Creationist Picked As Trump's Education Secretary

[Coyotl]

No longer fresh news, but a good read. Here's the gist:

Betsy DeVos Picked As President-Elect Donald Trump's Education Secretary

....... Two weeks ago, bets were on Dr Ben Carson to be picked, a highly qualified neurosurgeon who simultaneously believed the Earth was no older than 10,000 years old. He also once said the Biblical figure Joseph built the Egyptian pyramids to store grain. As you can imagine, the scientific community was pretty stressed about the idea of this guy setting education policy. ............

DeVos ... has never professionally worked in the public education system.

She grew up as a member of the Christian Reformed Church in North America and was educated at Calvin College, the educational institution of the same church.

This is a protestant denomination that believes that “all scientific theories be subject to Scripture and the confessions.” It also claims that “humanity is created in the image of God; all theorizing that minimizes this fact and all theories of evolution that deny the creative activity of God are rejected.”

2. Dutch Reformed Church!

They're Calvanists. Predestinationalists: no number of good deeds will save your miserable immortal soul from eternal torture, your destination in the afterlife was predetermined. Only the preselected get to heaven.

It is a horrible religion, and their world headquarters is in Grand Rapids, MI where half the buildings downtown are named DeVos and where they roll up the sidewalks on Sundays.

And yes, the DeVos family got rich with the AmWay pyramid scam.
