    According to Georgia congressman Paul Broun who currently serves on the Committee for Science Space and Technology, evolution, embryology and The Big Bang Theory are lies straight from the pit of hell and that the Earth is only 9000 years old.

    I don't think there could be any person less qualified to to serve on that particular committee and yet apparently there are enough people in Georgia dumb enough to elect this guy and then enough people in congress stupid enough to put him on a committee he quite obviously is too grossly uninformed and uneducated to participate in.

    I'm fine with him believing whatever he wants, that's no my problem. My problem is we have a guy sitting on a committee he's completely unqualified to make any informed decisions on.

    I don't think anyone who says "the Earth" is qualified to disqualify someone else as an expert in astronomy. We don't say "the Saturn."

    David duke was also once a democrat.

    Good thing democratic voters thought these two were nuts. Republicans on the other hand...

    Well, there was a grammatical error. I should not have capitalized Earth in that context, however what I wrote was still correct when used to refer to the the mass of earth and rock that we live on rather than the proper noun. So kudos on catching a capitalization error, your trophy is in the mail.

    So, would you like to discuss the topic that a guy who rejects evolution and carbon dating is unqualified to serve on a science committee?

    Does it remind you of the United Nations putting countries like Venezuela on the Human Rights Committee?

    Maybe the most bigoted post I've read today and yet, since it acknowledges evolution still leads me to believe this poster may be more qualified than the Georgia congressman....

    Or Arafat winning a peace prize?

    Something like that, so we agree this guy is unqualified for the position?

    One clarification: the "UN" does not put them there. The Human Rights council is determined by election from within regions.

    So yes it is similar, but it is not the "UN" that puts countries on the council, it is the countries from those regions.

    It would be like saying that Congress put this guy in Congress.

    No it's a thread about someone who denies evolution entirely and whether such a person is fit to be in the congress.

    No idea what you're on about or why you need to use so many unnecessary carriage returns.

    How about you try getting back on the topic of this congress person being unqualified for the position he holds.

    I don't think they're talking about social evolution.

    I'm not sure why qualifications in astronomy are relavant to this thread, but people say "the Earth" all the time in various contexts. I don't think it is a grammatical error at all.

    "Theory are lies straight from the pit of hell and that the Earth is only 9000 years old."

    Here "the Earth" is referred to as a proper noun (as opposed to say, "the floor was made of earth") and thus it is properly capitalized.

    As if the democrats have done anything better?

    I must however give them credit for not being as anti-science as the right. Remember this:

    From the Texas GOP platform:

    Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.

    "Earth is about 4 billion years old"
    "The earth is about 4 billion years old"

    Both are correct but mean different things, I made an error when I capitalized it not using the proper noun. In either case, the post was a pathetic attempt to point out an error totally unrelated to the topic and not even the error the poster though he was pointing out.

    Trucker's attempt to blindly stand up for his party makes me feel sorry for him.
