Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is a Young Earth Creationist

New House Speaker Thinks Creationist Museum Is 'Pointing People To The Truth'

An ark replica with dinosaurs "is one way to bring people to this recognition ... that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Mike Johnson said.

Before arriving in Washington less than a decade ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a deeply religious Christian, was a legal crusader associated with a fringe evangelical movement called “young Earth creationism,” based on a literal reading of the Bible’s Book of Genesis that posits the Earth is only several thousand years old.

What a great surprise!

The Speaker of the House holds the belief that Earth was created between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago and that humans lived alongside dinosaurs. The creationist museum will show people what the truth is.

Mr Johnson believes the Bible describes actual historical events and because it's the word of God therefore it's the only truth and hence the sole legitimate source of public policy.

Anyone can guess his views on abortion. He wants to ban abortion nationwide and no matter the circumstances abortion must become illegal. He has compared abortion to an American Holocaust.

Mr Johnson likes to entertain conspiracy theories and that's for sure. He is a firm believer of Trump's claims the 2020 election was stolen, there was widespread election fraud and voting machines were rigged.

But there is more. Links provided for reading.

So you’re here to demonize and belittle anyone that may believe in a higher power than self but doesn’t agree with the timeline? Got it. You’re so predictable

You’re conflating two different subjects entirely.

Young Earth Creationism

en.wikipedia.org...

Young Earth creationism (YEC) is a form of creationism which holds as a central tenet that the Earth and its lifeforms were created by supernatural acts of the Abrahamic God between about 6,000 and 10,000 years ago. In its most widespread version, YEC is based on the religious belief in the inerrancy of certain literal interpretations of the Book of Genesis. Its primary adherents are Christians and Jews who believe that God created the Earth in six literal days.

What does belief in a "higher power" have to do with throwing away scientific rigor and logic?

Can you imagine what is to have lawmakers who firmly believe the only legitimate source of policy is the Bible?!?!

Seems he wants the US to become a nice Theocracy or a Biblical Republic as he stated back in 2016.

I wonder which of the testaments is his favourite? The old or the new?

Figure it out

I was wondering if anyone REALLY believed the Earth was only10,000 years old. What books teach this? I want to see their rationale.

There are people who believe it. They even believe there is an invisible old man in the skies looking after us.

Maybe you think you did. You might even believe you did. But you did not.

Figure it out

Oh, I think that's exactly the opposite of you want folks to do; figure it out. That means doing and showing one's work, so that it can be duplicated. That's not in your wheelhouse.

We don't have to imagine Jane, this is the mental reality we are faced with. An old story that is as great a mind trap as any ever written.

Quick question: who cares?

Elizabeth Warren thinks she's native American. There. There's another random fact.

ETA: there are so many theories regarding the nature of existence. Young Earth is middle of the road in the grand scheme of insane theories. Hell, our history books taught in schools are pretty dumb to believe.

This gentleman from Louisiana believes in only two genders.
Seems pretty sciency to me. 👍

I wonder how many genders his detractors believe there are.
Is the count up over 100 yet?

It's rather concerning not to say terrifying the speaker of the house hears voices he believes are coming from God......

Honestly dude.
That sounds scary.
A house of horrors it is.
Lord have mercy they are going to try and turn our kids into virgins.
Quick, bring on the Trans to read and entertain the kids before they hear something about morals.
Haven't we got that new Bible yet?
You know, the one up to date with all the correct pronouns.

Lord have mercy, what about the kids.
What about the kids?

This is a call to arms.
We cannot have this.

If we let this happen the next thing you know they will start back up the Boy Scouts and....and...and, THEY WILL ONLY ALLOW BOYS.

We must organize.
What can we cancel?

I too find it very difficult to understand why this particular story is so special.

I know right? Mike should have stuck with his original thought; That he was meant to be Aaron, to Trump's Moses. Maybe he can still walk it back!

Because it is the mind trap that fostered Western Civilization.
