I'm relieved we beat back these wacko people pushing creationism. As in the earth is only 6,000 years old. Facts don't dissuade these delusional people.

I swear these folks want to turn back to the 15th century when you could get in serious hot water for even suggesting that the earth rotated around the sun and not vice versa. It's the new no nothings crowd.
