No doubt he is paid to tell such nonsense. His AIG CV tells us that he is a Lutheran, something unusual in these activist circles. Even though WELS rejects science when it comes to evolution and many LCMS folks do as well, they tend not to turn it into a political argument and, because of their long history of running their own schools, don't try to inflict their falsehoods on public schools. <br /><br />Menton appears to belong to the CLC, a small church body that broke off from WELS when WELS was still affiliated with LCMS because WELS was too tolerant of LCMS 'liberalism'. I don't know if his anti-science activism is just personal or reflects a CLC-wide decision to publicly attack reality.Free Lunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272965187978654322noreply@blogger.com
