I'm not a Senator, but the evidence seems to indicate that the Senate is largely a steaming pile of sycophants due to the inappropriate influence of money and religion, so I guess I have to acknowledge that the Senate exists.

Hey this is a fun game!

Will the Senate vote that the speed of light is an absolute limit in nature? Or will they say <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Michelson&ndash\;Morley_experiment" target="_blank">Michelson-Morley's</a>? results were a hoax?

Will they vote that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old? Or will they say that is a hoax perpetrated by the radiometric dating industry (for grant money)?

Also if you're not a Bishop, a Pope, or an Angel, how can you speak about what God does and doesn't do to the climate?

What proof do you have other than a very old book that contradicts even basic planetary realities?

Civilized people should not base governance on myths and superstitions. LIKE THE FOUNDING FATHERS SAID PRETTY DAMN CLEARLY
