The House Science Committee, Continued

Today's member of the House Science Committee, serving beside Todd "legitimate rape" Akin, is Representative Paul Broun of Georgia. Broun, a medical doctor, gave a speech to the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman's Banquet in which he said,

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. And it’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior. . . . 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.
