And we drift farther and farther from the point of this thread. There is a member of Congress who is chairman of a science sub committee who does not believe in science. it would seem that some here see his 'opinion' on this as being as valid the scientifically proven theories that he denies and which his committee is supposed to support.
The Committee on Science, Space, and Technology has jurisdiction over all energy research, development, and demonstration, and projects therefor, and all federally owned or operated non-military energy laboratories; astronautical research and development, including resources, personnel, equipment, and facilities; civil aviation research and development; environmental research and development; marine research; commercial application of energy technology; National Institute of Standards and Technology, standardization of weights and measures and the metric system; National Aeronautics and Space Administration; National Science Foundation; National Weather Service; outer space, including exploration and control thereof; science scholarships; scientific research, development, and demonstration, and projects therefor. The Committee on Science, Space, and Technology shall review and study on a continuing basis laws, programs, and Government activities relating to non-military research and development.
Seems to be a bit of a conflict of interest but I guess to the faithful that matters not. And people wonder why the US is so far behind in regards to education.
