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

[berg80]

Would Republicans have rallied to save Pelosi?

This idea it was actually Dems who are responsible for Kev being sacked is just a canard so the MAGAnuts don't have to accept responsibility for throwing the House in to chaos.

 

[Blaster]

She did nothing of the sort. She was there because Feinstein had just died. And she knew her vote would be of no consequence. BTW, please provide proof of her promise.

McCarthy mentioned that Pelosi promised to back him in retaining the Speakership. She lied.

 

[berg80]

Actually, the "young earth" belief is no less preposterous than believing the Evolution Theory explanation of the origins of life on earth and the multiplicity of species on earth. Both are nonsense, but one carries the appearance of "science."

And unless the OP can find a quote from the new Speaker on the subject, it should STFU on the subject.

I have bad news for you. Santa isn't real.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

This and his “No abortions under any circumstances” are sure to win over the suburbs that MAGA keeps losing.

The Biden economy will win us the suburbs lol

 

[Polishprince]

That's OK. Pelosi believes sea levels will rise feet in the next 30 years. Which sounds nuttier?

Pelosi also believes that Abortion is a virtue and Almighty God put Adam and Steve into the Garden, not Adam and Eve and these two guys are our first "parents"

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

And on topic ANYONE who believes the earth is NOT billions of years old is an ignorant buffoon

 

[berg80]

McCarthy mentioned that Pelosi promised to back him in retaining the Speakership. She lied.

You call that proof? Kevin said it? One of the many reasons Dems didn't support him is he was untrustworthy. IOW, you have no proof.

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.​

Doesn't mean diddly-squat...

For a Christian, the main thing is to subscribe to mainstream Christian philosophy and behaviors and morality...

Stuff like a continued belief in Creationism as literally described in Scripture isn't terribly important by comparison...

So long as he-and-his don't take legislative action to discredit Evolutionary Theory I don't have a problem with this.

Toddlers and leftwing atheists have much in common. To them, if something isn't within two feet of their faces, it doesn't exist.

If you choose to believe in the cloud fairy it's up to you. But are you intellectually honest enough to admit it's a matter of faith, not based on evidence or science?

 

[Votto]

I respect a good Christian man but there is beyond zero chance the young earth theory has one ounce of validity. That's on par with the flat earth crazies and the Q anon wackos

I submit turning a blind eye to acts of murder and terror are as bad as society can devolve into, that and sexually abusing children.

Christianity is science which we have yet to understand. They are 100% compatible.

Now the Democrats are unhappy with Johnson. McCarthy was a moderate willing to work with the other party.

Evolution can not be proven. Young Earth can be disproven.

I got no problem with that. Personally I don't believe it. But what is the other option, bub? Believe a woman can have a penis and there are 87 genders? C'mon, bub.

6000 years is nothing compared to the filthy dems.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Cult fucks believe Biden is a good POTUS.

81 million votes. 81 million dumb motherfuckers.

I submit the idea the 90% of abortions that occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy are murder is based on a religious belief that life starts at conception.

Science shows that life does start at conception. Did you flunk Science 101?

 

[Edgetho]

A true theocrat, that close to the Oval Office.

Evidently we haven't learned from the Middle East.

Define what you mean by life. Is protoplasmic goo "life." Does a fertilized egg have a soul?

 

[Edgetho]

Wait...........did you just compare the wackadoodle belief the Earth is 6K years old with those who accept the overwhelming scientific evidence of man made climate change?

How much of it is 'man-made'?
