With so much gray area, I'm really not willing to embrace evolution, and for personal reasons I feel the most logical choice is deism. What 'appears' to be evidence for evolution is thus far explained only by evolution. I could go into more depth, but I don't feel like hijacking the thread. But I am bothered heavily by the way you oppose deism to evolution. Why could evolution not be the mechanism by which organisms came to be, after your deist god created the universe? Deism is strictly a position on the origin of the universe. Evolution is a theory about how life diversified AFTER it started. Those two have nothing to do with each other. | ||

There are scientific understandings of the origin of the universe, but they're separable from scientific understandings of the origin of life. "God did it" is still a kooky explanation for the universe, but much less kooky than claiming that evolution didn't happen. | ||

And even the origin of life is not covered by evolution, so I'm not sure why you bring that into the discussion. And it's not about what explanation is least 'kooky', but about what explanation best explains and predicts observable reality. | ||

The Tea Party is a movement of people who are tired of our out of control government sending us into an oblivion of debt. It is concerned with losing freedoms and our status in the world. Does that make them crazy? After 4 years of rampant liberalism, we can see how that worked out (complete failure). Bush's compassionate conservatism isn't the answer either as far as I'm concerned. What we need is a strong economy and a revitalization of America. And if the Tea Party can do it, then I am all for it. | ||

When in reality, that would be a plus, because right now your healthcare is in the hands of a bunch of rich assholes in the health insurance industry who are only looking out for 1 thing and 1 thing only: profits. Congrats, you retards. Absolutely ridiculous. Not saying gov't run healthcare wouldn't be a complete clusterfuck also but I think almost anything is better then what we have now. It's better than that... they've tried, "Keep your government hands off my MEDICARE." | ||

For two countries with modernized systems, that's a good separator - who spends less to get roughly similar results. When you're ranking Oman in the top 10 and Saudi Arabia and Colombia above Canada, that's a little silly. | ||
