Evolution a lie from the pit of hell

Sometimes I think they should all be voted out.

Georgia Rep. Paul Broun said in videotaped remarks 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. Broun, a medical doctor, is running for re-election in November unopposed by Democrats.

Broun also said that he believes the Earth is about 9,000 years old and that it was made in six days. Those beliefs are held by fundamentalist Christians who believe the creation accounts in the Bible to be literally true.

He sits on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.

Maybe he should sit on a different committee.

I saw this on the news on my home page.

Make it a poll on PP and see what you get... JD

It could be an eye opener...or not.

We have our idiots, too. What can you do?

I don't know what embryology is,,,but he sounds like a smart man. So the guy actually believes the bible, so do I . I thinks its silly to believe in evolution and I came to that conclusion going through the subject in college. It is a religion unto those who believe it. There is way more proof of God than there is of evolution and the big bang you know. And he is correct about his assumption. Evolution is junk science We need more critical thinkers like him

Believe what you wish but don't expect many to take you seriously.

My Dad’s second wife. A wonderful, learned, deeply religious individual, who was for a time a Jehovahs witness. Before she moved past them. Used to comment about us, the human race. “Only we humans could be so egotistical and filled with self pride to think that a “Day” for God. Was the same mere 24 hours that our ever so tiny speck of a planet takes, to spin once on it’s axis.” And also noted that it was probably impossible for our minds to even grasp a “Day” of Gods. While we readily accept U.S. to metric conversions for weights and volume and Fahrenheit to Celsius for temperature. So many are ROCK SOLID SURE God wears a Timex and has a Labrador retriever calendar on his desk to mark the passing of time EXACTLY as we do here on Earth.
It’s kinda silly, in my opinion.

What's silly is to deny Natural Sciences. If the Arab and Persian world had more of it they wouldn't be living in the 8th Century.

actually I do take Pete and those that consider themselves believers seriously...

I have been attending a non denomenational church for about six weeks and it has re introduced me to the Christian upbringing that I was raised in...but more importantly it has taught me to be a little more tolerant of people of different faiths and also of those that choose to be either agnostic or atheist

What I cant understand is why people who dont practice or believe in religion cant seem to respect those who do and just move along and let them practice their form of worship...the only exception may be the whack jobs from the Westboro church who are a whole different subject of their own

By your post you do not believe in god. That is your right as mine is to believe in god. Your argument is the same old argument put forth by all non believers.

Believing in god is from the heart. It has nothing to do with science. It can not be proven scientifically nor does it need to be proven. For it is our right to believe in what ever we wish to believe in as is your right to not believe.

What bothers me about non believers (minority) is their use of the law to stop believers (majority) from showing their faith.

Just a rant
