Paul Broun: Evolution, Big Bang theory ‘lies straight from pit of hell’
To the rest of the country, this may come as a bit of a surprise. To those of us in Georgia, not so much.
From the AP:
ATHENS, Ga. — 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.
“God’s word is true,” Broun said, according to a video posted on the church’s website. “I’ve come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and 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 are taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”
The quote comes at 34:50 in the video above, in which Broun first recounts his exploits as a big-game trophy hunter. Later, he witnesses for Christ and tells his own personal story of finding salvation at a moment of crisis. Personally, I think a more telling moment comes a little earlier, when he tells the audience that pastors of other, more mainstream Christian denominations “are going to send their people to hell” because in his opinion, they do not stress a personal relationship with their savior.
Broun, who is a physician by training, sits on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. I think it’s important to stress that the setting for his remarks is religious in character rather than political.

Dr. Broun doesn’t understand the majesty of the Bible, of what it reveals about what God has done for humanity.

I’d like to see Broun in a discussion with a scientist on the topic of radiometric dating. Nah. Not really. Science is way outside Broun’s area of expertise. He’s more into studies of how to determine if a person is a witch.

Why do so many of you use the remarks of one man to condemn all Christians? If you consider me a wacko because I believe in a God that loves me and sustains me…fine. I could tell you of some incredible moments in my life when I felt God’s presence and had no doubt that He exists. I’m a believer who doesn’t spend a whole lot of time worrying about Adam and Eve or string theory. I also refuse to condemn non-believers or people like Paul Broun. Doesn’t mean I’d vote for him…but I don’t judge others. That’s what my God asks me to do.

Republicans clearly put people like Broun on science committees in order to insure that companies such as Exxon receive preferential treatment. After all, it’s not like someone like Broun would be capable of any level of intellectual exchange in any field of science and so he would naturally yield to whatever an Exxon employee told him including global warming is a hoax and benzene is harmless, etc.

Jay, first i apologize for typos and misspellings. using an iphone. Christians are ambassadors for Jesus Christ. We are to tell the Good News to those in our sphere of Influence. The Good News is that the Creator of the Universe sent his son, Jesus, to demonstrate God’s love for us by dying on the cross for all of humanities sin. If we acknowledge this in Faith and submit ourselves freely to God’s authority then we are offered eternal life in God’s presence. If however, if we reject Jesus and do not submit to God’s authority we will be eternally seperated from God (Hell). When Christians present the Gospel they can be viewed as intolerant. The gospel of John and the book of Romans are worth a read to gain a better understanding of the “intolerant” gospel. Personally, I think the Big Bang Theory could be consistent with the Genesis creation account. I agree that micro-evolution (adaptation) is scientific. I have not however been convinced of macro evolution (one animal changing over time into a completely new kind of animal). The complexity and interdependency of systems seen in the natural world easily demonstrates that a master Designer/Engineer/Creator exists

And if we’re gonna talk about radical opinions, let’s not forget John Holdren’s early opinions:
Overpopulation was an early concern and interest. In a 1969 article, Holdren and co-author Paul R. Ehrlich argued, “if the population control measures are not initiated immediately, and effectively, all the technology man can bring to bear will not fend off the misery to come.”[21] In 1973, Holdren encouraged a decline in fertility to well below replacement in the United States, because “210 million now is too many and 280 million in 2040 is likely to be much too many.”[22] In 1977, Paul R. Ehrlich, Anne H. Ehrlich, and Holdren co-authored the textbook Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment; they discussed the possible role of a wide variety of solutions to overpopulation, from voluntary family planning to enforced population controls, including forced sterilization for women after they gave birth to a designated number of children, and discussed “the use of milder methods of influencing family size preferences” such as access to birth control and abortion.
One down and one to go (forced sterilization).
It is, afterall, constitutional according to Holdren:
“Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
Nothing “illegitimate” about Holdren’s views, right?
“One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption—especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult for single people than for married couples, in recognition of the relative difficulty of raising children alone. It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society.”
Holdren’s “Ecoscience”…gotta love it, right?
Up against Holdren, Broun doesn’t look all that bad.

This man is a relic. Responsible politicians and lawmakers (rare as they seem to be) must absolutely leave their faith at the door when they sit down to discuss state matters. The Sunday alcohol laws are a prime example of religion being used as a guide for public policy. In America this is unfair since we don’t have a state religion. It invites problems for everyone except the Amish!

After reading a few comments, I’d bet there’s not a single person who has written in response to Mr. Bookman who really, truly understands the big bang theory. And you know that Mr. Bookman doesn’t understand it. To not understand something and yet believe it’s true means that someone sold you a good story. Religion, Science, or otherwise, you were still sold just a good story. In other words, don’t believe something just because it’s got science attached to it. A few hundred years ago, the world’s most notable scientists were convinced the earth was flat. On the other hand, I’d also have a tough time believing most anything a Baptist preacher told me.

Just a simple glance at people like Broun and the “christians” posting in this forum is evidence enough to assert with complete confidence that fundamentalist religionists are indeed insane and should be dealt with accordingly. It is high time that all intelligent people stop giving them the benefit of the doubt, stop coddling them, stop smirking and pretending they are harmless. The only difference between the fundamentalist christians and fundamentalist muslims are the lack of airplanes. The same bloodthirsty desire resides in both.

If religion were classified as a disease, it would be the deadliest disease to ever inflict mankind, and should be approached as such. What makes it unique is that it’s a learned disease – a mental disease that disables the ablility to reason, that is spread from generation to the next. The only cure – rational thought – returns when a generation is skipped, or more increasingly, when one is exposed to others who have regained their ability to reason.

I don’t fnd a conflict between belief in Darwin’s Theory and religious belief. In my opinion, while there is evidence of both there is more evidence of the existence of God than there is evidence of evolution. Anyone can see the pure logic, the dependence of living things on the environment and each other, that is far more evidence of design than of random chance. If you believe that the only answer for the trillions of parts coming togeather on a logical order is a massive explosion then I have a bridge I would like to show you. One thing does cause me a problem with Darwins Theory. Why, with hundreds if not thousands of Anthropologists plus Geologists and others constantly searching, digging and exploring for more than a hundred years, there has been no evidence of man evolving. No bones, no ancient drawings, no graves, nothing. No examples of a man with a fin growing out of his head. No examples of a man or waoman with gills. No arms growing out of their backs, or three arms, of four eyes. Nothing. Seems strange. But, I can visit the places mentioned in the bible, and I know this for sure, here we are thousands of years later discussing this great book, living its great laws, that millions have died for. Does anyone know of someone who died for Darwin?

I think while one can argue the lack of evidence of “fins”, it is tough to argue the balance of evidence as pointed out in Darwins natural selection concept as well as his book ‘Origin of Species’ we widely accepted by most scientist by 1870…It’s hard to imagine connecting “fins” and man but the connection to apes, and the evolution of man to it’s current physical state is defense proof..
I am a humanist which is a sexy name for athiest…I think religion has more to do with family tradition and a familiarity of a moral means to develop kids than 100% true belief in the stories of the bible, koran et al…

Paul Broun has a vote in Congress and can directly impact legislation that has an effect on policy. John Holdren can, at best, offer advice on policy that can or cannot be followed by the president. Just goes to show there are people on both sides who say things that should not enter the political conversation. I imagine Holdren had a change of opinion since we eclipsed his population projections by leaps and bounds. I don’t expect a similar change for Braun.

Can’t lie…really looks more lke Bush. I voted for his dad and RR…But he was/is an idiot. Interesting how conservatives talk about lies these day’s. Never hear about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq! Talk about lies and fear selling. Whatever, this blog has become boreing. Out……

Fred, are you going nuts? I exaggerated about the WHOLE state of Penn.
Is it 1/2 the state you wanted punished? 1/3 of the state.
Just STFU

If you were facing Hitler, or watching people appease him, you can be forgiven for having bouts of depression

Back in Jesus’ day no one went hungry because one dinosaur would feed a village.
and no dinosaurs went hungry in villages with gun control.

mother issues.
s’all I’m saying.
the shame is, I live about 20 minutes from Chartwell, but haven’t been, yet. I really need to remedy that. I took my dad to the war rooms, though – HIGHLY recommend it if you ever find yourself in London.

I wonder what he ate last night. The foundation of modern agriculture is based upon the theory of evolution. Whether it was meat or veggies, he may need to think about the consequences of consuming, dare I say? “satan’s food”
that being said, just because Darwin was Athiest, doesn’t mean evolution is contrary to Christianity. Mathematicians will tell you that, at infinity, nothing is random. Even if it is, the kaos of evolution, well, for some of us, it is the design of God.

“just because Darwin was Athiest”
he wasn’t an Atheist – in fact, just the opposite, he studied to be in the clergy when he went to university. He said of his beliefs that he was not an atheist but an agnostic – HUGE difference.
