Stop the presses: Pat Robertson enticingly close to reasonable in rejecting Ken Ham's 6,000-year-old planet.

There's something almost epochal about Robertson, who has been batshit goofy in so many bizarre pronouncements for so very long, waxing quite near coherence on the topic of dinosaur bones and rock formations.

Of course, it all remains rooted in the doctrine of necessary mover, linked by theists with unverifiable notions of a supreme being. At least Robertson accepts scientific tenets of evolution. The net effect is to render Ken Ham and his drone followers more laughable than before ... and how is that possible?

Pat Robertson implores creationist Ken Ham to shut up: ‘Let’s not make a joke of ourselves’, by Scott Kaufman (The Raw Story)

Pat Robertson responded to the recent debate between Young Earth creationist Ken Ham and Bill Nye, a.k.a. “The Science Guy,” by reiterating his disagreement with Ham’s form of creationism.

“Let’s face it,” Robertson said, “there was a Bishop [Ussher] who added up the dates listed in Genesis and he came up with the world had been around for 6,000 years.”

“There ain’t no way that’s possible,” he continued. “To say that it all came about in 6,000 years is just nonsense and I think it’s time we come off of that stuff and say this isn’t possible.”
