WHOA! PAT ROBERTSON denies Young Earth Theory

Look, I know that people will probably try to lynch me when I say this, but Bishop [James] Ussher wasn't inspired by the Lord when he said that it all took 6,000 years. It just didn't. You go back in time, you've got radiocarbon dating. You got all these things and you've got the carcasses of dinosaurs frozen in time out in the Dakotas.
They're out there. So, there was a time when these giant reptiles were on the Earth and it was before the time of the Bible. So, don't try and cover it up and make like everything was 6,000 years. That's not the Bible.

"If you fight science," he continued, "you're going to lose your children, and I believe in telling it the way it was."

1. You sure Huffington is not reposting from the Onion?

If he really said this then the fundies will claim he is suffering from dementia along with many on DU.

3. I think the dementia claim is pretty likely

..but it could backfire, too, I think.
