Theology and Science = Oil and Water

I typically try to avoid posting about topics dealing with politics, unfortunately this isn't always possible sometimes science and politics mix. As seen in this video and posted about here and here a GOP leader, Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.), basically says that we don't have to worry about climate change because God promised Noah that he wouldn't flood the world again.



Now I have no problem with people believing what they want as far as religion is concerned but when you put these people in positions of power I feel that I must say something. What makes this worse is that Rep. Shimkus is trying to head up the House Energy and Commerce Committee. This is the committee that will be in charge of climate policy and his influence could set back support for alternative energy policy by years.
