Saw a church bus that advertised they taught "creation science"

[AllyCat]

and I had to wonder what scientific method they were using to teach creation. All the girls dressed in long, ankle-length skirts (?). They caught a frog or toad or something in the woods and circled around to say a prayer or something before releasing the creature.

What science could it be?

I cannot help but wonder what kind of nut would refute certain investigations of the world their own god has made, while accepting others.

1. Can I start teaching "evolution religion"?

:crazy:

[sui generis]

2. please recite the schrodinger wave prayer first

followed by three Hail Einsteins.

[unpossibles]

3. well, it fits with their "evolution myth" spin

<joke> I want schools to start teaching "Intelligent Falling" instead of the theory of gravity. And maybe we can burn the people who look like witches just in case.</joke>

8. Flying Spaghetti Monster

Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is a satirical parody religion created to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to allow intelligent design to be taught in science classes alongside evolution.

The "religion" has become an Internet phenomenon that has garnered many "followers" of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (sometimes referring to themselves as "Pastafarians," a pun on Rastafarians) who claim to have been touched by "His Noodly Appendage" and preach the word of their "noodly master" as the one true religion. Their prayers to "Him" are typically ended by "Ramen", instead of "Amen". Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is primarily the invention of Bobby Henderson, a graduate of Oregon State University with a degree in physics.

10. I want a job as science teacher at that school

Granted, I have no credible scientific background and only a basic, college-level knowledge of science. I especially disliked biology.

But, then again, it seems like a very easy job since I don't have to actually know anything.

I am a very lazy man, and I think I would enjoy getting paid to sit back and tell students "God did it" all day, every day, year after year, without ever having to do any real work.

After all, its "creation science". The answer to any question is "look in the Bible". And anything that disproves your assertion is just "junk science" or "only a theory"

13. It's hard work, but I think you'd be up to the task. You're hired! nt

11. we're now third world

12. Oh it's just numbers

Numbers arranged in healthy patterns that look nice to 'intellectual' christians, but not to anyone else, because they all rely on the unexplanable. That's their definition of science.
