Paul Broun, running for re-election unopposed by Democrats as Georgia representative next month, made the comments during a speech at a Baptist church last month. A videoclip of the event has been posted on YouTube.

Broun said theories about the origins of the universe and evolution represent "lies to try and keep me and all the folk that were taught that from understanding that they need a saviour".

His spokeswoman, Meredith Griffanti, told the Athens Banner-Herald in Georgia: "Dr Broun was speaking off the record to a large church group about his personal beliefs on religious issues."
