A wingnut reflects on the correlation between Republicanism and scientific ignorance

Of course by changing the subject. :eyes:

The irony of the evolutionarily faithful:


The majority of Republicans in the United States do not believe the theory of evolution is true and do not believe that humans evolved over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. This suggests that when three Republican presidential candidates at a May debate stated they did not believe in evolution, they were generally in sync with the bulk of the rank-and-file Republicans whose nomination they are seeking to obtain.

Independents and Democrats are more likely than Republicans to believe in the theory of evolution. But even among non-Republicans there appears to be a significant minority who doubt that evolution adequately explains where humans came from.


No doubt evolutionists will argue that this is significant proof that Independents and Democrats are smarter than Republicans. Of course, it's interesting to note that those presumably less intelligent Republicans are also wealthier, happier, are more likely to possess a college degree and live longer than their more evolutionarily-correct Democratic counterparts.

The lowest average life-expectancy in the nation is 72.6, in Washington DC, which at 90 percent Democratic is far and away the most Democratic voting community in the nation. The most Democratic state proper, Massachusetts (62 percent Democrat), has a life expectancy of 78.4. Meanwhile, the most Republican state, Utah, (72 percent Republican) has an average life expectancy of 78.7.

Democratic Hawaii has the highest life-expectancy, 79.8, but let's face it, that probably has more to do with life on the beach than politics....

1. Yeah, dude- so why are the BLUE states the ones with all the high incomes and prosperous businesses

while the Red ones are floundering?

[liberal N proud]

2. Because many in the red states did not evolve

:rofl:

3. With Utah you have the Mormon population

that has dietary and lifestyle habits that promote better health

4. Thankfully 2+2=4 isn't up for a vote.

5. That sounds like Kirk Cameron-style logic.....

[Ioo]

6. Totally made up facts? Specious Reasoning at best

7. What is this "can never prove evolution" bullshit anyway?

He says that we need evolutionary engineers to prove evolution. We have them. They are called GENETICISTS. And you can see their handiwork in any DNA sample!:argh:

[ET Awful]

8. So, according to this guy, "life on the beach" extends your lifespan?

Hmmmm, I guess he never heard of skin cancer. :P

9. Fuckwit disproves his own argument, then ignores it

Democratic Hawaii has the highest life-expectancy, 79.8, but let's face it, that probably has more to do with life on the beach than politics....

Hey stupid, if this is supposed to be a consistent trend you're talking about, then why does Hawaii have a long life expectancy? To dismiss it as being life on the beach is just a sign that you spend more time masturbating that thinking. Get your hand out of your pants and try to explain it, or else don't come up with a throwaway answer that you like because it was easy to come up with so you could go on with your screed. You think it has to do with life on the beach? PROVE IT. Other states have beaches and tropical climates.
