Anyone notice Sarah Palin believes in fossil fuels but not necessarily in fossils

Creationist Sarah and the politics of extinction

Sarah Palin believes in fossil fuels but not necessarily in fossils. This is no trivial matter. Of all the intense scrutiny Palin has faced in this campaign - not least on the matter of her wardrobe - nobody in America seemed much interested in asking her the dinosaur question.

That is: do you believe, or have you ever believed, that the world was created in the past 5000 or 10,000 years and that dinosaurs roamed the planet alongside humans?

Palin's political extinction may be only days away but somebody really should have asked this question of the woman who has advocated the discussion of creationism in the classroom; the woman who might have been a heartbeat from the presidency; the woman whom John McCain described as being among the "foremost experts in this nation on energy issues".

Well, we know that Palin believes in oil, especially the stuff she wants drilled in Alaska. But does the energy expert know where oil comes from? Does Palin, the daughter of a science teacher, know that the tiger in her tank is more likely a dinosaur - fossilised matter dating back a little further than 10,000 years? Add another 300 million years and she'd be getting warm.

1. Kinda like a Muslim sitting in a Christian church for 20 years.

2. Oh, she probably believes in fossils

She believes Satan strategically placed fossils and dinosaur bones where they'd be found by secular humanists, who would in turn use this planted evidence to convince the godless heathens that evolution had occurred.

:crazy:

3. An interesting thought

Some wingnuts actually believe that oil is being produced by the earth still, too. They actually think that it won't be depleted if used at the rate we use it now. Maybe they think God just generates it.

If Phailin's father was a science teacher, he didn't do a very good job!

6. Given her father likes to

'borrow' family members hunting tags so he can blow animals away makes me think he's a shitty science teacher.

4. I never stopped and thought about it like that

:).. good grief your right.. the woman is promoting drilling for something she does not believe exists> Only in the republican party can you be that clueless and run for Veep

7. God created oil. The human theory of oil from fossils is just that: "a theory."

Folks can leverage every argument that way: God created X, and the theory that X came from some where else is wrong. When one accepts that "God created X" as an axiom, no proof can sway them.

8. Ya, and God created most of the oil under the Muslims.

Clearly a sign of some sort.
