Does Mike Pence believe in evolution? Apparently not...

[Crixus]

He had trouble answering a question on the topic in 2009.

While it’s anyone’s guess what presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump thinks about evolution, his rumored running mate apparently doesn’t think it’s real.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R), whom Trump has allegedly selected to be his vice presidential running mate, struggled to answer questions about evolution during a 2009 interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. At the time, Pence was a congressman representing Indiana’s 6th District.

Matthews repeatedly asked if he believed in evolution, which the scientific community widely accepts as fact. Pence would not outright answer the question, but implied that he instead subscribes to creationism.

MATTHEWS: Okay, you want to educate the American people about science and its relevance today. Do you believe in evolution, sir?

PENCE: Do I believe in evolution? I embrace the view that God created the heavens and the earth, the seas and all that’s in them.

MATTHEWS: Right. But do you believe in evolution as the way he did it?

PENCE: The means, Chris, that he used to do that, I can’t say. But I do believe in that fundamental truth.​

Pence has stayed silent on the topic since then, and his office didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment on his current views.

Trump has also not made his views on the issue clear. While most of his rivals during the GOP primary either flatly rejected evolution or claimed they didn’t have the scientific knowledge to make that call, Trump has been silent on what he believes.

A debate prep memo penned by ex-Trump adviser Roger Stone ahead of the first GOP debate last year, however, coached Trump to say he “believes in both” creationism and evolution if asked.

Great...another anti-science idiot. Is Indiana a breeding ground for them or something?

Nothing could be more anti-science than the global warming religion.

It's good to hear from someone with mind power. I bet you even know the name of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse.

Did you have a point of some kind?

I questioned the THEORY of evolution when they said we evolved from the Apes. My question was, why are there still apes?

No one claims we evolved from apes, save ignorant detractors.

Humans and other great apes evolved from a common ancestor. This is a distinct proposition from claiming we evolved from apes.

In everyday usage, "theory" often refers to a hunch or a speculation. Thus, the theory of evolution.

Duh, that ain't what "theory" means in the scientific community...

In science, a theory is a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena.

Evolution is a fact. There are some aspects of evolution that are unknown, but in general, it is simply fact in the same way that the theory of gravity is fact.

Obama should be fed to the dogs.

Sometimes if you have nothing to say, focus on saying nothing.

Confirms that the republican party wants to make America like Iran. A religious anti-science crap hole.

You don't stand for personal freedom! You use religion to judge people and want our government as the hand of god.

Pence is scum.

When did Pence ever advocate using "government as the hand of God"? I mean, good God, do you lie awake at night dreaming up this stupid shit?

There is abject terror at the thought. They would probably run shrieking into the night if they realized just how many believers are RIGHT BEHIND THEM! Now they just need to change their underwear and get back to work.

Advocate? Get informed before making an ass of yourself.

Speaking of making an ass out of one's self, how does this in any way backup your stupid claim that Pence advocates using "government as the hand of God"?

How about you use some of that angst against your fellow dems, namely the religious black ones....

 

[martybegan]

Creationism? Holy shit. Anyone who believe in Creationism should not even be near the White House - let alone Vice President of the United States.

Does that include all of the black's who are fundamentalist christian?

 

[easyt65]

Pence is a Christian. Being a Christian does not make one 'anti-science' but does make anyone who thinks so the 'idiot'. (Neither does questioning disputable 'undeniable' global warming', but that's a whole separate thread...).

Matthews even suggests himself that God created the heavens and the earth utilizing the process 'pro-evolutionists' call 'evolution'. The Bible says God created the heavens and the earth but does not say HOW. Perhaps he did so through the process called 'the big bang theory', perhaps not.

Anyone seeking to claim Pence is not qualified to be VP based on the fact that he believes God created the heavens and the earth is as ridiculous as someone saying another candidate is not qualified because they DON'T believe God created the heavens and the earth.

Is anyone really afraid that Pence as VP might actually force the US to adopt a Christian belief system or be punished by the DOJ (like Obama/Lynch considered doing with global warming)? Anyone concerned PENCE as VP will force any radical Christian legislation through into law HIMSELF? That's laughable.

This is little more than Christian 'haters' hatin' on Pence because of his religious beliefs.

...IMHO.


....Obama's racist, anti-American, hate-spewing 'pastor' MENTOR led Barry in 'Christian' faith in their Black Liberation Theology church, where Wright taught 'wonderful' messages such as 'God D@mn America' for decades, and Barry's Christian faith never seemed to be a problem for Libs....so why is Pence's?
