Congresman Calls Evolution A Lie

http://news.yahoo.com/congressman-ca...175514039.html

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Georgia Rep. Paul Broun said in videotaped remarks that evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory are "lies straight from the pit of hell" meant to convince people that they do not need a savior.

The Republican lawmaker made those comments during a speech Sept. 27 at a sportsman's banquet at Liberty Baptist Church in Hartwell. Broun, a medical doctor, is running for re-election in November unopposed by Democrats.

I believe he's referring to Darwin's Theory of Evolution specifically.

Talking Re: Congresman Calls Evolution A Lie

A man that I used to work with wanted to prove to me God was not real. he would eat bannanas when I walked by him, jumping up and down like a monkey. yes, he even made monkey sounds.
i did say that only he came from monkeys.

Re: Congresman Calls Evolution A Lie


Actually none of those is any denial of the existence of God, and perfectly reasonable models exist that incorporate them. What better description of the power of Word spoken by God than the big bang? How to better "Understand I AM" than to see that evolution plays a role in the here and now and can still contain an Adam and Eve? Reality is much stranger than you might imagine, and denying the big bang might possibly have you in league with the RCC v Galileo, Copernicus...
