ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia Rep. Paul Broun said in videotaped remarks that evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory are "lies straight from the pit of hell" meant to convince people that they do not need a savior.
Broun also said that he believes the Earth is about 9,000 years old and that it was made in six days. Those beliefs are held by fundamentalist Christians who believe the creation accounts in the Bible to be literally true.
Oh, well, so his medieval ideas on those subjects don't necessarily mean he won't be a good Congressman, do they?
He sits on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.
Oh. Maybe they do.
