Religious broadcaster says Scott Walker was right: ‘Real experts’ have ‘disproven’ evolution

[DonViejo]

A religious right broadcaster defended Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who declined to say whether evolution was real when questioned by a British reporter during an overseas trip.

Radio host Sandy Rios, who also serves as governmental affairs director of the American Family Association, said during a broadcast that the likely Republican presidential candidate should not be mocked for “punting” on the question, reported Right Wing Watch.

“In the sense that Darwin taught about species morphing into other species, evolving into other types of species, that has not happened,” Rios said. “There is no scientific evidence.

She claimed the “real experts” would show that the foundational principal of biology had been disproven and was based on faulty evidence.

“Evolution has become the religion of the elite,” Rios said. “It’s a religion to the level of fanaticism of what they would say was the people at the Scopes monkey trial, the Christians waving their Bibles who were not really thinking through the facts, they were just outraged because it was against God’s law.”

1. Where are the "real experts"? Who are they?

What evidence did they disprove?

[SomethingFishy]

4. Why Religious Experts of course!

And they have all the evidence they need in the book of Genesis.. Here are the FACTS:


1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

EXPERTS DAMN YOU!

5. That's what I was afraid of. nt

[Major Nikon]

6. Who needs science when you have the bible?

[hifiguy]

8. Seldom do you get two logical fallacies

here, begging the question and circular reasoning - for the price of one.

Citing the bible to prove the existence of a god is like citing Action Comics to prove the existence of Superman.

[Major Nikon]

9. Actually there's something to be said for people who believe in talking donkeys

Which is worse, someone who believes in god and thinks Noah lived to be 900 yrs old, or someone who believes in god and doesn't think Noah lived to be 900 yrs old?

[hifiguy]

10. When I was a small boy I read literally everything in the house.

Eventually I came to the bible. When I read that there were people living to be 900 years old I instantly smelled bullshit even though I was maybe 6 or 7 years old. My reasoning? "Hmm, grandpa is more than 80 and he's real old. And we have doctors now. Something is fishy here."

I was a freethinker by 7, an agnostic leaning to atheism by 11 and became a convinced atheist after seeing Carl Sagan's Cosmos. i was a weird, very serious and very logical kid. :p

[Major Nikon]

11. I can't remember any time in my life when I believed in god

Perhaps there may have been a time when I was very young, but if so it certainly wasn't worth remembering. My father was a Unitarian minister. Anytime I asked him what I should believe he always said that was something I needed to figure out on my own. He gave the same counsel to anyone else who asked that question. I never had to tell him I was an atheist although he certainly knew. It wasn't something that bothered him in the least.

12. UUs are pretty cool.

Every one I have met over the years has been nice, open-minded and rational.

[Major Nikon]

13. Here's how open minded my father's church was

During the summers my dad would take a sabbatical and volunteers from the congregation would provide the Sunday sermon. We actually had a couple of atheists in the congregation and I can remember one of them giving us a sermon on why he was an atheist.

Some churches might claim to be open minded, but I doubt very many would ever be that open minded.

[jmowreader]

2. "Real experts" = "people we agree with"

It doesn't matter that 99 and 44/100 percent of all scientists say evolution is true. Nope...the Bible says otherwise, I believe it and that settles it.

[Blue Owl]

3. I wanna know what the surreal experts have to say

[Monk06]

7. You mean experts like Dr Kent (here's my daily life in prison for ten years) Hovind? That expert?

The guy that did but didn't teach high school science for ten years. The guy who has a Phd in education which he earned in an online university, Patriot Bible University, founded and run by a convicted child molester?

That scientific expert Dr Kent Hovind?

The Jesus rode a dinosaur and unicorns existed but died out theorist?

That scientific expert Kent Hovind?
