MSNBC 2013 Highlights
The various hosts of MSNBC shows have been featuring "Highlights" of their 2013 shows. Someone put together this compilation that is pretty funny. (link below) BTW, one of the show hosts ... Melissa Harris Perry ... demonstrated that racism is alive and well even among the highly educated members of "academia" that Perry represents. She is the daughter of a college dean, has a bachelor's degree in English and a PhD in political science. In addition to being an MSNBC show host, she is also a professor at Tulane University. She's also African-American. During her year in review show on Sunday, she showed a picture of Mitt Romney's large family that included Mitt Romney holding his son's adopted toddler on his knee. The toddler happens to be African-American. What fun Perry and her panel had mocking the Romney family. Comments like, "One thing is not like the others", "Token baby", etc., plus the typical anti-conservative political comments. So much for the "enlightened" ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpRA5H3iuMQ#t=44 |

I don't need any more reason to be disgusted with liberal talking heads and politicians of all sorts. |

The overall percentage of Americans who say "humans and other living things evolved over time" (60 percent) versus those who believe "humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time" (33 percent) is about the same as it was in a similar poll four years ago. But the political gap has widened substantially. In 2009, 54 percent of Republicans said they accepted the theory of evolution as true, compared with 64 percent of Democrats. But in the intervening years, opinions appear to have evolved: In the latest poll, nearly half of Republicans (48 percent) believed in a static view of human and animal origins, while just 30 percent of Democrats expressed that point of view. Independents tracked closely with the breakdown for Democrats. "The gap is coming from the Republicans, where fewer are now saying that humans have evolved over time," says Cary Funk, a Pew senior researcher who conducted the analysis, . Nearly a quarter (24 percent) of those surveyed by Pew said they believed that a "supreme being guided evolution for the purpose of creating humans and other life in the form it exists today." According to Pew: "A majority of white evangelical Protestants (64%) and half of black Protestants (50%) say that humans have existed in their present form since the beginning of time. But in other large religious groups, a minority holds this view. In fact, nearly eight-in-ten white mainline Protestants (78%) say that humans and other living things have evolved over time. Three-quarters of the religiously unaffiliated (76%) and 68% of white non-Hispanic Catholics say the same. About half of Hispanic Catholics (53%) believe that humans have evolved over time, while 31% reject that idea." Broken down by age, respondents 18-29 years old were about 20 percent more likely to accept evolution as were the 65+ age group. The gap between college graduates (72 percent accepted evolution) and people with a high school diploma or less (51 percent accepted evolution) was also fairly pronounced. The Pew survey sampled 1,983 respondents, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. As , the issue of evolution — in particular in states where there have been high-profile fights over how it is presented in public school classrooms — has increasingly placed members of the scientific community at odds with politicians and local school boards. http://tinyurl.com/qzp8llt Since "the beginning of time."

The overall percentage of Americans who say "humans and other living things evolved over time" (60 percent) versus those who believe "humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time" (33 percent) is about the same as it was in a similar poll four years ago. But the political gap has widened substantially. In 2009, 54 percent of Republicans said they accepted the theory of evolution as true, compared with 64 percent of Democrats. But in the intervening years, opinions appear to have evolved: In the latest poll, nearly half of Republicans (48 percent) believed in a static view of human and animal origins, while just 30 percent of Democrats expressed that point of view. Independents tracked closely with the breakdown for Democrats. "The gap is coming from the Republicans, where fewer are now saying that humans have evolved over time," says Cary Funk, a Pew senior researcher who conducted the analysis, . Nearly a quarter (24 percent) of those surveyed by Pew said they believed that a "supreme being guided evolution for the purpose of creating humans and other life in the form it exists today." According to Pew: "A majority of white evangelical Protestants (64%) and half of black Protestants (50%) say that humans have existed in their present form since the beginning of time. But in other large religious groups, a minority holds this view. In fact, nearly eight-in-ten white mainline Protestants (78%) say that humans and other living things have evolved over time. Three-quarters of the religiously unaffiliated (76%) and 68% of white non-Hispanic Catholics say the same. About half of Hispanic Catholics (53%) believe that humans have evolved over time, while 31% reject that idea." Broken down by age, respondents 18-29 years old were about 20 percent more likely to accept evolution as were the 65+ age group. The gap between college graduates (72 percent accepted evolution) and people with a high school diploma or less (51 percent accepted evolution) was also fairly pronounced. The Pew survey sampled 1,983 respondents, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Nearly a quarter (24 percent) of those surveyed by Pew said they believed that a "supreme being guided evolution for the purpose of creating humans and other life in the form it exists today." According to Pew: "A majority of white evangelical Protestants (64%) and half of black Protestants (50%) say that humans have existed in their present form since the beginning of time. But in other large religious groups, a minority holds this view. In fact, nearly eight-in-ten white mainline Protestants (78%) say that humans and other living things have evolved over time. Three-quarters of the religiously unaffiliated (76%) and 68% of white non-Hispanic Catholics say the same. About half of Hispanic Catholics (53%) believe that humans have evolved over time, while 31% reject that idea." Broken down by age, respondents 18-29 years old were about 20 percent more likely to accept evolution as were the 65+ age group. The gap between college graduates (72 percent accepted evolution) and people with a high school diploma or less (51 percent accepted evolution) was also fairly pronounced. The Pew survey sampled 1,983 respondents, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. As , the issue of evolution ? in particular in states where there have been high-profile fights over how it is presented in public school classrooms ? has increasingly placed members of the scientific community at odds with politicians and local school boards. http://tinyurl.com/qzp8llt Since "the beginning of time." Conservatives belief man and dinosaurs walked the earth together, and that "The Flintstones" was the first reality show. What does any of that have to do with Dr. Melissa Harris Perry and her liberal panel yukking it up and high-fiving each other about Mitt Romney's son adopting an African-American baby? Nothing and...everything. :) I think you were just sharing my soapbox. I for one don't give a hoot who believes what. I also don't care if schools teach the *theories* of evolution or the *theories* of creationism. Both exist in our society ... as your Pew survey points out, so why suppress one at the expense of the other? As long as they are presented as *theories* and not necessarily as proven fact by the school's curriculum, it seems to me that it only broadens a person's education. Leave the final brainwashing to the liberal professors in liberal arts college programs. "Creationism" is based on religion and teaching of religious beliefs has no place in the public schools. Also, there is *no* scientific evidence or proof for religious beliefs. Might as well have a class extolling the virtues of superstition. There is plenty of scientifically valid proof for evolution. It matters what people believe. If you have a huge percentage of the population believing superstition and belittling science, you end up with a stupid society, which is sort of what we have now in 'Merika. You contradict yourself. "It matters what people believe", yet if a large percentage of the population believes something that you don't buy, you want it banned from being discussed in school. I am not advocating the actual teaching or preaching of creationism in public schools, but rather the fact that in our society there are many who believe in it. Just teach the facts. Most people believe in evolution but there are many who believe otherwise. Many people used to believe that slavery was ok. Does that mean that those of us who think and thought it was an abomination should give those who believe in slavery a pass? I don't think so. I think it behooves to stamp out stupidity and superstition in society when and where we can. There are still people in this world who believe slavery is ok. The emancipation proclamation didn't solve the slavery issue outside of the USA. There's a whole group of Muslims who feel that way about females. But, that's OK to some here. For example: "Fear of poverty keeps many Muslim women locked in bad marriages, as does the prospect of losing their children. Typically, fathers win custody of boys over the age of six and girls after the onset of puberty. Maryam, an Iranian woman, says she has stayed married for 20 years to a philandering opium addict she does not love because she fears losing guardianship of her teenage daughter. "Islam supposedly gives me the right to divorce," she says. "But what about my rights afterward?" Women's rights are compromised further by a section in the Koran, sura 4:34, that has been interpreted to say that men have "pre-eminence" over women or that they are "overseers" of women. The verse goes on to say that the husband of an insubordinate wife should first admonish her, then leave her to sleep alone and finally beat her. Wife beating is so prevalent in the Muslim world that social workers who assist battered women in Egypt, for example, spend much of their time trying to convince victims that their husbands' violent acts are unacceptable."

The overall percentage of Americans who say "humans and other living things evolved over time" (60 percent) versus those who believe "humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time" (33 percent) is about the same as it was in a similar poll four years ago. But the political gap has widened substantially. In 2009, 54 percent of Republicans said they accepted the theory of evolution as true, compared with 64 percent of Democrats. But in the intervening years, opinions appear to have evolved: In the latest poll, nearly half of Republicans (48 percent) believed in a static view of human and animal origins, while just 30 percent of Democrats expressed that point of view. Independents tracked closely with the breakdown for Democrats.

You are trying to justify superstition, and you can easily do it among religious conservatives, because many of them believe that sort of thing, just as they believe "the bible" was divinely written and is the word of god, even though anyone with a brain and a read of history knows that isn't the case...oh, and those Matthew, Mark, Luke and John "books"? They weren't written by any of those four guys. Sorry. If there was (and is) no moral justification for slavery, then it and it's history should not be taught in school, just like any discussion or recognition to creationism theories according to your logic. I am not saying to preach it. I am saying that it should not be ignored as part of someones general education of the influences on society. It's a social awareness issue, not a course in how we got here. I'm not suggesting that teaching about slavery should be ignored in the public schools. Facts about it and its evils should be taught. Creationism is religion and shouldn't be taught as fact or reality. The only reality about it is that some people believe in it. I have no objection to it being included as part of a course on comparative religions in public high schools, so long as that course avoids advocacy of any particular religious beliefs. And of course, the course should include material for study and discussion on agnosticism and atheism, too. Hell, back in the dark ages of junior high, the eighth grade, I did a paper and presented on how Greek mythology evolved into Roman mythology. I didn't expert that anyone would convert, nor did I advocate for either the Greek or the Roman beliefs. When we were in junior or even senior high school, the world wasn't so uptight about what we were exposed to in school. Heck, if we were about to take a test we were unprepared for we could even pray for help. I see absolutely no reason that a class in social sciences cannot discuss the different belief systems from a historical point of view. One over another should not be emphasized or encouraged. Let people learn as much as they can and make up their own minds. You can still pray for help as an individual in a public school. When I was in grammar school we stopped saying the "pledge of allegiance" right after it was "modified" to include the "under god" bull****. There were lots of complaints about including that phrase from lots of parents, so the Board dropped it from the morning exercise. My mother was obliquely involved in that because a number of Republican voters called to complain and either wanted the phrase dropped or the pledge dropped. She was whatever the New Haven term for "ward heeler" was in the party, a minor functionary mostly concerned with GOTV efforts for Republican candidates. -- Religion: together we can find the cure. |

MSNBC 2013 Highlights

I for one don't give a hoot who believes what. I also don't care if schools teach the *theories* of evolution or the *theories* of creationism. Both exist in our society ... as your Pew survey points out, so why suppress one at the expense of the other? As long as they are presented as *theories* and not necessarily as proven fact by the school's curriculum, it seems to me that it only broadens a person's education. It is disappointing to see someone of your technical intellect conflate the meaning of a scientific theory with an ordinary hypothesis. The theory of evolution is the scientific theory the explains the mechanisms of the verified fact of evolution. There *is no* scientific theory of creation. It is untestable and unverifiable. This highlights how poor our media presents scientific/technical issues to the general public. Don't take my word for it, do your own research. |
