Cartoons are better science sources than conservative experts



Cartoons are better science sources than conservative experts
byDarkSyde DailyKos

Above is a clip from a cartoon on Comedy Central that mentions evolution, below are some words on the same subject from one of the leading intellectual lights of the modern conservative movement. Which one is more trustworthy?

For me, the plausibility of evolution is further strained by Darwin's assertion that within fifty to one hundred years of his time, scientists would become geologically sophisticated enough to find the fossil remains of the entire evolutionary tree in an unequivocal step-by-step progression of life from amoeba to man—including all of the intermediate species. Of course that was 150 years ago, and there is still no such evidence.


It's not even close; the words of Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson lose out to Futurama in a first round knock-out.

I only watched about 30 seconds because not being able to read any of the signs was too annoying.
