How is it like believing lizard people exist on earth? One is something backed up by lots of evidence, the other is a random brain fart from a brainwashed child. I don't believe there are lizard people walking the earth because there's no evidence to suggest that they're around.

Anyway, we exist because of our brains. We are highly intelligent, and early man learned how to make tools. Tools to defend ourselves with, to hunt with, etc. We learned how to make environments adapt to us. Altruistic behavior meant possibly giving up your life for the continued existence of the rest of your clan.

There was a time we didn't have those tools though. A time we were vulnerable.

I'm not gonna keep this up though. You've engaged in 'debate' about evolution plenty of times before and despite several educated members telling you otherwise, you continue to believe in your storybook. I'll just leave you with this, although you'll probably dismiss it as communist propaganda

e: ok last one, first off we weren't just suddenly homo sapiens. we branched off from the same group that chimps branched off of, meaning early man was still quite physically strong but also began to display tool-making abilities.

Lol, educated, lol. There are creationists that are far better educated and far more intelligent than these educated people in the forums.

and they've all been proven wrong by even more educated people like Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawkings, Stephen Jay Gould, etc...

And if you want to discuss how this affects her bid for the Presidency, fine...but if you want to get into a debate about Creationism in and of itself, take it elsewhere.  Seriously, it's not that unreasonable to ask that you guys not turn every thread into a religious back and forth.

I don't think I'm entirely intelligent, I have faith that I am on the correct side. Or at least almost. I know I have got alot to learn.

Lacking critical thinking skills =/= "retarded"

An example of someone believing in something that has loads of scientific evidence against the position taken--such as humans and dinosaurs coexisting--is an example of flawed critical thinking skills. Not a problem with her belief in creationism. Creationism does not teach that man and dinosaurs lived simultaneously. Creationism teaches that God created the universe. There is a difference between those two positions, and that difference is empirical evidence and critical thinking. To fault her ability on the latter does not in any way fault her belief in creationism writ large.

Does that sufficiently explain what you're missing?
C'mon FEOS, you have read the argument that she is retarded because she believes men and dinosaurs lived at the same time. Fine if you wanna say she lacks critical thinking skills instead of saying "retarded", fine, still, it ridiculous to think that belief equates to WW3 and "pushing the button".

How is this picking?  I made a non targeted statement(actually, it would have been in response to FEOS) that he responded to.  Hence why he is quoted.

I didn't see any 'crying', more of an observation pointing out the hypocrisy and as Dill illustrated the straw man.  I haven't glossed anything over.  I'm amazed that this thread has gone this far.  Palin really bothers people.  She's polarizing and has endured and overcome a vicious media campaign against her.  I still believe she'd would have made a better VP than Biden, and she shouldn't run for President.
She's an easy target for the media because she has set herself up to be one.

As much as you carry on about her being targeted in the media I haven't noticed anyone actually saying she is intelligent or hasn't said and believes in dumb things. At most the counter argument has been "but... other people have said dumb things... and other people believe in religion"

Weak.
No, the counter argument is your selective criticism and your priorities in thinking Palins creationism opinion is worse than Obama's cover ups, his opaque administration, and unethical, unscrupulous and morally corrupt associations and their actions within our govt.
For the millionth time, I never mentioned Obama. Do try to keep up for once.

I find when talking to you I repeat myself a lot, which is something I don't need to do when discussing with other posters. Are you truly that dense?

I just think in general Palin isn't intellectually suited to be POTUS. She lacks critical thinking skills and whilst she's charming, it's in a bit of a bimbo way. Certainly not leadership material.

She resigned as Governor, no? Obviously couldn't handle that job so to think she could take on something much larger is ridiculous.

I don't believe she resigned as Governor because she couldn't handle it. She wants to work on the sidelines and being Governor doesn't give her much time and freedom she'd need to do so.
