Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) declined to say how old he thought the earth was in an interview with GQ magazine, saying instead that he's "not a scientist" and that it's "one of those great mysteries."

GQ
: How old do you think the Earth is?

Marco Rubio:
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.

Dude is torn between catering to the Party of Stupid and his own educated upbringing. First he says it's a dispute among theologians... and seconds later he needs to be a scientist to answer that.

What a great answer. He basically said leave that argument to personal beliefs and let's constraint on the real problems. I love it .

Yet he's not hesitant to express his view that only heterosexuals should be allowed to marry and he isn't afraid to explain on what authority he arrives to that conclusion. :whistle:

The word constraint doesn't mean what you think it means.

Obliviously I mean concentrate

the age of the earth and our social construct are two very different items.

What a stupid question to ask. He should have just said very old ... cant go wrong with that.

I'm guessing the "rape" questions will be back out in the midterms.

It is political suicide (on the right) to say the earth is more than 6,000 years old.

Wrong again,

many Christians believe the Bible in not clear on this topic, sure Genesis gives a 6 day time table but The Bible also says "a thousand years is as a day and a day is a thousand years".

Many people look at the Genesis account and can't help but notice it does seem to mirror a form of evolution with man being the final step.

He could have said something like-

"I'm not a scientist nor theologian, in fact I have all that I can handle serving the people of Florida but one thing I am certain of and that is the Hand of God, was the creator."

What would have been wrong or misleading about that?
