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

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Here's a fun fact, I never said that.

You sure did. Liar.

But now you have retracted. That's good. Now you admit the theory of evolution is true.

 

[Nostra]

So are you saying he doesn't believe that?

I don’t read minds.

Gotta quote?

Note you didn't provide a quote of me saying the earth is 6,000 years old because you are a big fack fucking liar and now everyone knows it

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I don’t read minds.

Gotta quote?

You don't have to read minds. You just read up on his beliefs. We also don't need a quite of him saying Jesus is the Savior, to know he believes it.

*because I didn't claim you believe that

You are all over the place. Calm down. Focus.

Fort Fun Indiana doesn't provide quotes, they prove he's lying

 

[Nostra]

You don't have to read minds. You just read up on his beliefs. We also don't need a quite of him saying Jesus is the Savior, to know he believes it.

So you have no quote, just Dimwinger mind reading.

Got it.

*because I didn't claim you believe that

You are all over the place. Calm down. Focus.

You change stories more often than an elevator operator.

Show a quote for whatever you are claiming I said now. No, I don't believe you know what I think better than I do

 

[kaz]

Nobody wants to hear a grown man whine. I promise.

Right, we all just wanted to hear a grown man cry. Pucker up there baby doll

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You change stories more often than an elevator operator.

Show a quote for whatever you are claiming I said now. No, I don't believe you know what I think better than I do

So you agree that the theory of evolution is true.

Great. You just passed 6th grade science. Good for you.

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.

Where does he say the earth is 6000 years old?

When he agrees with Ken Ham on a literal reading of Genesis.

Are you all still discussing this? Who cares what he believes? As long as he doesn’t use religion as the basis for his decisions in government, I don’t see what the issue is.

That ship sailed long ago, sorry. You really need to read up on him.

 

[pknopp]

Some theories are true. True things are facts. And they are and will forever still be called scientific theories. And nothing more. Other than "fact".

Like, the theory of evolution. It's a fact.

If you say so.

That ship sailed long ago, sorry. You really need to read up on him.

I’m not following. You think his religion is the focus of his decisions in lawmaking? He even said it wasn’t in the interview with hannity.

I answered this already. It shows he is willing to ignore proven facts. (Actual facts)

 

[initforme]

I'm a lifelong christian white male who realizes my religious beliefs should not be a part of politics. I would fight against that. There's many religions in america which has made us stronger.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

If you say so.

You don't have to take my word for it. Go check.
