In an interview in the December issue of GQ, Marco Rubio touches on the creationism debate when reporter Michael Hainey asks him how old the Earth is. “I’m not a scientist. I don’t think I’m qualified to answer a question like that,” the Florida senator said. “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.”
