It Would Make A Great Novel, Though

I’m not saying this wouldn’t be epically cool, I’m just saying the pyramids didn’t happen this way.

 

Maybe all of creationism is the result of somebody misshelving Dinotopia in the nonfiction section? I always thought it had stemmed from another book that keeps getting mistaken for nonfiction, but you never know.

 

Also, if you think I spent any time thinking about how much fun I could have if my name was “Dr. Borg,” then you clearly know me too well.

 

(Thanks to jaylake, whose comment was, “Further proof that the term “Creation science” isn’t just an oxymoron, it’s a clinical diagnosis.” True dat.)

I read that article a few days ago too and my immediate thoughts were 1) that's dumb, and 2) heh, "We are Dr. Borg..."

I just need to scream with frustration for a moment ... *screams for a minute* okay, better now.

Srsly, what bullshit. I'm happy for people to have faith and beliefs and stuff ... I admire it, if only because it astounds me that people can blindly believe in things. It is a skill I lack. I cannot even suspend disbelief at the movies. But why, WHY, in the name of all that is holy, are they allowed to teach CHILDREN something so unutterably WRONG? And so easily disproved, at that!

Argh! Don't mind me, I'm just venting a bit ...

Clinical diagnosis is right. It seems to go along with egomania too, have you noticed? All these religious leaders who start their own schools seem less concerned with proper worship for God than they are for their own publicity. 'You can quote me!' indeed.
