Really love The Beatles.

So apparently Mitt Romney will talk religion tonight which the left will love sport plays into the anti intellectual.

Anti science stereotype immediate dumps on the right with the lead.

I'm ambivalent about faith it's like alien software to me like high school physics or camera DIS film I -- to inserted into the hard drive of my brain and it just won't -- No offense to those where it works but it's a huge mistake to assume that religion makes it -- and it's even dumber to assume that it makes you anti science.

No one called Carl Sagan stupid when he pondered alien life.

Even if he sounded like one.

To me -- is no different pondering what's outside ourselves but putting faith aside I'm keen on biological clues that -- at our origins.

That's -- -- find proof for example the first question a child asks after can you feed me is where did I come from port you're Dana Perino it's can -- -- issues.

The desire for food or water has an answer 7-Eleven obviously.

But the -- -- I come from question informs where we go next for that question is programmed inside -- chaos cannot explain a desire that's already installed.

We are unique in creation -- that we pondered these larger questions what is the point of existence is there an afterlife will Bob ever pick up the check.

Think that's a go ahead -- -- laughed at -- its attempts to make sense of the world it is no less valid than your own belief system whatever that is.

It's your laughter however that makes you seem unbelievable.

It's.

So Bob you wrote a column yet on religion.

Today in Houston today facility say there are many nights and I did see illegal aliens I mean yeah I mean -- -- I -- guys got my private.

I would deny what a -- in more nights -- possibly imagine.

I talked to the Broward I think LR and and this is that this is a difficulty for I think for for for Mitt Romney the Mormon faith is a complicated thing.

It's tenants are not terribly different in terms of his values things and you but Judeo Christian -- understanding of it is difficult.

I'll tell you I'd be a little careful about how for you go down this road.

I don't think it's a net -- of form but I also think it's something that you need to take the I application have done this myself and I'll -- it but in the end.

The church of latter day saints has as its value structure Judeo Christian bashing but it's a tough for the gets it yet and I -- -- I don't know -- as soon.

But it's important -- it doesn't apply -- sharing it being well who lobbied I think talking about it is that I -- -- thing.

I wanna play I want to play this shot from Paul Ryan in which addresses what Bob is talking about and I think it fairly coherent Cogent manner.

Then -- also go to different churches.

But in any church.

The best kind of preaching.

Is done by example.

Our face come together.

In the same moral creed.

We believe.

That in every life there is goodness.

For every person there is hope.

Each one of us.

Was made for a reason.

Bearing the image and likeness of the lord of life.

Eric -- -- everyone again -- everyone watching listening I think he issue's done now Bob it's a bit it's been touched -- has been addressed Mo Vaughn didn't wanna brings a Mormon isn't -- there is gonna have a -- -- and -- mistake it suits his.

Bring this up.

I don't think he said and I know a lot of people are saying should he shouldn't -- I'm a little bit offended that people under mr.

hope and change would somehow have to explain their faith something it's so.

Jealously protected them by the First Amendment but in -- defense quickly he did pick up the tab the other -- hotel bar.

Guys were valued and I -- that -- rhetoric.

I'm pat pat how will this play with the -- did that don't the media seat reverence or not I had an authority -- I'd say but he doesn't bring it up all the headlines like and he didn't bring it -- it definitely does bring another epic movie -- back it up anything else you know Broadway four years ago when we're talking about a very.

Different you know this yeah this argument -- JFK don't forget up and they and they said the same thing in the media won't want to -- For -- if you don't tires we got a call pop.
