Abraham Lincoln may have figured out how to get the Thirteenth Amendment passed, but thatโs nothing compared to Marco Rubio, who only needed about three weeks to solve โone of the great mysteriesโ of the universe. After being widely chastised for telling GQ last month that he couldnโt say whether or not planet Earth was formed in seven days, as described in the Bible, the Presidential Hopefulโข changed his tune in a talk with Politico this morning:
The gist of Rubioโs answer is that he does, in fact, trust science on this question, and that science and faith in God donโt have to contradict each other. Which is fine, but also a bit different than his original answer. Rubio, of course, has an explanation for theย discrepancy:
โI wish I would have, you know, given a better answer, a more succinct answer, but, you know, we went from talking about hip hop and then it got pivoted to the Earth. I mean, Iโm not a robot, it got me off guard a little bit I guess.โ
Hey, weโve all been there: The topic of hip-hop comes up, and you momentarily forget whether or not you believe in a literal interpretation of theย Bible.
