FATS DOESN'T UNDERSTAND BIOLOGY

Rep. Mike Pence was on Hardball and was asked his opinion of evolution. Here's his answer:
PENCE: Uh, do I believe in evolution? I embrace the view that God created the Heavens and the Earth, the Seas and all that’s in them. The means that he used to do that, I can’t say, but I do believe in that fundamental truth.

Pence did not state what is the obvious scientific truth: evolution is a fact. Fats Limbaugh decided today to come to Pence's defense and merely exposed once again his deep ignorance:
Now, had I been on the program, this is an easy answer. Matthews' question: "You want to educate the American peep about science and its relevance. Do you believe in evolution?"

"Yeah. I believe in evolution."

"Oh, you do? We got a Republican believes in evolution!"

"Yeah, wait, Chris! Wait, though! It can't explain creation. I mean, we've got both. Where did it come from, Chris? Don't give me the Big Bang. Don't give me evolution for the Big Bang. Where did this all come from, what was it before it was what it is? Certainly things evolve. There's no question. There's no denying it. But evolution does not explain creation."

That's right, Rush, evolution does not explain creation but that's because it's not the job of biology to do so.
