I know it gets real hot in Georgia in the summer, so you'd think they'd recognize hell when they see it. Apparently not. How do these people even get elected?

How do these people even get elected? Atheists are very rarely elected in the US, so we mostly get to choose between Christians of differing amounts of religious devotion. (And the occasional variant in the form of mormon, catholic, etc) If they're saying that they think an invisible dude created everything, but did it through evolution, well, oh well. As long as they just focus on real stuff in the science class room and leave the biblical creation story stuff for sunday school and/or lit class.
But these guys who just are in complete denial of the fundamental principles of the science that shapes everything they use on a daily basis just absolutely confound me.
I'm sure this is hilarious to people outside the US. But for people in the US, it's just really, really embarassing. (And troubling.)
- CamperBob2 14y agoI'm not sure I understand how they end up in positions of power and influence. Who thought it was a good idea to put this Neanderthal on the science committee? Did he ask for the position? Is this just a matter of political horse-trading?
- Crake 14y agoI wonder if he considers the COBE graph to be a demonic trick or something. (Most likely, he's probably never even heard of blackbody radiation, but.) I really don't understand how he is "unopposed" for re election. If this guy represents the views of the average Georgian, I don't think I ever want to go there.
