wasting time on the internet
I was reading The Nose the other day, a column from the Tacoma newspaper that basically highlights various local news bits, in a snarky, gossipy way.
One it brought to light that the town of South Prairie has a tsunami evacuation sign. The problem being it isn't near the ocean, but rather Mt. Rainier and its lahars. Yeah, I've seen that sign; it ( Read more... )

Well, I think people can not believe in it. People are free to believe in anything, even if they are the only one to do so. (Like in the movie I watched yesterday, The Pursuit of Happyness, where some guy believes a bone density scanner is a time machine. Nobody else agrees, but that is the gloriousness of free will.)
But asking the question is stupid. It people to consider it as a belief, and then politicians use their answer to try to appeal to a certain group of people.

Well, I believe there's a difference between macro- and micro-evolution. Some people, for example, believe that God had no role at all in the creation of the universe. I believe he did. And to me that's the real issue. [During one of the debates], I thought "Oh, dear Lord, why is this the discussion for a presidential candidate?" My point was, I don't know how long it took, I don't know when it happened, where it happened, I wasn't there. But if you want to pin me down, I believe that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. I don't know how he did it. How long did it take him? Don't know, [this question] is not to me fundamental to being the next president of the United States.
Emphasis mine.
At least someone is showing some sense, even if he didn't say that at the time.
