   Backwards, turn backwards,
   Oh time in thy flight.
   And give me a brain again,
   Just for tonight.

   Pseudo- science, the religion of the left.

   That’s why we need more G.O.P. members in the C.I.A.
   Talk about “Counter-Intelligence…”!

   Democrats love taxes and will use scientists to justify them.

   If G-d zapped the world into existence yesterday & put in some redwood trees with 1000 rings, some “old” mountains, some fossils, & gave us belly-buttons and consistent memories, how would we know the difference?

   It could be a 4.5 billion year old earth created yesterday.
   Both ages are true, but in different senses.

   I completely agree with this. Those bone-shaped rocks are just rocks. The naturalist Nesbitt proved that the creatures were created by psammeads, already roasted, and people would eat them for dinner, but, at sunset, the bones turn into solid rock.

   
   I trust Ms Nesbitt more than those people who claim the world is more than 6,017 years old, because I only read the one Book that has the TRVTH (plus Nesbitt’s book, of course).

    You’re joking, of course. The pseudo-science gravitates to the right. If there are any serious, educated, and intelligent Republicans left, how do they react to this charade? It’s a complete embarrassment that any politician who supports “creation science” can be taken seriously. What has gone wrong with our country?

    Excuse me while I go bury some fake dinosaur bones to fool the scientists.

    That’s remarkable sophistry. How do you know that you’re not just a brain in a vat?

    Luckily for the Republicans the citizens of the U.S. are the most scientifically illiterate in the industrialized world.

    It’s not sophistry. I admit I was taking it to an extreme, but just to illustrate what is the heart of scientific method and epistemology of empiricism. Science gives us is operational definitions, not ultimate Truth. On every side of this creation debate there is a fundamental ignorance of what Science is.

    Note none of the comments from the 2016 candidates actually support Creationism. 3 of 4 responses are telling the questioner to buzz off, which is a reasonable response to such a question. All of the responses are compatible with the current scientific consensus on the formation of our solar system. They are certainly no more ridiculous that the typical Democrat response when asked about abortion destroying a human life (if it ain’t human and it ain’t life, what is it?). Or the idea that if we station too much military on Guam it may tip over. Or that sharks still patrol the slaver sea routes of the 17th and 18th centuries waiting for a dead slave snack. Or that Mars and the moon are the same celestial body. Or that weather is caused by global warming. Or that solar and wind power will ever play a significant role in our power generation. Or…
