SMOKING DOESN'T KILL, TEACH THE CONTROVERSY, AND MORE QUOTES FROM THE CANDIDATEhttp://www.popsci.com/top-5-worst-mike-pence-quotes-on-science
"Mike Pence, the putative next vice president of the United States, does not believe in evolution, thinks smoking doesnt kill, would like creationism taught in public schools, and doesnt think scientists agree climate change is happening.
Well learn a lot more about Donald Trumps newly minted running mate in the coming days, but the Indiana governor is already on record as sharing some of the most easily refuted claims of the GOPs anti-science wing. Some of his more remarkable lines come from a 2009 interview with Chris Matthews, the bombastic host of Hardball. Others are taken from previous statements made during his campaigns for Congress, or other interviews hes done over the years.
Heres a selection.

Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesnt kill.

Pence graduated from Columbus North High School in 1977. He earned a B.A. in History from Hanover College in 1981 and a J.D. from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1986. While at Hanover, Pence joined the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, serving as his chapter's president.
he should demand they refund his tuition.

(135,958 posts)7. critical thinking isn't required to acknowledge that smoke continually inhaled is bad for you

Pence to stop citing their school in his resume. Probably not the law school since everyone knows lawyer's lie for expediency.
Please please be a debate question with a follow up.

Roll back rights for LGBT citizens, censor internet porn, teach the bible as science...
Bleh.
