Before he was House speaker, Mike Johnson represented a creationist museum in court. Here’s what that episode reveals about his politics

Johnson has effusively praised Ark Encounter as "a strategic and really creative … way to bring people to this recognition of the truth that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events." 

Johnson also shares with AiG's Ham that government should not intervene when it comes to global warming, particularly given that, like Ham, he does not believe "that the climate is changing because we drive SUVs." 

He also shares with the folks at AiG the conviction that belief in evolution results in immoral behavior. For example, Johnson has blamed school shootings on the fact that "we have taught a whole generation … of Americans that there is no right and wrong. It's all about survival of the fittest, and you evolve from primordial slime," and so "why is that life of any sacred value?"
