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

[surada]

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.​

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.

If mankind controls the weather, why hasn't Sleepy Joe done anything about it? Why didn't B. Hussein O do anything, even though he specifically promised this?

Democrats are unhinged after being THE REASON we have a new speaker in the first place.

Comedy gold!!!!

Pubs are conning you! Zero democrats voted for McCarthy the first time he tried, why would they vote for him the second time?

McCarthy never even asked the Democrats to vote for him....

Mainly because Rs.....Trumpers would have had a fit, and because McCarthy would have had to negotiate with Dems and give them something, for their support, and that would have been a kiss of death as well...

So McCarthy never asked.

He was thrown out by republicans, because Trumpers chose to can him....

The typical trying to blame democrats for McCarthy's ouster by republicans is ridiculous....

So by your own admission the leader of the Dem party distanced himself from the comments of a tiny minority. Thanks for helping me prove your idiocy.
