Deep Thoughts: Is Sarah Palin a young earther?

Is Sarah Palin a young earther?

I figured her for dumb and self-centered, but the thought of Sarah Palin being a young earth creationist never crossed my mind. I mean, nobody that crazy could make it in politics, right? According to a story in my very own Los Angeles Times, Sarah Palin is a young earther.

Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago -- about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct -- the teacher said.

She’s going to run for president too. You watch.

If I didn't laugh I'd cry. She also believes in Judgment Day and "him" coming back. I hope these things are brought up in the next election. We couldn't possibly elect someone so disconnected from reality, could we. Could we?

I'm heading to France if she's elected.

I was pretty sure she was because she at one time attended an AoG church. They seem to be pretty heavy into the literal interpretation other then things they disagree with.

She's also a flat earther; how else would she see Russia from her front porch?

Don't know why anyone is surprised. Palin was a member of what could be called an "end of the world death cult", not to mention a featured speaker at the conventions of the Alaska Independence Party, which believes in secession of Alaska from the Union.

Wow, you guys must really be brilliant. If scientists say so then it (evolution) must be true. Are you aware of the many holes in the theory? Of course not, with your unquestioning, lemming like mentality. You are quick to mock those who don't fall in line with your prejudice. Sounds like a cult to me.

Yes evolution is true unlike many of the claims of the bible. I doubt you have even taken the time to do a little studying about evolution other then from the point that it can't be true. Do you even know what a cult actually is? Why do you want to make everything a religion? Hide from science if you must but don't try spreading your ignorance as some kind of truth.

Science is not a cult. How can a cult include as a basic tenet the continuous discovery of new information that might change/improve its understanding, something religious cults refuse to entertain?
