Rand Paul Won’t Say How Old the Earth Is

From PageOneKentucky.com, here’s a video of GOP candidate Rand Paul addressing a convention of Christian homeschoolers, and dodging a question about the age of the Earth.
The questions asked by the homeschoolers in the video: 1) are you a Christian, 2) how old is the Earth, and 3) will you let the UN take our children. Yep, really. And these are the teachers asking these questions. They’re raising a generation of kids who are ignorant anti-science fanatics, afraid that the United Nations is going to come and kidnap them. Good grief.
Did he dodge the question because he’s a creationist and he knows that he shouldn’t reveal it for political reasons, or because he’s not a creationist and he knows he shouldn’t reveal it for political reasons? Either way, this is very sleazy behavior.
My opinion: I think he probably is a creationist, just like his father Ron Paul, because his world view matches the creationist world view in every respect.
(I was kidding about hating your posts, of course. I’m much obliged for your contributions to the thread. My wife and I hope to Christian-School our children, but we’re willing to consider home-schooling also. We’re both of the opinion that sending a child to an Evolutionist Government School is a form of Child Abuse).
The Bible reveal that earth is not our home.
I can see that the writer is completely unbiased in his evaluation of Rand Paul’s position.
Yeah,
right...
Yeah, objective journalism at its finest.
The writer ASSumes a lot......
But that's all to the good, I say. Christian home-schoolers and other Creationists wouldn't mind having another Ally in the Senate.
Thanks!
EXACTLY!!!!!
Best post I’ve seen on the age of the earth debate.
That’s a keeper.
Thank you.
Good thing that evos don’t have such restrictions on their behavior.....
The Free Market demands trained biologists who know the theory of evolution.
The Free Market has no use for highly trained creationists.
How many jobs do you see in the Sunday Paper for creationists?
There are lots of jobs out there for biologists.
The Free Market at work.
So are you saying he's too ashamed to admit it?
Every kind was represented on the ark. From these, all the “species” could have self-selected for the area and environment they eventually migrated to,
but the pair that was on the ark had all the genetic information necessary to “naturally select” into the “species” we see today.
Likewise evolutionists will never attract anyone to science by calling them *creatards* and *IDiots*, flat earthers, and a whole plethora of other derogatory terms, and insulting them as some evos ahve already tried on this thread.
See? It works both ways.
Gotcha!
So evolution is thousands of times more powerful/faster of a mechanism than science proposes; but we still shouldn't teach it in school?
Natural selection happens,
but natural selection is not evolution.
The main difference is that genetic information isn’t added in the process.
School boards, even in conservative strongholds, that introduce creationist lesson plans, get thrown out by voters.
How do you explain this?
Sure it will.
The national average in Education Spending, per child, is around $10,000 per year.
Now, suppose that instead of Stealing that money from Creationist parents, and using it to fund Evolutionist schools -- we just hand every Parent their $10,000 per-child, and say, "Choose the school you want!"
Creationist Parents will send their children to Creationist Schools. Since those who support the teaching of Creationism as the sole or alternate explanation of life on Earth (80% of all Americans) vastly outnumber those who favor the teaching of Evolution-Only (20% of all Americans), the Free Market will respond by providing far more Creationist schools than Evolutionist schools. These numbers will progressively tilt even more in favor of Creationists over time, because we breed a lot more kids.
He who pays the piper, calls the tune. None of your arguments really matter, if Creationist Parents get to choose with their pocketbooks, as to what kind of schools we wish to send our kids.
We'll out-spend and out-breed you and your kind. Simple as that.
How old is the earth? I can’t anwser that. I know it’s older than I am because it was here when I arrived.
Perhaps we can saw it in half and count the rings!
