It changes my view of them, but I can certainly still enjoy their work.
Mostly the same for me. I think it's dumb that Jason Lee is a big scientologist, but it doesn't stop me from loving My Name is Earl.
It's certainly not as important with actors, and even less so with musicians (unless they're religious).

The only real issue I have with a public figure's political views is when they're writers or journalists.
when the dude is a creationist.

I mean, if you support someone who denies basic scientific facts, whatever. But I wouldn't want that person running my country.

What does the url say? Theory

Theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world. Key word, explanation. Many theories over the years have been disproved. We don't teach the geocentric theory because we have confirmed through space exploration, telescopes, and astronomy that the heliocentric theory is correct

First off, evolution is the observation; natural selection is the theory.

Secondly, do you even know what a theory is? You're treating it as a synonym for "hypothesis". The theory of evolution via natural selection is about as solid as you'll find.

Well I was at first surprised that my favourite artist (Beck) was a Scientologist, but as long as his music stays good I really don't care.

Lol no. Evolution and natural selection are different. Creationists, such as myself, do accept natural selection because that is observable. A dog that gives birth to a litter of puppies and one puppy is weak and can't feed and so it dies, that's natural selection in motion on a day-to-day basis

Evolution is far different than natural selection as it's the theory that living things (species) are related to one another through common ancestry from earlier forms that differed from them. Darwin called this “descent with modification,” and it is still the best definition of evolution we can use, especially with members of the general public and with young learners

I know what a theory is. A theory is essentially a hypothesis that has gone through experimentation is a generally agreed consensus of other scientists. A hypothesis is a statement of a possible explanation for some natural phenomenon

You have got natural selection and evolution exactly backwards.

We can, and have, observed alterations and genetic similarities between species. We have observed evolution which led us to develop the theory of natural selection. What you're talking about is just survival of the fittest, which is facile.

There'd be no point to natural selection if it didn't facilitate the process of evolution. By accepting natural selection, that is where you admit all species are essentially related to each other (which is pretty much beyond doubt).

No, I don't have it backwards. I'm in Biology this semester and I know damn well enough which is which

Natural selection is in many parts survival of the fittest. My example perfectly displayed such. And evolution is divided between mico and macro. We have not observed macro, but have observed micro which is known as adaptation; take the moths in Britain that changed.

Natural selection just means selection of animals based on their dominance and strength. That in no way proves evolution, macro to be specific, because it's the idea all living things have descended from one common ancestor

Not dodging and not misunderstanding. I live in America. Door lives in America. I can only vote for candidates that run in America. America has a Constitution that guarantees gun ownership

The fact you're taking biology doesn't count for shit when micro- and macro-evolution are identical processes looked at from a different temporal frame.

So, unless you want to try and pedal the idea that the Earth is 10,000 years old, there's really nothing more I have to say considering your astounding deficit in this area.

The point isn't whether or not they end up getting into office, it's about this person's opinions. Let's assume they aren't even running for office.

Except he quite implicitly did when he said this person wants a total ban on guns. You still haven't given a clear answer.

Would you, or would you not, support an individual who agreed with absolutely everything you say except on the issue of guns, wherein they want a total ban?
