Minnesota Republican Bob Frey: 'dinosaurs have always lived with man' [View all]

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/07/16/1314206/-Minnesota-Republican-Bob-Frey-dinosaurs-have-always-lived-with-man
The Minnesota Republican who claims AIDS is caused by sperm eating your colon is, it turns out, just full of top-notch science:

(Bob Frey) alleged in a 2004 appearance before the Minnesota State Senate Education Committee that the fossil record proves that “dinosaurs have always lived with man,” and such “real science” should be taught in public schools. (...)

Bluestem Prairie also reports that Frey used to run a group called Creation Science Seminars, which claimed that teaching Creationism would reduce the rate of violence that the theory of evolution had apparently brought upon communities.
