It looks like we might slowly be winning the war on evolution, with Sylvia Allen being appointed to head the Arizona Senate's committee to oversee educational legislation. 
She has an outstanding track record for supporting real science. She has exposed the truth about chemtrails on her Facebook page.
She has said she supports mandatory church attendance.
And she rejects the evolution conspiracy:
It looks like a win for creation science.
Sylvia Allen, the GOP state Senator from Snowflake, AZ, believes the Earth is 6,000 years old. She will run the state Senate's committee to oversee educational legislation.
Allen also believes in chemtrails and mandatory church attendance.
She has promised to "focus on parents' responsibility in their children's education" -- a dogwhistle for those who advocate for abstinence-only sex education as well as a ban (or limits) on teaching evolution through natural selection as the origin of humankind.
Senate President Andy Biggs on Monday named Allen to lead a committee that acts as a gatekeeper for education-related legislation, such as Common Core and spending. Allen succeeds Sen. Kelli Ward, who resigned last week to run full-time in next year's GOP primary against Sen. John. McCain.
"She understands what Arizona students and parents need in our education system," Biggs said in a prepared statement. "She is a very experienced legislator and I know she will do a wonderful job."

Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, on Wednesday explained – but would not apologize – for a comment made Tuesday during a committee hearing saying Arizona should pass a law that people should have to go to church.
The original comment occurred during a vote on legislation to allow individuals who have permits to carry concealed weapons to bring them into public buildings. Allen said she did not understand the opposition and talked about moral breakdown.
“Probably we should be debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on Sunday to see if we can get back to having a moral rebirth,” adding “that would never be allowed.”
On Wednesday, Allen said that was a “flippant comment” but decried the changes since she was a child in the 1950s.
“People prayed, people went to church,” she said in explaining her views.
“I remember on Sundays the stores were closed,” Allen said. “The biggest thing is religion was kicked out of our public places, out of our schools.”
