McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the the-one-upping-continues dept.

Many readers have written to tell us about McCain's choice of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his VP choice. "Palin, 44, a self-described 'hockey mom,' is a conservative first-term governor of Alaska with strong anti-abortion views, a record of reform and fiscal conservatism and an outsider's perspective on Washington. [...] If elected, Palin would be the first woman US vice president, adding another historic element to a presidential race that has been filled with firsts. Obama, 47, is the first black nominee of a major US political party. The choice of a vice president rarely has a major impact on the presidential race. Palin will meet Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in a debate in October."

    Maybe she will will become a living palindrome?

    "Palin, 44, a self-described "hockey mom,"

    ""Mom hockey", described-self, 44, Palin..."

    Imagine if she starts doing palindromes and these rub off on McPai, um, McCain, and he starts slipping up (if he wins) at the podium.

    "Thank you, my friends" could become "Friends, my you thank", and then Palin does a "Your planet, WELcome", and McCain (imitating Bones), says, "I believe that's MY line, stranger", and Palin says "Stranger, line MY, that's believe I..."

    That would be one mixed-up administration. Real and present danger, danger present and real...

    But there can be pieces of evidence discovered by science that strengthen the case for a designer/creator. If you find things that seem to imply design, then there's nothing wrong with seeing that as scientific evidence for a designer (noting that evidence does not equal proof).

    Of course the purely naturalistic zealots will have none of that and will summarily dismiss any such nuggets of evidence.

    That is why we need to show the evidence as it really is, and teach critical thinking skills.
