Rubio was interviewed for GQ's December issue, and most of the interview is comprised of legitimate questions, but then all of a sudden out of no where comes:
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.Rubio did a great job of answering the question but it was an obvious attempt to saddle the Florida Senator with the "right wing extremist" "anti-science" tag. The next time a Democrat is asked a question like that...it will be the first time.
As far as the liberal media, it is the first shot across the Rubio bow. The will undoubtedly interpret Rubio’s answer as “He thinks the earth was formed two weeks ago last Tuesday.” The inference is this: every time you vote for a religious conservative, a secularist gets thrown in prison, or something like that.

I think he handled that question quite well. This is what our people need to be prepared for. The enemy scum--and by enemy scum I mean the press--will do all in there power to bring our candidates down. It's just what they do, because they hate our guts. We have to be prepared. No GOP candidate should ever, ever do a press interview without getting extensive coaching beforehand. As Republicans we need to recognize that all MSM are our enemies and be prepared to repell their assaults. This is the battlespace we have and we just need to deal with it and fight through it.
INTELLIGENCE!!! That is what scares the SH*T out of Liberals! WTG Marco!
Rudio's answer was okay. I think it would benefit him to shorten his answers though. The more you talk the greater the chance of saying something stupid to be used against you.
}}} I think it would benefit him to shorten his answers though.
Indeed. The bold added here is how he should have terminated the answer quickly, and thrown it back in the idiot interviewer's face:
Marco Rubio: I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says. What does this have to do with the economy? How many people does this give a job to?
