9000? Well, that's older than most young-earthers claim; I'll give him credit for that much. But if you're going to try to use the Bible as a geology textbook, then at least GET THE FREAKING NUMBERS RIGHT.

I get his criticism of evolution and the big bang theory- that is par for the course for guys like him- but embryology? I have never heard this particular critique before. I did not know this field was a point of political contention.

We have nukes, and short of that we'll suck our allies into any conflict we can.

So unfortunately, our worthless politicians can affect your life too. Had your balls grabbed at an airport recently?
