First he comes out against the drug war, and now he calls out fundamentalist idiots who think the world is only 6,000 years old. As it turns out, there's this thing called "science". Who knew?
Just wait...the right-wing talking heads are all going to start calling him mean names now. They turn on everyone not in 100% lockstep with their ideology, which these days includes a rejection of science.
?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,? Robertson said. ?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.?
Before answering the question, Robertson acknowledged the statement was controversial by saying, ?I know that people will probably try to lynch me when I say this.?
?If you fight science, you are going to lose your children, and I believe in telling them the way it was,? Robertson concluded.
