http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/10/rep-paul-broun-r-ga-evolution-big-bang-lies-straight-from-the-pit-of-hell.phpI said it before and I'll say it again: Creationists = Crackpots.
All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell, Broun said. And its lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.
According to Broun, the scientific plot was primarily concerned with hiding the true age of the Earth. Broun serves on the House Science Committee, which came under scrutiny recently after another one of its Republican members, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), suggested that victims of legitimate rape have unnamed biological defenses against pregnancy.
You see, there are a lot of scientific data that Ive found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth, he said. I dont believe that the Earths but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them. Thats what the Bible says.

(13,029 posts)no one has ever posted here that militant atheists are just as bad as militant fundamentalist Christians? I hope you're not saying that, because if you were, you'd be a bigger damned liar than Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan put together. Please tell us you're not saying that. I'd HATE to have to call you a bigger damned liar than Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan put together

a poorly executed attempt at that.
on edit: you need to have a sense of humor when dealing with militant atheists!

(11,735 posts)Are you sure?
I forgot to use the sarcasm thingy. Forgot who I was dealing with because it appears you took my post literally.
