compassion people empathy
Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place- science leads you to killing people.
progress darwinism
And there hasn't been much progress in Darwinism since [the life of Darwin].
book reading men
[I did] Some [reading to prep for Expelled]. I read one book cover to cover, From Darwin to Hitler , and that was a very interesting book--one of these rare books I wish had been even longer. It's about how Darwin 's theory--supposedly concocted by this mild-mannered saintly man, with a flowing white beard like Santa Claus--led to the murder of millions of innocent people.
believe america asks
Neo-Darwinists ask us to believe in things not seen. We're not supposed to have an established religion in America, but we do, and it's called Darwinism .
people rich exception
People getting rich in a free society in general - with some scammy exceptions, which are rare - makes everyone else richer, too.
country hard-work goal
It isn't the rich people's fault that poor people are poor. Poor people who get an education and work hard in this country will stop being poor. That should be the goal for all poor people everywhere.
running scared
I am scared of running out of money.
law matter physics
Darwinism doesn't explain where gravity comes from. It doesn't explain where thermodynamics comes from. It doesn't explain where the laws of physics come from. It doesn't explain where matter comes from.
wind people black
The poor black people in it make the black people in Gone With the Wind look like Malcolm X.
sparks congress court
Could Congress really do its work if it held its sessions by teleconferencing? Could the Supreme Court? Nothing can replace the spark of intelligence that travels from person to person at meetings.
war iran korea
If Iran and North Korea, by some horrible, devilish, nightmarish scenario, got together and went to war at the same time, one against Saudi Arabia and one against South Korea, I don't know what we would do about that. I don't know that we could stop them short of using nuclear weapons.
wall smart thinking
I don't think Wall Street people in general are smart. I think that's one of the biggest myths in American lore. They're tough, aggressive, greedy, quick thinking but I don't think they're particularly smart at all.
occupation interest thankless
Politics is a thankless occupation; I have no interest in it at all.
community causes gone
The scientific community says that if you even mention God as causes of anything scientific, you're gone.
