US ambassador killed over a film

The problem is that some people in government use scientists like this to say that "scientists disagree on the evolution versus creationism debate" and then use that claim to pursue their own religious agenda to insert the teaching of creationism as "science" in schools.

Bringing this up again because it makes me angry.

This US Congressman is somehow serving on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.

“All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, the Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell. And it’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”

He also believes that the Earth is "but about 9,000 years old".

“That’s the reason, as your congressman, I hold the holy Bible as being the major directions to me of how I vote in Washington, D.C., and I’ll continue to do that,”

WHY DOES THIS PERSON SERVE ON A SCIENCE COMMITTEE?
