Sen. Marco Rubio is pandering to the GOP base, pretending he doesn't believe in science.

From GQ's December issue:

"Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I?m not sure we?ll ever be able to answer that. It?s one of the great mysteries.?

That's a good one, Marco; it's even memeworthy!!!

So basically he is saying he believes the earth was created, he doesn't say how, when or in how many days....certainly it makes a lot more sense to believe the earth spontaneously came into being.

I am not sure exactly what you mean. I see Rubio as catering to the mindless religious by his statement instead of mentioning the science from the big bang until now.

Pretending to be stupid won't get him the GOP ticket. He's actually insulting his base.

LA Gov. Bobby Jindal has said, "We... don't need to be saying stupid things."

Sen. Rubio should heed Gov. Jindal's call.

Is there a point to that ? Bill Clinton received more of the African American vote than Barack Obama. Blacks don't vote Republican, and race has little to do with it.

Yeah, and it's so helpful that the liberal press can't come up with an intelligent question. That's all they can think of...stupid "gotcha" questions so they can make fun of the answer. Idiots.

May be this is due to Republicans only representing the super rich.

All Rubio had to say: "Hey, I believe in science, and it says the Earth is 4.5 billions years old."

But noooooooooo!!! the Tea-bagger had to pander to ignorance.

I agree with you 100%, on the Republican point.....

BUT 0 VOTES? ARE YOU FUC-IN KIDDIN ME?

That's a little disturbing, I realize the landscape and demographics have changed, and these are different times.......

0 VOTES??????????

Don't be naive about Race........

I'm not bitter, Obama is my President, you only have one, no more negativity from me, the election is over......

I'm an Independent, my man lost, no probs..........

Wanna see the entire quoute, or is totally out of context good enough for you?

GQ: How old do you think the Earth is?
Marco Rubio: I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States. I think the age of the universe has zero to do with how our economy is going to grow. I'm not a scientist. I don't think I'm qualified to answer a question like that. At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all. I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says. Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.​

Chip, please enlighten us, was the Earth created in 7 days literally?

How do I know?

Here are my observations:

1. According to modern science, time is not a constant and therefore is relative, therefore a day could be 24 hours or 24 billon years under the right conditions.

2. A "day" is considered to be the time the earth completes one revolution, given that God was working creating the universe before he even got to the Earth it should be fairly obvious that a "day" could be whatever God deemed it to be since at that point there was no "definition".

OK. I take it back. HE NEVER SAID "[W]HETHER THE EARTH WAS CREATED IN 7 DAYS, OR 7 ACTUAL ERAS... "

I made it up.

Jesus-co?o-Christ!
