Mike Pence: "Evolution is just a theory"

Mike Pence, soon to be the Vice-President of the most powerful nation on earth, is a creationist who regards evolution as just a theory and not a fact:

What a complete fucktard!

Amazing that he struggles with the idea that as new information is discovered, the text books will be updated to accommodate it, preferring that we just instead stick to the Bible which is clearly and demonstrably wrong. Actually watching an articulate man talk through this without realising he is talking shit is completely staggering.
The Bible is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies.

To be fair, "Evolution" defined as "change within species" is accepted by creationists like Ken Ham and Jonathan Safarti as a fact.

He will advise Trump to appoint a creationist to the Supreme Court and to the Department of Education.

That's not what evolution means. Ham is a fucking idiot.

Wow. I couldn't listen to the whole video clip. That much arrogant, willful stupidity, is just too much. FFS, can't he just be used for spare parts or something?

Not only is he going to the VP, but he is now heading Trump's transition team and will choose all cabinet members and seniour staff, including at the Department of Education. There are rumours that creationists are asking him to impose a moratorium on the teaching of evolution within President Trump's first 100 days.

I'm pretty sure that, at the very least, Trump and some members of the Republican leadership will be involved in that.

Well actually, gravity is a law.

Apparently creationists base their entire scientific knowledge on semantics.

President Bush pandered to creationists but never took them seriously. Mike Pence is a creationist and takes his creationism very seriously.

Interesting theory. Or is that a hypothesis?
