More rightwing nuttery as Rep. Paul Broun rejects the scientific view of the age of the Earth and evolution in favor of promulgating Creationism or Intelligent design . Broun is entitled to have his own opinion but what makes this story noteworthy is that as Crooks & Liars notes that "With such an open mind Rep. Broun naturally chairs the House Science Committee on Investigations and Oversight" . So what he brings to the table is not scientific data but rather he brings a literal inerrant view of the Bible in which God created the Earth some 6 to 9 thousand years ago rather than some 4 billion years ago.

Rep. Paul Broun: Evolution, Embryology, and the Big Bang Theory are 'Lies Straight from the Pit of Hell'by scarce at Crooks & Liars, Oct. 6, 2012
American Bridge captured Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman's Banquet on September 27, 2012, in Hartwell, Georgia, denying evolution, embryology, and the Big Bang Theory, saying that they are lies from the "pit of Hell".
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.
With such an open mind Rep. Broun naturally chairs the House Science Committee on Investigations and Oversight.
