What Neil deGrasse Tyson (supposedly) said at left isn’t true. The theory of evolution is about 170 years old. Science demonstrated that Earth is approximately 4.55 billion years old in 1956.
There are still people who believe that Noah put two of each species on his ark sometime in the last 6000 years, at time at which God created the Heavens and the Earth as asserted in the book of Genesis.
I once took my son and some friends camping in the High Sierras in Eastern California, and I was chatting with a park ranger about an exhibit that showed that there are trees on Earth far older than 6000 years. I asked her, “Don’t Christians occasionally object that God hadn’t yet created the universe?” “All the time,” she responded. “I change the subject immediately. I’ve gotten very good at this over the years.”
Sadly, a significant number of U.S. voters believe what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, i.e., that “God isn’t finished with America yet,” and that “We need people (from the Republican party) of character and integrity,” as if there are any.
But what is that number, roughly?
After living through the first 18 month of Trump’s second term, with all the lies, the incompetence, and the corruption, this number has dwindled to a point that the Republicans are bracing themselves for the worst.
Republicans Manipulate American’s Ignorance — and it Doesn’t Take Too Much Skill
I’m sure some of these excuses are extremely common in the minds of those making huge profits by destroying our planet.
