"none of us are running to be an 8th grade science teacher" - Classic makes you wonder if being a complete moron is actually a requirement for being president of america.
Public school science teachers are required to subscribe to evolution theory by law, it has nothing to do with their intelligence... For 40k+benefits, most people will believe anything
I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make... The term "Evolution Theory" is very misleading. Evolution is *NOT* a theory, it's a scientific fact just as gravity is. As you may know there's a "theory" of gravity, likewise there is a "theory" of evolution. What this means is that the fact that it happens is known, the only thing that is a theory is *HOW* it happens not whether it happens. This is really very basic knowledge. The fact that we have someone who is considered a "frontrunner" for the highest office in our country that would even PRETEND (and i do hope he is pretending) to not understand something this basic is disturbing to say the least.
The frightening thing is Zibblu that he said he believed that god created the earth and humans. Huckabees idiocy isn't even based on a misunderstanding of the evidence, it's based on a complete denial that it even exists. It wouldn't be too bad if someone looks at evolution and finds, Through the scientific method, Flaws in it. But to deny that it happens simply because a primitive book says otherwise is the height of idiocy and not really something that should be celebrated in someone who is potentially the next leader of the most powerful country on the planet.
I am just saying that public school science teachers are required to believe or at least pretend to believe in evolution by Board of Education. (And I am sure it's not just in my state) It doesn't necessarily mean that they are morons
Why would believing in a scientific fact make them morons? If they are a science teacher then they should obviously understand the basics of science. Employing a science teacher who doesn't understand that evolution is a scientific fact is like employing a math teacher that doesn't know 2 + 2 = 4.
