Another Republican steps into reality??? Could this be a trend?

“Look, I know that people will probably try to lynch me when I say this, but Bishop [James] Ussher wasn’t inspired by the Lord when he said that it all took 6,000 years,” the TV preacher explained. “It just didn’t. You go back in time, you’ve got radiocarbon dating. You got all these things and you’ve got the caucuses of dinosaurs frozen in time out in the Dakotas.”
“They’re out there,” he continued. “So, there was a time when these giant reptiles were on the Earth and it was before the time of the Bible. So, don’t try and cover it up and make like everything was 6,000 years. That’s not the Bible.”

Right or wrong, he's always been crazy. I have never ever known anyone on the right who has ever wasted a second of their life believing anything he says.

BTW - you don't date dinosaur fossils with radiocarbon dating. The half-life is way too short. He may have meant radioMETRIC dating, but I doubt he knows the difference.
