Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo was asked, "what's the latest work of fiction you've read?" His answer: An Inconvenient Truth.

Guess that goes on his fiction shelf right next to Darwin's Origin of Species.

OK, so call me a tyrant

Really, there should be a litmus test for candidates seeking political office in DC, and the wrong answer to the simple question, "Do you believe in evolution?," ought to disqualify them.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

But...

... if someone like Tancredo looks to his religious faith for answers to life's questions, shouldn't we respect him as a man of principle. Why does the "left" demand Presidents that rely on "facts" -- which are always changing anyway -- when making decisions. Afterall, there ARE other ways of knowing, other ways to guide our lives. Folks put far too much confidence in science to meet their needs. We need less science in government. Religion has served humanity well for thousands of years... name one successful civilization that was not grounded in faith in a deity or deities. Clearly, America would be better off if we return to faith. We would not have to contantly waste money on revising policies as new information is acquired. We could decide on one course of action for each problem and remain steadfast all of the way to victory... for ever and ever.

Cooking Tancredo

First of all,I am not a Tancredo fan and am mostly A Political,But he is right,that production is fiction and Darwin did terrible damage to the science of creation.We ,like the earth are not accidents,the master geneticists did a fine job,Although many have desecrated their efforts.This universe is a creation by men,long ago,it is engineered for humanity,all of the habitable planets spin at a 24 hour /day rate and the others spin at the rates they are designed at to make these galaxys work.I repeat,this is a mechanical designed system we live in.Human beings were created in genetics labs.The different races we have on this planet were brought here long ago for different reasons as races were created by creation men for habitation on different planets.We have immigration from a specific planet set almost daily in the lifters(UFO's to you folks)They of course are not green or ET come home types as they are a different story and of course ,not easily assimilable on this planet.
