Letters: Believing a lie about evolution

Re “Lawmaker calls evolution ‘lies,’” Oct. 8

Does anybody else find it odd that a member of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee rejects the findings of mainstream science, publicly calling them “lies”? Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) is supposed to inform, guide and make decisions on national science policy.

Meanwhile, our standing in the world with regard to science and education continues its precipitous decline.
