The GeorgiaRep. Paul Broun said in videotaped remarks on Sept. 27 that evolution, embryology and the Big Bang Theory are "lies straight from the pit of hell" meant to convince people that they do not need a savior. The Republican lawmaker made those comments during a speech at a sportsman's banquet at Liberty Baptist Church in Hartwell. Broun, a medical doctor, is running for re-election in November unopposed by Democrats.
