Ugh.
Republican Representative Paul Broun, Georgia, member of the House Science Committee:
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. … 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.

You’re not helping.
Now, don’t get me wrong. People who refuse to believe facts and instead want to believe the most monstrously obviously wrong and silly nonsense have the right to vote, have the right to run for Congress, have the right to win and holds seats if they win a proper election (how else would we have Democrats?). But what in Zarquon’s name are people who explicitly believe that science is not only factually wrong, but instead desperately EVIL, doing on the Science Committee???
Note: you want to believe in God, Heaven, Satan, Hell, Zeus, Tartarus, Shiva, Feklar, Crom, ghosts, souls? Sure, great, whatever. You want to believe that evolution is something other than an established fact? You’re WRONG. You are either intensely ignorant, or you are lying to yourself. In either case, you don’t pass even the most preliminary tests that should be required to be on a “science committee.”
