[UK]Leader of the Lib Dems resigns claiming religious persecution

The gestation of the Church of England is a laughable (tragic too) pile of horseshit.  How it could even be remotely taken any more seriously than Mormonism or Scientology is a wonder of the ages.

Well you see, it's the One True Christian FaithTM, as God was simply working divinely through Henry VIII to let him legally bone Anne Boleyn. He's an awesome wingman like that.

I have never heard anything about Tim Farron and creationism and I am a fervent reader of all things relating to English politics.
The question that did him in was when he was asked about was his views on homosexuality and he fudged the answer, saying something along the lines that that was a private view. Which would have been ok if he wasn't trying to be Prime Minister.

A google search of Tim Farron and his views on creationism garnered zero relevant hits.

He was also asked questions about his beliefs of the age of the earth on campaign and ducked them.

Links please I  watched the election like a hawk and saw nothing of that. Another search and zero hits.

Henry was having people burnt up for heresy on the catholic and protestant sides of things simultaneously.
