The Crow's Nest

“I’m not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that’s a dispute amongst theologians and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States. I think the age of the universe has zero to do with how our economy is going to grow. I’m not a scientist. I don’t think I’m qualified to answer a question like that. At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all. I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says. Whether the Earth was created in seven days, or seven actual eras, I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to answer that. It’s one of the great mysteries.”

—Florida Senator Marco Rubio in an interview with GQ magazine.

“They took me out and they arrested me for nothing in my opinion.”

—Samantha Chavez, 28, a Black Friday shopper, to Central Florida News 13 after being arrested in an Altamonte Springs Walmart for disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence for skipping ahead of a long checkout line.
