I found this story over at Unreasonable Faith, which is a fitting title for this story. Because as far as I can tell, Mike Beard–one of God’s GOPeeps (state representative in Minnesota)–does seem completely unreasonable (and seemingly, he lacks good sense). Okay, maybe he’s brilliant in other areas… but regarding this one, he lacks sense (and that’s being nice about it).

[Beard] recently argued that coal mining should resume in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, in part because he believes God has created an earth that will provide unlimited natural resources.

“God is not capricious. He’s given us a creation that is dynamically stable,” Beard told MinnPost. “We are not going to run out of anything.”

Beard is currently in the midst of drafting legislation that would overturn Minnesota’s moratorium on coal-fired power plants, an effort that he backs due to his religious belief that God will provide limitless resources while ensuring that humans don’t destroy the planet trying to get them.
