On September 27th, he remarked that evolution, embryology
and the Big Bang theory are "lies straight from the pit of hell" meant
to convince people that they do not need a savior. It's on videotape. This article embedded part of the video but the YouTube link to the entire thing is gone. Huh. Wonder who requested the takedown notice...

Watch the video and be amazed. Not in a good way, of course...but amazed. Then for giggles read his wiki entry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Broun It's full of crazy.
Something is seriously screwed up when an eejit spouting this kind of philosophy is helping drive science policy in Congress.
P.S. I promise the next post will be about sciencey goodness. Must.Counteract.Stupid-that-burns.
