Science Genius Glenn Beck tries to work out how old the Earth is on his show
In an article with GQ magazine Sen. Marco Rubio was asked how old he believes the Earth to be, which he refused to answer on the grounds that “I’m not a scientist, man.” Personally, I don’t take that as serious as some do, but until his lack of science trumps our understanding of such, then it’s irrelevant — well it was until Glenn Beck and company rehashed the subject on his show.
FYI: The fact is that the Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. But, some Republicans and Evangelists believe that humans shared the planet with Dinosaurs and were BFFs.
Right Wing Watch reports:
Today on Glenn Beck’s radio program, Beck and his co-hosts totally dismissed the entire question as totally meaningless because nobody cares and it doesn’t matter … while obviously having absolutely no idea as to how the biblical age is calculated as they wildly guess that it probably comes from the fact that God created the heavens and earth in six days and that each day for God equals one thousand years.
Watch Beck and his colleagues attempt to calculate the age of the Earth — get ready to point and laugh.
