US House Science Committee Member: "Evolution Is a Lie From Hell"

Quote:
Representative Paul Broun (Georgia Republican) said that evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory are 'lies straight from the pit of hell' meant to convince people that they do not need a savior. It would not be quite as shocking if Broun did not sit on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.


I don't know whether to :lmao: or :wall:
Why would a politician like that be put into a senior position associated with science when he is clearly an uneducated, stupid nutjob? You Americans have got some bat-shit crazy politicians.

Quote:
Broun also said that he believes the Earth is about 9,000 years old and that it was made in six days.

Exactly what I thought when I opened this thread.

For symmetry reasons, I feel that a few atheists & scientists should be promoted to cardinal (or the equivalent in other branches of myth-craft).

Brings back memories from Armageddon:

Unfortunately, the real world is stranger than fiction in this case.

And he's a doctor.

Where do these guys come from, anyway? Is there some sort of *factory* in the US mass producing Rick Santorums?



Oh, wait... religious homeschooling...
