@futurebird
You talking about this Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who was both a lawyer and founder of a Creationist museum?

I think his record is established, but it sure would be nice if reporters kept bringing it up.

@futurebird He said something about dinosaurs on Noah's Ark. He is in the cult. He thinks they are real but maybe it was like the Flintstones.

@futurebird young earth crowd clings to the notion of a 4000-6000 year old earth with humans coexisting with dinosaurs.

@futurebird I can recall being six or seven years old and believing both 7 days and big bang with no conflict at all. Eventually though I turned eight. I think about that often, and how some people maybe never turn eight in that way.

@futurebird I’m used to evolution denialists, but how are they connecting that to shootings?

@futurebird Oh, no, he's pretty open that he believes the Earth is only 6000 years old and dinosaurs were on the ark.

@futurebird

Y'know, I read my Bible, I go to church - but y'know what? I can't find anywhere in the Bible where God told me to be an unscientific idiot.

@futurebird
Yee-haw!

@futurebird The more I observe it, the more I believe that these nuts are desperately trying to manufacture their own reality.

When they're not creating news and opinion echo chambers for their own delusions, they're trying to outright ban the spread of information that conflicts with their deranged and flat-out non-factual world view.

Just watch them get absolutely enraged the moment they hear an actual fact that deviates from the bizarro world they're trying to maintain.

Intuitively, it feels like the further people get away from reality, the greater the amount of energy and effort must be expended to maintain the lie, and there should be a point somewhere along the line at which it all collapses, but we don't seem to be quite there yet.

@futurebird @jetton Normal creationists tend to brush away obvious evidence, sometimes making up weird flippant explanations of their own on the spot.

I think there's a @pzmyers video where he says that he talked to a creationist once who explained the grand canyon by saying that God and Satan had a battle there once.

But I think Creationist leaders like the Answers in Genesis writers know that they are lying about the age of the Earth and do it anyway; I can't explain how they act otherwise.

@futurebird Of course dinosaurs were real, I mean, what else could Jesus ride to and from his mansion?

@futurebird Wait this was not a joke??

How is evolution anyway related to shootings??
