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

[Marener]

Let's see how much you actually hold to scientific principles.

How many genders are there?

Define gender first. Defining your question is the first step in the scientific process.

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.​

An ark replica with dinosaurs "is one way to bring people to this recognition ... that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Mike Johnson said.

The Democrats think giving more money to poor people for not working makes the economy stronger. You think printing more money makes us richer. That's way more delusional than what Mike Johnson thinks happened before he was born. The right can be disturbing with their religious views, but nothing like the left is downright scary with yours. To us politics is politics. To you it's a religion

Entitlement and aid programs have bipartisan support. I'm sure the rest of your post was just as worthless as the first sentence.

Such hostility. Typical of the Asshole Atheist.

Just pray the hostility away

Yet you couldn't argue that if your life depended on it.

I sure would. I don't believe the earth is 6K years old, but clearly the theory of evolution as presented is total bull crap

 

[Marener]

LOL, did you even think about what you posted.

They had Iron lungs in the 1800;s. X-rays were in use by 1905 or so, vaccines go back even further.

Anti-biotics would be just as useless then as now on viral infections.

So all the school shutdowns and extended closures weren't overkill even after we found out kids were basically unharmed by COVID unless they had existing conditions?

Iron lungs are used for paralyzed diaphragms from polio, not for parenchymal lung disease like influenza. Dope.

Antibiotics are very useful because bacterial superinfections on influenza pneumonias are both common and deadly. Dope.

Vaccines back then utilized inoculation with similar naturally occurring viruses. That didn’t exist for influenza like it does now. Dope.

Closing schools stops community spread. Kids bringing home COVID would harm the adults they were around. Dope.

No, we don’t have to consider Jim Bob’s opinion with the same value as a subject matter expert.

The idea that we do is absurd.

When it comes to implementing, everyone's opinion counts, that's the nature of a free society.

From the gnome who thinks Republican/Democrat is the entire world representing everyone and all views. You're a retard, Scooby

Yep. Scientists have been working and developing evolutionary theory for over a century but Jim Bob here doesnt think it’s right so we have to treat his opinion as equal.

You keep trying to change the topic to policy, because you lost the argument and have nothing to reply with.

And you couldn't argue that if your life depended on it.

I sure would, and I'd laugh at your body laying on the ground for believing the Democrat party is a religious group who speaks for God

All excuses, you made a blanket statement, got called out for it, and now are trying to rationalize it, because you are too ignorant of technology's history.

Closing schools for as long as they were did more harm than help, once again showing your limit of only counting COVID as a bad thing, and ignoring all the other stuff like educational loss and economic loss.

Policy is what were are concerned about. You idiots use "science" like some pagan talisman to deflect any discussion or argument on why we should be doing a given thing.

You confused yourself.

You couldn't make an argument against evolution if your life depended on it. Because you don't know anything about it.

You've already failed the test, moron.

So are we.

A man with the mind of a child who wants to make abortion and gay love illegal speaks right to policy.

Covid blew the crap that Democrats give a shit about "science" out of the water if there was anyone stupid enough to still believe they were when it started

1st. don't co-mingle abortion and SSM. Most people don't care what you do behind closed doors. The current fight is about forced acceptance or even endorsement vs. tolerance.

Abortion is a unique situation because another life is involved.

Who wants to do that? No one, fucking lying piece of shit. Now go watch men win women's sporting events, Archie
