Questioning Evolution

Why is it we liberals seem to get so butt hurt when someone questions evolution? We tend to be just as defensive when someone questions this one scientific theory as Christians when someone questions creationism. I made a simple comment that I have a few issues with evolution, and I was immediately jumped on for saying it on a forum.

So what did I say that was so offensive to the liberal mind? I simply stated that I had a few long term issues with evolution. Among them was the fact that their a multiple gaps in the fossile records that tend to not support evolution as we know it. Another problem is the fact that for evolution to have taken place as it's most commonly presented, well the odds would have been so astronomical that it's highly unlikiely.

Dr. Harold Morowitz, former professor of biophysics at Yale University, estimated that the probability of the chance formation of the smallest, simplest form of living organism known is 1 out of 10^340,000,000. One out of ten to the 340 millionth power is unimaginable odds.

I consider these reasonable doubts, yet most liberals seem to be somehow offended if you question these ideas. They defend them with the same vigor that christians defend creationism... So why are liberals so ass hurt?

CIA used mock executions, power tools.

Newsweek just released an article that claims a CIA briefing, that will be released next week, includes damaging evidence of brutal interrogation techniques used by the CIA since 9/11. The article claims the CIA used mock executions, guns and power tools to interrogate prisoners. I would say this brings a whole new level of disgusting to the Bush administration.

Egyptian vendors honor Obama

From the AP:

CAIRO - For the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Egyptian fruit sellers have named their best dates of the year after President Barack Obama in a sweet tribute to the American leader for his outreach to the Muslim world.

Dates are a traditional food for Ramadan — which begins Saturday in most of the Islamic world — since the Prophet Muhammad is said to have used them to break the month's sunrise-to-sunset fast each evening.

The worst dates are named after, you guessed it.... Bush.

Bush used alert system for political gain

An interesting story is coming out that involves Tom Ridges new book. Ridge writes that four days before the 2004 election, That the Bush administration pressured the department of homeland security to raise the terrorist threat level. Ridge admits that at the time, raising the threat level made absolutely no sense security wise, and was all but politicaly motivated.

I have to say this does not suprise me at all. While I doubt anything will ever come from this, it is worth mentioning that manipulating a government agency for political gain is illegal.

Fox can't stop the bleeding

Even more sponors have bailed on the Glenn Beck show. As of today Wal-Mart, Best Buy, CVS, Alergen and Travelocity. Several other minor sponsors have also pulled the plug today. How much more ad revenue can Glenn Beck lose before getting the axe from Fox?

Obama Health Care Betrayal

The betrayal is now complete

From the AP:

WASHINGTON - Bowing to Republican pressure, President Barack Obama's administration signaled on Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new U.S. health care system.

Facing mounting opposition to the overhaul, administration officials left open the chance for a compromise with Republicans that would include health insurance cooperatives instead of a government-run plan. Such a concession would likely enrage his liberal supporters.
