Paul Broun (R-Ga.), has proclaimed the Earth is not really 4.5 billion years old like everyone thinks, but actually about 9,000 — and all that stuff about evolution and big bang theory, that's just mumbo jumbo. (Or in his words, "lies straight from the pit of hell.") The comments, made at Hartwell's Liberty Baptist Church on Sept. 27, have gone viral, setting off a storm of controversy. [Source]
