Is Hillary ill advized in trying to provide so called 'evidense for evolution'?

Question

In a New York TImes interview Hillary cites resistance to bacteria as evidence for evolution. Weak as that argument is does this dissmissively begs the question whether God deigned an immune system

Answer 1

I think Hillary is ill advised to even speak in public but I also think the same thing about President Bush, but that is just me.

Evidently Hilliary only read the foot notes on the theory of evolution but she can read, that would be an improvement.

Answer 2

At least she isn't a fundy. And for evidence of an evolving immune system look at the 1st contacts between Europeans and American natives, the carnage brought about because the latter had no defense against old world diseases. Obviously the European gene pool had evolved defenses against them that the original American population had not had the opportunity to acquire.

Answer 3

Tell me how anything changing its resistance to natural forces against it's growth as a species in it's own environment is not a sign of evolution? Adaptation is evolution....The Earth is older than 10,000 years do we at least agree on that? I do agree that you need a few more years of basic English lessons...

Answer 4

No, Christians should already know that her and Bill are not Christians. Plus, there are so many weak Christians, that deny the Bible and support evolution, I don't think it will make a difference. It is ill advised for the republicans to nominate Giuliani or Romney if they expect to get the Christian vote out. If it wasnt for the nomination of judges, I wouldnt vote at all.

Answer 5

I'm no fan of Hillary. But in this case, she is correct. Evolving bacteria, specifically staphylococcus aureus is evolving to become resistant to methicillin. Hence we have the acronym MRSA that means methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.

That is why we constantly need to discover newer generations of antibiotics to kill these bugs.

Answer 6

The correct spellings are advised, evidence, dismissively and deigned means "To do something reluctantly and in a way that shows that one considers the matter hardly important or beneath one's dignity." Why would God do something reluctantly or that He felt was beneath His dignity.
Before trying to dismiss scientific theories that you obviously know nothing about, you should learn to spell and the meaning of words.

Answer 7

No. If your " magic man " designed our immune system, he made it look exactly as it were evolved. Any sixth rate engineer could have done a better job. Natural selection works with what it has on hand. You obviously do not understand the immune system.

Answer 8

Unfortunately, given the shocking level of acceptance of creation mythology in the US, it will probably cost her.

Myself, in a country that's seriously assessing its vulnerability to bioterrorism, I'd prefer a leader who demonstrated at least a basic high school education in the fundamentals of disease.

Answer 9

Considering that evolution is a proven scientific theory, she's absolutely correct.

Note and understand: there is no debate on evolution, it is just educating people that have no clue what "proven scientific theory" means - think theory of relativity or gravity.

Answer 10

No one in the scientific world thinks that evolution is a myth, it's a fact that it exists and has already been proven. The ongoing dabate is a creation/evolution debate as to the origin of life.

I'm not sure what your question is here.
