Creationist Lawmaker Says Noah’s Ark Was Found, Rocks Prove God Created Earth

What does "heliocentric circles in rocks" mean?

Is he claiming that the sun is the center of the universe?

Tried to google it, but dound nothing.

The dude is a bit dim. Probably meant radiohalos.
Radiohalos or pleochroic halos are microscopic, spherical shells of discolouration within minerals such as biotite that occur in granite and other igneous rocks.
Robert V. Gentry studied halos which appeared to have arisen from Po-218 rather than U-238 and concluded that solid rock must have been created with these polonium inclusions, which decayed with a half-life of 3 minutes. They could not have been formed from molten rock which took many millennia to cool (the standard theory) because polonium decays in a few minutes. This is taken by creationists as evidence that the Earth was formed instantaneously (Gentry 1992).

I need to see the pictures for confirmation.

You know I'm going to ignore the fact that humans did not evolve from gorillas and just question something else about that statement. Why are we stopping at gorillas? The gorillas had to come from somewhere too! And saying something like "Humans evolved from fish? Then why do we still have fish?" makes evolution sound way more outlandish.

Humans didn't evolve from Gorillas. We shared a common ancestor with Gorillas millions of years ago. We or rwally mamals shared a common ancestor with fish billions of years ago. There's nothing outlandish at all about it. Is there any problems you have with evolution other than its weird? Cause to be honest a lot of science is pretty wierd. That doesn't make it less true.

Edit:NM being dumb :p

You're misreading that post. He's on your side.

He was saying the example used by creationists to mock evolution should be more outlandish. Instead of comparing us to something like a gorilla, which we actually look sorta like, why not compare us to something far, far different from us, like fish.

"If we evolved from monkeys, why we still got monkeys??" --> "If we evolved from fish, why we still got fish??"
