Ben Bridges has been a Georgia State Representative since January 1997 and serves on Committees for Banks and Banking, Public Utilities and Telecommunications and Rules. He is an active member of the First Baptist Church in the slightly freaky Alpine Helen (a mountain community with a touch of Bavaria
)- which we visited, incidentally, back in 2001.

Unfortunately, Rep. Bridges is tangled up in a little problem caused by the husband of his campaign manager, one Marshall Hall, who has written a memo asking lawmakers to end teaching evolution in state schools because it is a deception that is causing incalculable harm to every student and every truth-loving citizen
. The memo points to indispuitable evidence
that this evolution thing is a rumour put about by mystical anti-Christian Jews, on the lunatic ‘fixed earth’ website, called after its other obsession - that Copernicus got it wrong and the earth doesn’t go round the sun and isn’t rotating.
Bridges, who unsuccessfully sponsored legislation to require Georgia’s teachers to introduce scientific evidence challenging evolution is reported as saying or the memo,
I agree with it more than I would the Big Bang Theory or the Darwin Theory. I am convinced that rather than risk teaching a lie why teach anything
