Mike Stark, while he was roaming around the Conservative Political Action Conference, caught up with Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine, Calif.) and had a couple questions for the longtime representative.

So I was going to try to ask all the candidates how old they thought the earth was.

Is it 6,000 years old as the fundie base claims?

Or is it 4 billion years old as every sane person in the world accepts?

Well, you know me – I had to get there kind of circuitously; I couldn’t just come right out and ask the question.

Man, was I surprised at the answer I got…

Duncan Hunter said – I’m not kidding – you can hear it yourself, “the complexities of life manifest something more than a half-assed creation.”

I was actually standing next to Mike and Rep. Hunter during this exchange. I didn’t scribe Hunter’s answer, but I remember him really not wanting to talk with Mike – he was in palm-pressing mode.

Something to say?
