Verbatim

Buck Banks

The Earth will end only when God declares it’s time to be over. Man will not destroy this Earth. This Earth will not be destroyed by a Flood. I do believe that God’s word is infallible, unchanging, perfect.

— Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL), quoted in the Toronto Star, who claimed this week he is “uniquely qualified among a group of talented contenders to lead the Energy and Commerce Committee,” while noting that climate change should not concern us since God has already promised not to destroy the Earth.
