April Fools?

Unfortunately, not.

The God curriculum

The American religious Right are increasingly turning to home-schooling, lest their children be exposed to the evils of sex, drugs or – heaven forbid – Darwin. Sally Williams reports on education the creationist way....

'We don't want people teaching our children that they come from monkeys,' says Michelle McKissick, 40, from Houston, who teaches her four children at home. What happens in biology classrooms is 'a lie', she says, before instructing me in the 'correct' view: Genesis 1.11 – not a metaphor, or a story, but fact. She firmly believes that the world is only 6,000 years old and that, consequently, man and dinosaurs (created on Day Six, along with Adam and Eve) once lived together quite happily...

But what you're wondering is, how did they cram all those monstrous dinosaurs aboard Noah's Ark????

And as for the vexing question of how Noah got a brachiosaurus, an animal that could have weighed up to 33 tons and eaten 3,000lb of green plants a day on to the Ark – 'He took the young ones. That would make the most sense.'

See? They were baby dinosaurs.

These people give us lovely pro-science homeschoolers a bad name. The whole point of homeschooling was to spend all day in the science museum!

Luckily, my family looks/has weird enough names that people tend to realize we're not THOSE homeschoolers.

Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

I was telling a co-worker about the Creationist Museum, and she didn't believe that it existed. So I pulled up their website, and we started looking at it, and getting madder and madder by the nanosecond.

I thought the dinosaurs all died in the Flood. The same one that created the Grand Canyon.

'He took the young ones. That would make the most sense.'

Now that's what we call creative thinking to prop up nonsense.

Baby Dinosaurs? It all makes sense now!

Oh, and by "makes sense" I mean "sounds even crazier"

They had Christianity Awareness Month here at the university in October and I think they actually had a panel of some sort on the creationism=SCIENCE thing. My thought was "Is anyone here actually not aware of Christianity? Does it warrant it's own Awareness Month?" I mean Islam only got an Awareness Week and I'd say they have more of a problem with being misunderstood. My school is conservative enough as it is, thanks.
