Congressman Paul Broun: Evolution, Big Bang 'Lies Straight From The Pit Of Hell'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/06/paul-broun-evolution-big-bang_n_1944808.html

(Posted: 10/06/2012 , just last year, pretend Christians are real lovers of science alright, dumb jackasses like you.)

How do you add Christian belief to science curriculums when even Christians do not agree in what is “Christian truth”? How do you reconcile the beliefs of someone like Congressman Paul Broun (R-Ga.) who labels himself a Christian who said that evolution and the big bang theory are “lies straight from the pit of Hell”?

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."

According to NBC News, Broun's comments were part of a larger speech given at the 2012 Sportsman's Banquet at Liberty Baptist Church in Hartwell, Georgia on September 27th. A clip of the video was distributed by the The Bridge Project, a liberal watchdog group.

Broun is a high-ranking member of the House Science Committee, of which Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) is also a member.

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."
