Is Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul a creationist?
Last week, Paul spoke at a conference for the Christian Home Educators of Kentucky at a Louisville church where he dodged a question about the age of the earth and expressed skepticism about faith-based programs.
The first question during the Q&A was from a man who asked a two-part question, including how old Paul believed the world was.
"I forgot to say I was only taking easy questions," Paul joked, adding: "I'm going to pass on the age of the Earth. I'm just going to have to pass."
Andrew Willis of Elizabethtown, who teaches his four children at home, said he hoped Paul's answer would jive with his own belief that the earth is about 6,000 years old.
"I'm not at all surprised that he didn't want to answer that question," Willis said shortly after posing it. "I know that is hugely controversial."Hugely controversial?
Rand Paul, a doctor, believes the Earth is older than 6,000 years but the conservative base in KY has him screwed for having intelligence. He has to pander to the ignorant or he has to dodge a question from an audience member. So sad.
The Earth is upwards of 4.5 billion years old and Rand how to tip-toe the coded Evangelical "anti-science, conflicting Biblical allegories are real" line to get elected. Even more sad.
