Head of House "Science" Committee Appointed Evolution Denier to Head Science Investigations * 2
    #22454386 - 10/30/15 04:51 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

The current head of the US House of Representatives "Science" Committee, Lamar Smith, in 2013, appointed Rep. Paul Broun to head the Science Investigations and Oversight Committee.

Quote:

“All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell.”

That scientific opinion comes courtesy of Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia, who also apparently sees geology as originating in the devil’s realm, since he also has said he believes the earth is only “about 9,000 years old” and “was created in six days as we know them.” We wish that what we’re about to report was a joke but, alas, it is not. Broun is a member of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee.

And thanks to an appointment by the science committee’s new chairman, U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, Broun will lead the panel’s Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight during the recently convened 113th Congress.

Yup -- someone who believes the earth was created 9000 years ago in 6 days was heading the US House of Representatives Science Investigations and Oversight Committee.

Ohhh boy.

like in Canada... they silenced the Scientists, prevented them from making their findings known to the public or something, but now that Trudeau is in, he's repealing it

It was 6000 years ago. That guy needs to get his facts straight! :crankey:

well im not really sure how someone's religion is important.  Until science can explain how there is basically an infinite amount of matter in the universe and it keeps getting created along with the space to hold it and where it all came from then anyones guess is good enough

No, that logic is stupid and ridiculous.  Fundamentally, science doesn't "explain how" anything.  It describes, models and predicts.  Expecting perfection is a ridiculous expectation on your part.  Its a work in progress that is constantly iterating and honing.  That is not a weakness, it is science's ultimate strength.

no its science asking for 1 miracle, the same dam miracle that the religious ask for.


All the shit explainations for how the universe formed, and is still forming is all just bullshit guesses.

they say matter can't be created nor destroyed, yet its pretty dam obvious both is happening.  The universe can't expand AND fill up without matter still being created, and blackholes take shit in and nothing comes out, aka destroyed.  Science will say blackholes arn't destroying it mearly so it fits there stupid little laws they wrote decades ago, aka following the science 'religion'. 

the bottom line is they can not explain the beginning, they can't even explain the 'now'.  Its all guesses and you put it at a higher 'rating' just because 'science' said it, when in reality what it all boils down to is a bunch of circle jerks in a classroom guessing.  their best guess is better than anyone elses?  when their guesses don't even add up?

Who says that?  That is not a principle or theorem of science...  You are betraying your ignorance.

Scientific theories make accurate predictions.  Far more accurate than "anyone's best guess".  The computer you are on now is a result of scientific theory.  Your best guess could never make a computer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_mass





Mass is not matter.  Matter is ill defined and not conserved.  Mass is well defined and is conserved.

From the wiki on matter...

Quote:

Matter should not be confused with mass, as the two are not quite the same in modern physics.[7] For example, mass is a conserved quantity, which means that its value is unchanging through time, within closed systems. However, matter is not conserved in such systems, although this is not obvious in ordinary conditions on Earth, where matter is approximately conserved.




Again, you betray your ignorance of basic scientific concepts.  Maybe you should head some important committee!

incorrect, matter is a form of mass.  henceforth you are basically playing semantics and failed ontop of picking such a mundane point to argue on the broad topic presented.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Matter is just a form of energy.

energy = mass * speed of light^2

So wikipedia is a source you trust when you want to make a point, but then when I quote it you claim its incorrect...  Matter is ill defined.  It has no strict scientific definition.  It a non-scientific descriptor used by laypersons.  Mass is well defined and conserved in closed systems.  The idea that it is conserved is supported by observations and also by theory relativity and Noether's theorem.  Matter is not necessarily conserved in closed systems.
