Bill Maher- America’s Craziest Congressman, Round-3

Bill Maher- America's Craziest Congressman, Round-3 Bill Maher has been running a segment on his show all month entitled: America’s Craziest Congressman. In this weeks segment we see Paul Collins Broun, Jr. the U.S. Representative for Georgia’s 10th congressional district, up against Michele Bachmann, the U.S. Representative for Minnesota’s 6th congressional district.

Michele Bachmann needs no introduction here. You may recall the controversy raging late last year when Broun, a member of the House Committee of Science, Space, and Technology called evolution and the Big Bang theory ‘lies from the pit of hell.’

“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 and keep me and all the folks who are taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”

Broun also said he believed the world was 9,000 years old according to biblical evidence which is slightly less than the 4.5 billion years of age concluded by most scientists.

“You see, there’s a lot of scientific data that I’ve found as a scientist that this really is a young earth. I don’t believe that the earth is but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was made in six days as we know them. That’s what the Bible tells us.”
