Hi, this is a cross-post from the Politics tribe. I thought it would be relevant here.
<<I was kind of negatively surprised to hear Ron Pauls statements on evolution..
Another reason i would not vote for this guy..
Ron Paul: I don't believe in evolution >>

What a freaking headcase!
Actually, we had some political candidates in Canada who believed in Creationism...and that man walked with the dinosaurs. These politicians were mocked and jeered by everyone who came in contact with them. The head of the Conservative Party Stockwell Day for instance has his campaign bus nicknamed 'Prayer Force one', and the MEDIA (cameramen, anchormen, soundmen) used to mock him by whistling the 'Flintstones' theme out loud whenever they were in his presence. Imagine this for a moment. A reporter asks you a question and your answer is drowned out by twenty people whistling simultaneously as the reporter just grins. Not just any twenty people, but the very same News crew covering your election campaign. This was broadcast live! No one lost their jobs over it either. Since most people who saw the news live thought that this was hilarious, the opposition quickly scored points with the voters when they brought in little Fred and Barney dolls to cabinet meetings with them.
Seriously, if Americans see no problem with a President who thinks that humans walked with dinosaurs and that the planet is only ten thousand years old, then all I can say is good luck with your Science programs and welcome to the new middle ages. The twenty-first century is starting to look more like the twelfth century than the twentieth!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to see more Americans doing this in their own country. Whistling the theme to the Flintstones that is.
Whenever someone mentions that they believe in 'Creationism' or 'Intelligent design', start whistling the theme to the Flintstones very loudly until they shut up and leave.
If you see any Presidential candidate on TV saying that he doesn't believe in evolution, start whistling the theme to the Flintstones.
Tell all your friends to do the same thing as well. Go to a bar and do this publicly. They don't listen to you, so why should you listen to them?
DROWN THEM OUT! !
'Intelligent design' is not a Theory, it's an ideology. it wasn't developed by observation and experimentation, but by a group of people with an agenda cherry-picking things that suit them. What is their agenda? To win the battle for your mind. YOUR MIND is all you really have. Don't let these people try and take it from you, or take it from anyone else.
When they push you, YOU PUSH BACK.
After all, when the Creationists are attacking the Theory of Evolution, they are in essence attacking Science itself! Does one really need to re-enact the Scopes trial of 1925 every time some dim-wit tries to shove a Bible down everyone's throats? It's not open to debate! Ever wonder why there are so many foreign scientists working in the United States right now? It's because society is being dumbed down, and replacing the Theory of Evolution with Creationism in public schools and high schools is not only a violation of the First Amendment, it's the virtual equivalent to a national lobotomy. How can one expect American students to possibly excel in Science and technology when they reject the very basis of what has influenced the field of biology, turning the clock back to 1859?
