57. Creationists think they are scientists.

Mon Feb 20, 2012, 11:16 PM

Feb 2012

They just define science as whatever the Book of Genesis says. (Look, it has "gene" right in the title. That sounds scientific.) All those people who went to college and studied textbooks and ran experiments and earned PhD's are just misled. They could've saved a lot of time if they just read the Bible. Oh, and remember, when something about creationism defies all logic, it's just evidence of a miracle. And the Grand Canyon was created by the Great Flood of Noah.

What Santorum meant, though, was that Global Warming is a hoax perpetrated by environmentalists, led by Al Gore, who secretly want to wreck our economy, like they did in 2008. He knows this because Exxon Mobil told him so, and they have no reason to lie.
