Maher threw out another body.....

"Bill Maher has so far kept his promise to air an embarrassing clip of Tea Party favorite and Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell every week that she refuses to be a guest on his HBO show, "Real Time."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB0TLgcNesU&feature=player_embedded


She`s so cock-sure of her reasoning,just look at her face when she says it.This one is scary.

The rational behind calling evolution a "myth"?.........A question:"why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?"

Now before her defenders/apologists start playing semantic word games.......evolution is a theory and creationism(fundie non/anti-science)is a myth.

If this doesnt wake up enough dems to go and vote against these freaks of nature, then dammit nothing will and they deserve what they get.
speaking as another kind of freak of nature, I think the teaparty is the repubs way of getting rid of the dreck of the dreck. this election cycle is a joke

Both evolution of species and creation of species are theories. Christine O'Donnell and William Maher represent an average citizen not trained in science. Their choices have more to do with politics than science: Christine O'Donnell religious, and Bill Maher an atheist. I have no problem with it.

What scientific basis does creation "theory" have?

Please be specific.

The 'Theory of Evolution' is a Scientific Theory, not a common man's theory. Creationism, is a belief, based entirely on the Holy Bible in Genesis (old world or new world....take your pick). Creationism is vaguely based on the laws of science, and a very large portion of it, you have to take purely on faith. Neither Christine O'Donnel or William Maher, represent the 'average' citizen. Bill Maher (as he likes to be called), has a very decent understanding of what a scientific theory is; Christine O'Donnell is batsh*t crazy like other Republican females (Sarah Palin & Sen. Michelle Bachmann).

The existence of living species and their physical characteristics are sufficient basis to create a theory.

There is no need for a biblical basis.

A scientific theory must be backed by evidence. Creation, meaning the sudden and instantaneous creation of life either as it is now or not too far different, is not a scientific theory. The existence of living species also backs the following statements as much as it backs creation:

Life fell from the sky and the world was good.

Harry Potter time traveled into the past and summoned up life.

A very skilled programmer has created a simulation in which we believe we are experiencing things which do not exist. Similar to the Matrix.


Evolution is backed on years of research all spent to find out how old the Earth is and what has been going on since the world has been around.

The woman is a nutcase, and a symptom of just how unstable and crazy this election cycle is. Did you hear about the guy the Dems are running for Senate in South Carolina?

What does this blackmail tell us about the personal character of Bill Maher, though?

You should really try reading the words you quote into your own posts.

Perhaps we should call creationism rather a hypothesis. It does not fit into theory category at this level. Creation does not mean necessarily "instantaneous creation", there are many versions people believe. We must also specify what kind of evolution we are talking about. Biological adaptation of species is well demonstrated fact of evolution. The origin of species and the origin of life itself is still not well understood.

No, gravity is a physical property we can measure. An explanation what it means is a theory. Gravity in this context would compare to a biosphere.

I'm still looking for Noah's Ark, there is a theory it exists.

You know what they say: "To some people evolution will always be an impossibility."
