Astonishingly, Sarah Palin does Not Believe in Evolution ...

Category: Creation ScienceCreationismIntelligent Design
Posted on: November 16, 2009 3:30 PM, by Greg Laden

In Going Rogue: An American Life Sarah Palin make sthe claim that she does not believe in evolution. She has not been so straightfoward in the past on this topic, according to think progress.

...she talks about creationism, saying she "didn't believe in the theory that human beings -- thinking, loving beings -- originated from fish that sprouted legs and crawled out of the sea" or from "monkeys who eventually swung down from the trees."

This is a flip flop from what she said during the campaign. Sara Palin is a flip flopper. Spread it around.

I think some history is missing here. I had known that she was a creationist soon after she entered the campaign. Her argument is the common argument from incredulity, which is not surprising. I also don't believe in evolution. I have studied evolution and I am convinced of it.

She's been a creationist all along. She has waffled on whether or not evolution should be taught in schools.

Personally, I find nothing astonishing in any of this.

I don't believe in Sarah Palin. She is a mask that Michele Bachmann wears.

The astonishing thing is that there are still people in the U.S. who think she's got anything relevant to say.

Maybe we all came from Pollyanna Seeds sprinkled across this empty Earth by Glenda the "Good Girl" of the West and Evolution is merely something some old man in England invented to make everyone think he was important.

Yea, for Sarah!

If she wasn't already happily married I would rush over to her Winnebago, parked in that lot over there between the Target Store and the blue-light special at K-Mart, crawl to her door, and propose my honest, undying, heartfelt and most sincere devotion to her most perfect of all possible perfect....Perfectitudinalities of perfect renditional feminine perfection.

Drool, drool, droll. Oh, Sarah.

Yours truly,
Me
