    Georgia Congressman Says Big Bang Is "Straight From The Pit Of Hell"

    Paul Broun (R-GA) gave a fiery speech last week, and said scientific concepts like the Big Bang and evolution were "straight from the pit of Hell". He also claimed the Earth was 9000 years old - which means the Earth was created a thousand years *after* humans discovered agriculture. Hmmm. BTW, this guy sits on the House Science Committee... with Todd "Women Have Magic Vaginas" Akins.
