Bryan Fischer, the director of issues analysis of the conservative fundamentalist American Family Association, says that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was not wrong for suggesting that the Earth was created in seven days because the only eyewitness account is in the Bible.
Answers in Genesis researcher Dr. Terry Mortenson told Fischer on Tuesday that Rubio had given a deft answer when he told GQ magazine that he didnt know the exact age of the Earth because Im not a scientist, man.
If fact, I would submit that scientist cannot tell us the age of the Earth, Mortenson insisted. The only way we can know the age of the Earth is if we have eyewitness testimony of somebody who was there, and that we have in the Bible, which is the inspired word of the creator.
Thats a very, very important point, Fischer agreed. Because nobody was there and there was no human witness to the origin of the Earth and the origin of all things. I mean, Adam wasnt even an eyewitness to his own creation. All the sudden, he was there.

It's amazing to see a major political party where being intelligent is a drawback.

until they need science, medical or otherwise, to keep them alive. It's just like their railing against government handouts but don't dare touch their Medicaid or Social Security.
