And this Congressman is on the House Science Committee (along with Todd Akin)!
Georgia GOP Representative Paul Broun:
“God’s word is true. I’ve come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the big bangtheory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell,” said Broun, who is an MD. “It’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”
“You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I’ve found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I don’t believe that the earth’s but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them. That’s what the Bible says.”
Or, as Elaine May said in one of her “Nichols & May” routines, “That MAM is a doctor!”
And what can we all take from this video? beware what you learn from a speaker who stands in front of a wall covered with deer heads.
I’d love to see more about his background including his 4 wives….and how he substituted religion for his addiction instead of going thru a balanced rehabilitation program for his debilitation alcoholism. It has been well known for a long time that those who substitute one addiction for another, especially using religion without gaining personal understanding of their addiction are likely to fall prey to another expression of addictive personality….as Broun so clearly demonstrates.
