Our New Speaker Thinks the Earth is 6,000 Years Old

[martybegan]

Marty, your beliefs are not "facts". Your belief that the scientists are wrong, has no basis in anything that remotely resembles a "fact".

Science isn't absolute but Flat Earthers like you have existed since the dawn of time. Galileo was found guilty of heresy for publishing a paper that said the Earth is round and the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun. The Catholic Church tried him because the Church taught that the Earth is the centre of the Universe, and that Sun, Moon and Planets all revolve around the Earth.

In the 50's, 60's and 70's, I'll bet you smoked cigarettes because the scientists got that one wrong too.

You equate theory with fact.

Flat earth can be disproven by actual verifiable data, circumnavigation, orbital photography.

 

[Frankenstein]

RIght, LOL.

Every one of your old earth theories is flawed

 

[Dragonlady]

It's not what I believe, its what evidence is presented and how it is presented.

I am not a creationist, but I don't think they have more impact than say a Trans advocate trying to make it legal to mutilate and drug children.

And there you would be wrong - even considering that trans advocates are NOT trying to make it legal to "mutilate children". As for drugging children, have you never heard of ADHD??? American children are subjected to more mind altering drugs than any children in the world.

Children are being taught Creationism and not science in "Christian Schools". The USA is falling behind other First World countries in their education education scores.

Right wing theocrats are increasingly taking over school boards and attempting to influence secular education. Of course right wing theocrats will tell you that "God chose them to lead". How come God is never involved when a Democrat is elected? When did God become a registered Republican????

ADHD drugs try to fix a defective situation. Drugging trans kids tries to stop or ruin a normal natural process. And kids under 16 have gotten surgeries, so stop denying it.

Funny you have an issue about creationism and not how they are taught blowing another guy is normal.

It's a reaction to the overwhelming leftist presence on school boards as well as the lefts celebration of deviance.

People ignore verifiable facts all the time. Just say that the facts come from biased organizations and that you don’t believe them.

People pretend opinions and theories are facts, and that mostly comes from the left.

Well, this is reassuring.

The new Speaker appears to believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old.

Before arriving in Washington less than a decade ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a deeply religious Christian, was a legal crusader associated with a fringe evangelical movement called “young Earth creationism,” based on a literal reading of the Bible’s Book of Genesis that posits the Earth is only several thousand years old.​

​

In the mere hours since Johnson was elected speaker Wednesday, he hadn’t had to address his views on creationism and evolution. But his close ties to a leader of the creationist movement and his past legal work — on behalf of the Ark Encounter creationist theme park, where children can learn that dinosaurs were passengers on Noah’s Ark — seem to suggest that he’s also personally aligned with these beliefs.​

“The Ark Encounter is one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Johnson said in a 2021 interview with Ark Encounter founder Ken Ham while guest-hosting the radio showof Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, an evangelical activist group.​

at least his party isn't anti semitic like yours or soros funded

Conservatives pretend facts are opinions because they only believe what they want to believe.

Your claim that the earth is flat could easily be turned into a theory and opinion using the conservative playbook.

NASA is a left wing biased organization. You can’t believe anything they say.

 

[hadit]

Just because someone is a religious man doesn't make them a "theocrat"

It does to the Christophobes that are abjectly terrified whenever a person of faith catches their attention.

 

[hadit]

Repubs had the votes to keep McCarthy as Speaker if they so desired. The Crazy 8 are the reason he was sacked and the MAGAnuts are the reason we now have a raging evangelical running the House. Until he does something Trump doesn't like that is.

Be sure to let us know when he does something that absolutely terrifies you.

By definition, a theory is not a fact. But man made climate change isn't a "theory", and it's supported by strong evidence. Climate change deniers are bought and paid for by oil producers, and there is no data backing up their claims. Their science is no better than the science bought and paid for by the tobacco industry, that told you cigarettes don't harm humans. Which you probably believed too.

"Flat earth can be disproven by actual verifiable data, circumnavigation, orbital photography."

None of which existed at the time of Gallileo. The idea that the Earth was round, was simply a theory that a few crackpot scientists came up with. And establish "facts" were taken from the "experts" in the Catholic Church, who told them that the Earth was flat, and it's the centre of the Universe - neither of which they they had any actual evidence of.

You need to get out and meet real people.

He is also against Ukraine.

I think he is potentially much more dangerous than Trump, because he doesn't have the demeanor/gives the impression of a buffoon and madman when he speaks.

When have I ever claimed the earth is flat?

NASA has been overtaken by the left just as the rest of the Federal Executive bureaucracy has.

That opinion is backed up by tallies of political donations made by the people who make up said bureaucracy.

 

[DBA]

A true theocrat, that close to the Oval Office.

Evidently we haven't learned from the Middle East.

I could have sworn the man you voted for, who is currently the President of the entire country, claims to be a Catholic. I guess you believe that is just a load of crap, which is quite possible.

And Biden thought we have 58 states. Why not just wait and look at Johnson's results, I'm betting he will come up big like Trump did. Promises made promises kept. MAGA.

it is a theory, not a fact. Pretending otherwise is retarded.

At the time the math was the disproving mechanism, but said math was only understood at the time by a handful of people. Thus it was more theory than fact.

We now have hard evidence of the fact of Heliocentrism.

 

[Nostra]

The fact that the Earth is far, far older than people like the speaker wants to believe is a fact.




I was not speaking on his beliefs on Creationism. Personally the theories aren't all that important to me either way.

Where is the quote by the speaker saying earth is only 6000 years old?

So far, I have not seen one.

 

[Nostra]

Canada has a much higher personal freedom ratings in the United States does. Before you start calling another country are “fascists shit hole” you’d better look at why the USA cannot attract white Eurooean immigrants.

The only people who call Canada a “fascist shit hole” are unemployed MAGA Cult FuckBois like you.

All of you have demonstrated in spades that you don’t have the first clue or understanding of the term “fascist”. That is, of course, in addition to being dumb enough to believe the lies of Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

One one country of the two lock people up and seize their property for disagreeing with the cuck leader, Simp.

That would be KKKanada.

 

[Arlette]

What kinda idiot thinks the earth is 6,000 years old?
