[quote:Anonymous Coward 28321242:MV8yMDYxMzgxXzM0Njc2ODIxXzRBQzM5M0NB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 18942840:MV8yMDYxMzgxXzM0Njc2NzU4Xzc3MDJGQTk0] I think it a fair answer. It is ridiculous that politicians are being asked to speak on areas which have no relevance to their ability to lead. The correct answer should always be, "I dont know, ask a scientist". I am sick of politicians using their leverage to speak on matters over which they have no authority. [/quote] I'm not a scientist, but I know how old the earth is... [/quote]

How old is the Earth? Scientists say 4.5 billion years. But Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) isn’t a scientist, so he’s not sure.
"
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.
