On Friday I wrote about Rep. Paul Broun, who unbelievably serves on the House Science Committee, and said the following:

“All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell,” Broun said. “And it’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.” 

Since Friday these statements have received a LOT of attention from all kinds of media outlets.

And then finally it came to Bill Nye's attention, who made the following statement:

"Since the economic future of the United States depends on our tradition of technological innovation, Representative Broun's views are not in the national interest," Nye told The Huffington Post in an email. "For example, the Earth is simply not 9,000 years old," he continued, contradicting a remark made by Broun later in the video. "He is, by any measure, unqualified to make decisions about science, space, and technology."

Well Professor Nye is not the ONLY one who feels that way, and to prove it there is now a petition demanding the removal of Broun from that House Science Committee.

As of this writing there are already 44,014 signatures. Won't you take a moment to add your voice to those who want to protect the integrity of American science from these Bible thumping morons?

Perhaps once these superstitions assholes are kept as far away as possible from our ability to conduct scientific research we can start to catch up to the rest of the world who seem to be leaving us in the dust lately.
