Sorry Tucker, I should have read more of your posts. Sometimes you are in a more playful mood; I guess this is not one of those times.

Doesn''t the bible say god created man from a pile of dust, and woman from a rib bone?

The National Academies Press has just released a book entitled "Science, Evolution and Creationism". I HIGHLY recommend that anyone on this forum with any interest at all in the evolution/creationism debate order a copy and read it. It''s only $11.65 and can be ordered online from:

http://www.nap.edu

I especially recommend it to singinrick and mudrose. I think it will answer many of the questions you have posed.

"Like I haven''t heard these childish insulting comments before from evolutionists"

Singinrick - They aren''t meant to be insulting. You''ve heard them before because they are true. I am merely urging you to learn some things about science, what it is, how it operates and why, what it has discovered. It is good to have an open mind and to seek out knowledge. Please take a science course or two !

Mike Huckabee won Iowa because he tricked people into thinking he is a "Man of God". According to a recent article published by the Associated Press (A Look at Huckabee, Obama Iowa Victories, Alan Fram 01/04/08)

"Religion played a huge role in Mike Huckabee''s triumph in the Iowa Republican caucuses, though there are some mixed signals for him on the road ahead.

Eight in 10 Huckabee supporters said they are born again or evangelical Christians, according to an entrance poll for The Associated Press and television networks. Another six in 10 said it was very important to share their candidate''s religious beliefs.

In addition, six in 10 Huckabee supporters %u2014 more than his rivals %u2014 said it was most important that their candidate shared their values. Only 4 percent of his backers said they wanted a contender with experience, and 2 percent said they were looking for a Republican who can win the White House in November."

Yet further investigation suggests that his supporters really don''t know Mike Huckabee''s values.
