The following from Paul Broun, a representative.
What is worse than the above bozos being representatives, is the fact that they are both on the House Science committee, with Broun allegedly being a high ranking member.
BTW: Broun is a practicing MD & has a degree in chemistry from (I think) the University of Georgia). I would like to see a final exam he passed. Perhaps it had questions like the following.
It is a shame that there was no prominantly published outrage about the views of these congressmen.
The following from another representative, Todd Atkin.Congressman Paul Broun (R-Ga.) said last week that evolution and the big bang theory are "lies straight from the pit of Hell."
"God's word is true. I've come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the big bang theory, 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."
He continued:
"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."
I suppose it follows that women who claim rape & are fortunate enough to not become pregnant are liars, they enjoyed it, and/or they enticed some upstanding citizen to commit an act he would not have done on his own imitative.Akin made headlines last month for suggesting that women don't get pregnant from "legitimate rape" because their bodies have "ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
