[QUOTE=Madman_Andre;37947930]Rick Perry thinks the US Constitution should be tossed out and replaced with the Word of God. He's a state governor. :v:[/QUOTE] Canada's looking better every day.
[QUOTE=Trooper0315;37953526]Canada's looking better every day.[/QUOTE] It even has free bacon!
some areas of evolution need to be researched and fixed more like the racist parts left over from the time when the theory was first created like the parts about white people evolving from black people and therefore being more advanced and stuff which is just racist bullshit left in to appease the racist masses of those times.

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;37958088]It's not really just one generation.[/QUOTE] I think with the abundance of ideas sloshing around the internet, people are more likely to realize what their parents feed them is not the only thing in the world. Allow me to explain... Say you have one small sleepy isolated town in the USA, where this congressman was born. Say this is in the 1960s. There's no internet around here, and other towns are miles away. His parents were religious, and so were his friends parents. What else did they have to go on? They take their parents word for it, like any child does. They believe in the same stuff, they go to church, and never really know anything different. What reason do they have to doubt it, for no one ever presents an argument against it! They know not of other ideas, simply because of isolation and peer pressure. Sure, they may question it, but who would dare speak out about it in fear of becoming a reject? New ideas are suppressed, and life goes on, believing the same stuff for their entire lives. This is true. Have you ever noticed how a certain religion is prominent in certain areas of the world only? Compare this, then, to a well linked, modern town, with internet and multicultural residents. Suddenly other ideas are made apparent, and due to the number of different beliefs, no one is an outcast for having your own thing. The internet offers so many different opinions, like yours and mine, it would be silly to say exposure to these ideas doesn't change anything. Hopefully with the new technology and abundance of computers we can expect to see wiser people than those who reject proven ideas for a flimsy book. This is not to say I hope religion dies, for I have no problem with it. I just don't want it mixed up with things that can potentially affect other people's lives. Having a congressman like this is likely to affect some people's lives, given that he is in a position of such power. Therefore, he shouldn't let such beliefs affect his decision, and if he does (which he says he does) then he shouldn't be a congressman...
