Marco Rubio can't tell you the age of the Earth without placating young-Earth creationists

Actually, even if he does placate them, he still can't tell you.  Not sure if ignorant of scientific answer or just too shit-scared.


Remember when the internet was jumping all over this guy for being the one tea-party Republican that people would support only because he grandstanded against SOPA?


...yeah, I wonder if that was merely for scoring political points.  Politicians gonna politick.

    I can't believe how many people in the US believe in young-Earth creationism in the fucking 21st century.

    Interestingly young-Earth creationism is a more logically consistent position than old-Earth creationism because if the Earth were only a few thousand years old it would actually make sense for there to be "microevolution" but not "macroevolution". There's a reason that evolutionary theory didn't appear until after geological gradualism caught on.

    Huh, I've never thought of it that way before. That actually makes a lot of sense.


    Regardless of consistency, it's a pretty foolish and naive belief. You can't really disprove eras of geological and biological development unless resorting to silly conspiracy theories.

    Yeah, of course. I mean you're still essentially ignoring the entire field of geology for the last two centuries.
