This is a contentious issue, I
know, but I have for several years now - from a purely secular
viewpoint (STG) found it odd that while Darwin's theory of evolution
fails by his own standards, it's more or less the law of the land that
he's god, and God doesn't exist. Recently Ann Coulter has focused
on the issue, and here makes a valid observation about Gov. Huckabee. Valid, no matter which side of the argument you come down on.
| “ | The media are transfixed by the fact that Huckabee says he doesn't
believe in evolution. Neither do I, for reasons detailed in
approximately one-third of my No. 1 New York Times best-selling book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism .
I went on a massive book tour for Godless
just last year, including a boffo opening interview with Matt Lauer on
NBC's "Today," a one-on-one, full-hour interview with Chris Matthews on
"Hardball," and various other hostile interviews from the organs of
establishmentarian opinion.
But I didn't get a single question from them on the topic of one-third of my book.
If the mainstream media are burning with curiosity about what
critics of Darwinism have to say, how about asking me? I can also name
any number of mathematicians, scientists and authors who have rejected Darwin's discredited theory and would be happy to rap with them about it.
But they won't ask us, because, unlike the cornpone, we won't
immediately collapse under gentle questioning. It's one thing to be
"easily led" by the pope. Huckabee is easily led by Larry King.
Asked on CNN's "Larry King Live" Monday night about his beliefs on
evolution, Huckabee rushed to assure King that he has no interest in
altering textbooks that foist this fraud on innocent schoolchildren.
I don't understand that. Does Huckabee believe Darwinism is a hoax
or not? If he knows it's a fraud, then why does he want it taught to
schoolchildren? What other discredited mystery religions -- as
mathematician David Berlinski calls Darwinism -- does Huckabee want to
teach children? Sorcery? Phrenology? Alchemy?
