Carnival of Creationist Cronies
Right Wing Nut House » ANOTHER PERPLEXING BUSH APPOINTMENT
For Deputy Director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), President Bush has appointed Paul Bonicelli, recent dean of academic affairs at Patick Henry College
… whose motto is: “For Christ and Liberty”. This ultra-fundamentalist institution requires its students and faculty to sign a “statement of faith” declaring that they believe “Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, is God come in the flesh”, “Jesus Christ literally rose bodily from the dead”, and Hell is a place where “all who die outside of Christ shall be confined in conscious torment for eternity”.
That’s not all. Patrick Henry College also requires its “science” professors to sign a statement saying they believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible that says the world was created in 6 days. Here is the school’s own statement:
‘Creation. Any biology, Bible or other courses at PHC dealing with creation will teach creation from the understanding of Scripture that God’s creative work, as described in Genesis 1:1–31, was completed in six twenty–four hour days. All faculty for such courses will be chosen on the basis of their personal adherence to this view.
God just poofed us all into existence in a week.
This is not just some fine print on the back of some group that Bonicelli once volunteered for. He is the dean of academic affairs at this “close-cover-(and-minds)-before-striking” college.
And he is going to help direct our aid for international development. How about we develop a little domestically first?
Don’t miss the Rick’s comment section. He and I are bigots.
