Maybe they just didn’t want to alienate the GEICO caveman vote.

Three GOP presidential candidates admitted that they didn’t believe in evolution tonight. Crooks and Liars has the video. It is absolutely hilarious. Go watch.

From the comments-

Worst. President. Ever. said:
Hey, c’mon: the theory of evolution is just a theory.
And the law of gravity is just a law, therefore Congress can repeal it whenever they want to.

UPDATE: Ok this is the greatest comment EVAR!

My appetite has been whetted. I now want to know what other scientific theories they don’t believe in. The laws of thermodynamics? Inorganic chemistry? Optics?

It’s not like science is a buffet. You can’t just say “Oh, I like that internal combustion engine, so that science obviously works. But don’t give me any of that evolution, or that special relativity crap, And you can stick your Riemann integrals right up your hooter.”

Anything that makes use of the scientific method, and involves publishing theories in peer-reviewed journals, citing evidence and/or logic, is science.

Anything that makes use of nouns, verbs, conjugations, and other esoteric mysteries, is language studies. Anything that involves declaiming nonsense in a loud pretentious voice, pretending to be a daisy, and wearing baggy pants, is performance art.

And believing stuff without the slightest shred of evidence is religion. It’s not hard to work out the difference. I’m sure even republitards could do it, if they tried.

Actually, you can stuff your Riemann integrals up your hooter. Satan told me to say that.

Who loves ya, baby?

Said in my best Dr. Venture voice: "Crap."

The Arctic ice cap is melting much faster than expected and is now about 30 years ahead of predictions made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.S. ice expert said on Tuesday.

This means the ocean at the top of the world could be free or nearly free of summer ice by 2020, three decades sooner than the global panel's gloomiest forecast of 2050. No ice on the Arctic Ocean during summer would be a major spur to global warming, said Ted Scambos, a glaciologist at the National Snow and Ice Center in Colorado.

"Right now ... the Arctic helps keep the Earth cool," Scambos said in a telephone interview. "Without that Arctic ice, or with much less of it, the Earth will warm much faster."
