9 year old: " “How old do you think the earth is?” Mr. Perry

Despite Perry claim, Texas schools don’t teach creationism alongside evolution
By Patrick Michels | 08.18.11 | 5:33 pm


“How old do I think the earth is?” Mr. Perry said. “You know what? I don’t have any idea. I know it’s pretty old, so it goes back a long, long way. I’m not sure anybody actually knows completely and absolutely how long, how old the earth is.”

Ms. Bunce urged Sam to ask the governor about his views on evolution, and Mr. Perry began to answer her question, still talking to Sam.

“And here your mom was asking about evolution, and you know, it’s a theory that’s out there and it’s got some gaps in it,” Mr. Perry continued. “In Texas, we teach both creationism and evolution in our public schools.”


The only problem with that, of course, is that it’s not true.

1. I can understand Perry's confusion on what Texas schools teach.

After all, his Texas A&M marks showed he didn't even appear to know what was being taught in his college classes.

2. Next someone should ask him why the tides go in and out.

I'm pretty sure he has no idea about that either.

6. I wonder if he knows how old he is?

10. Or, "Is the earth the center of the universe?"

If he just says "No" the baggers will drop him like a hot stone :rofl:

But, if he says, "No, I am," they'll love it. :rofl:

3. It is only...

...what? 150 years since Lord Kelvin calculated the earth's age to be at least in the millions of years range.

4. Uh oh, he just failed a big teabagger test.

I'd like to hear that question asked in a GOP debate. How many would get the answer right? Maybe Paul?

5. I didn't know Perry could tap dance.

7. I'll take ''got some gaps'' over ''is nothing but a huge gap'' any time. -nt

8. This fucking MORON is running for President

We live in sad times.

9. "I know it's pretty old"?

You mean the earth -isn't- only 6-10,000 years old? So he's defying the LITERAL WORD OF SCRIPTURE? Heathen!
