(Above: Rep. Paul Broun doing his best to cut waste in science, space and technology).
Ever wonder why China might overtake the United States by Tuesday?
On September 27th 2012, Rep. Paul Broun (R, GA), delivered these insights to the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman's Banquet:
BROUN: God's word is true. I've come to understand that. 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. And it's lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior. 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. That's what the Bible says.
And what I've come to learn is that it's the manufacturer's handbook, is what I call it. It teaches us how to run our lives individually, how to run our families, how to run our churches. But it teaches us how to run all of public policy and everything in society. And that's the reason as your congressman I hold the Holy Bible as being the major directions to me of how I vote in Washington, D.C., and I'll continue to do that.
Lies from the pit of Hell!
You can cop the transcript of his remarks, and a link to him saying it on YouTube, by heading off here.
And amazingly here he is going about his business checking on instances of waste, fraud or abuse in science.
And never mind that his remarks are a clear example of verbal waste, theological fraud and abuse of the public he's supposed to serve.
Okay, he can think what he thinks - we all have the right to be deluded - but who allowed this loon anywhere near science in the United States?
Did anyone mention dinosaurs?
Or deers in the headlights of Chinese scientists?
I know this sounds a bit crook, but is anyone else out there wondering if the world might actually be a better place with the Chinese as top dogs?

ReplyDelete"The find of Homo erectus pekinensis suddenly divided paleontologists into two camps: those who continued to maintain that humanoid life had arisen in Africa (specifically in East Africa), and those who now believed that humanoid life had arisen in Asia - specifically, in China. That debate remains unresolved."
Is that some kind of satirical stab in the dark as an attempt to defend Broun? Do you want to sound as stupid as he does? If so you've made a very good start ...
ReplyDeleteShove this in your Playstation and crank up that bong:
Polymorphism occurring at the RRM2P4 locus is unique in that it clearly roots in East Asia, has an ancient TMRCA, and also yields higher non-African than African nucleotide diversity. Our SNP assay estimates that the Asian lineage is found at less than 1% in African populations. The distribution of the Asian lineage strongly suggests an Asian origin but should not be taken as definitive proof that it did not originate in Africa. The Asian lineage appears to have diverged from the globally distributed portion of the genealogy approximately 2MYA. It is interesting to note that this estimated divergence time is concordant with the age of the oldest Homo erectus fossils found outside of Africa (Gabunia et al. 2000). Following further lines of investigation, if panmixia at the RRM2P4 locus can be rejected, it would have important implications for our view of Homo sapiens as a species. Any degree of dual ancestry in the modern human genome would either demonstrate that the transition to an anatomically modern form did not occur in an isolated, panmictic population (Cann, Stoneking, and Wilson 1987) or that replacement of preexisting hominid populations was incomplete (e.g., Brauer 1989; Smith, Falsetti, and Donnelly 1989).
This http://earlhose.posterous.com/julian-vs-julia will have you in stitches, DP. A chance finding, since my policy is to buy a newspaper only when it publishes one of my letters.
ReplyDeleteThe snaps are from the Media section of The Oz. On one side, Ugly Old White Blokes & their shoe-shine boy, lined up to applaud Jones. Facing them, a stable of women in the media, all but one is a generation younger than the UOWBs.
The question is, why do women find Jones & his sequinned cowboys so darned offensive? Why, why, why? Why don't they just roll over & admit Jones is always right?
Good questions Earl, and how fine to see the insides of the Oz, and be reminded why the pond boycotts it - and urges others to do so - in the same way some urge a boycott of Jones and 2GB. By golly this boycott business can be fun ...
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile it gets even worse Charles Fuqua a GOP (Arkansas) state politician has published a new book titled God's Law The Only Political Solution in which among other things he endorses the death penalty for rebellious children.
ReplyDeleteSuch an applied solution would have obviously nipped you in the bud very early on aye Dorothy.
