Congressman: "Evolution, Big Bang Theory, lies straight from the pit of hell!"

[John Dibble]

Ok, evolution and big bang theory are typically targets for these kinds of nuts, but I'm wondering why he's including embryology in his list. Embryology is just the study of how embryos develop until it becomes a fetus - is he saying embryos don't develop into fetuses? Or is he saying that embryos are possessed by Satan?

What exactly does this troll hope to accomplish by saying these things?

Normally I'd say getting votes, but he's running unopposed.

[John Dibble]

I think Republicans should be banned from the Science Committee.

I don't know about that, but maybe a litmus test on evolution/women's anatomy/climate change views should be considered.

Perhaps if we can add a litmus test on generically modified organisms and nuclear energy.

Should I be worried that I initially read that reply as referring to a litmus test on "genetically modified orgasms"?

No, I did the same. That's probably what he meant anyways. The r key is right next to the t on they keyboard, so likely a typo.

To be fair, The Big Bang Theory is awful.

Really?  Why do you think that?  It seems to be the leading theory these days, with substantial evidence backing it up. I just got a refresher course went I went to watch a program at the Griffith Park Planetarium in LA a few months ago.

He's talking about the sitcom of the same name.
