics, it is a refusal to accept reality.
So far we have one candidate in the entire GOP field that has taken the rational position of accepting the physical world for what it is.
Ask the liberal if he believes that evolution has been working on human intelligence and varies by race. Then, all of a sudden, evolution is evil and an appeal to mysticism is launched in that it is stated that evolution isn't operable in humans from the neck up. That's the equivalent of being a little bit pregnant.
The liberals and the religious are both creationists, the simply differ in which mystical source they appeal to.
Oh sure, they put on an act like they believe in evolution. They know jack squat about evolution. The just like to pretend that they're pro-science and more enlightened than those crude and simple religious folk. Claiming to believe in evolution is a cultural signaler, kind of like driving a Prius - liberals believe is tells others something important about them. It enhances their reputation. It's just a tool used in the game of reputational conspicuous consumption. Cheap to buy in because all you have to do is mouth the platitudes and you never have to apply your belief in real life, politics, or public policy - it's simply pulled out of the reputation grab-bag when it's time to do battle against the religious mouth-breathers and then it's used to elevate the liberal as the enlightened one and browbeat the religious as though they were superstitious cavemen sitting in a cave afraid of the real world.

Maybe that is because in most cases, it is either an inbred klansman or some skinhead neo-nazi that is making that claim.
That is one of the dumbest things I have ever read.
WHY is that one of the dumbest things that you've ever read?

Awesome -- once again RD is a mind reader and manages to impart racist overtones into virtually any topic.
I just want most liberals to refrain from claiming to believe in evolution. I don't like seeing it used as a proxy weapon in the liberal-religious war. Stop misusing a "belief in evolution" and I'll quit rubbing your creationism in your face.

So, a lightning bolt struck a pool of chemicals and it came to life and turned into an amoeba and eventually into you?
