ON THE RECORD: Apr 22, 2014: Josh Kilburn (Americans Against the Tea Party) posted an article titled: "Mark Your Calendars! Pat Robertson Says Asteroid to Destroy Earth Next Week (Video)." I only want to draw attention to one problem with the story and that is that Pat Robertson did not say an asteroid will destroy the earth next week. In fact, Kilburn quoted what Robertson said, and even that shows Robertson did not say that. What Robertson said was basically that he did not know: "It could be next week, or it could be a 1,000 years from now, but nevertheless we want to be ready at whatever time the Lord says ‘I’m wrapping it up, it’s time to come home.’" No date attached.

OP/ED BYTE: Feb 18, 2014: Paul Prather (Lexington Herald Leader), in light of the debate between Ken Ham and Bill Nye on evolution, wrote: "I was blindsided by Christian TV personality Pat Robertson. He's about the most conservative evangelical guy on this planet. Possibly for several planets around. Yet it turns out he's not a strict creationist like Ham, who holds that the Earth was created, as-is, by God in six 24-hour days, a few thousand years ago. Instead, Robertson believes the world's life forms evolved over tens of billions of years, as Nye does. He said the science behind evolution is indisputable. "To say that it all came about in 6,000 years is just nonsense," Robertson declared on The 700 Club. "Let's be real," he added. "Let's not make a joke of ourselves." He does assume God was behind the Big Bang: "I believe that God started it all, and he's in charge of all of it." (Hard to believe, but I agree with Pat Robertson about evolution)

Feb 8, 2014: AlterNet: 10 Right-Wing Psychopaths' Vitriol this Week—That Somehow Made Pat Robertson Look Reasonable
1. Pat Robertson: Voice of reason? Truly, we must have entered the end times. The day after creationist Ken Ham denied reality for several hours in a “debate” with Bill Nye about evolution and the age of the earth, Pat Robertson implored Ham to shut-up, because he’s making fundamentalist Christians look stupid. It appears that Pat Robertson has allowed his brain to be corrupted by a little bit of science. Now his head might explode.

Pat Robertson is the founder and chancellor of Regent University, a faith-based college in Virginia. Hallowell reports: "Regent, which pledges to offer “Christian leadership to change the world,” recently launched a new open online platform called LUXVERA, which means “light and truth” — an education tool that offers free college courses and a series of talks from political, legal and religious minds." The platform is currently free for anyone who wishes to gain access and new classes will be added in February. "Eventually, Robertson said the goal is to have “courses that will lead to a four-year baccalaureate degree. LUXVERA, he said, was created to meet the widespread demand for college education that exists around the globe."

He presently serves as Chancellor of Regent University and Chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network. Robertson has a career as the founder of several major organizations and corporations as well as a university: The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), the International Family Entertainment Inc.

The son of U.S. Senator A. Willis Robertson, Robertson is a Southern Baptist and was active as an ordained minister with that denomination for many years, but holds to a charismatic theology not traditionally common among Southern Baptists. He unsuccessfully campaigned to become the Republican Party's nominee in the 1988 presidential election. As a result of his seeking political office, he no longer serves in an official role for any church. His media and financial resources make him a recognized, influential, and controversial public voice for conservative Christianity in the United States.
