Well here's a head-scratcher, courtesy of John Prager at Americans Against the Tea Party: a photo of a textbook that asks kids what they think -- did astronauts really go to the moon? Prager found this image on the interwebs and recalled it as something very similar to what he'd been taught as a child in a small Christian school using textbooks from A Beka and
</snark>Some years ago I was chasing down incidents on the intertubes of the scientific urban myth that polar bear hairs act like optic fibers (they don't.). Of course the fundies were using this "fact" to show how clever God was in designing something so clever, so useful that mankind would take 6000 years to reinvent. Now, to be fair, (a) they were quite polite about removing that claim when it was pointed out how stupid it was and (b) there were people on the opposite side of the ideological divide claiming that the same "fact" showed how clever Nature was at designing something so clever that it would take humans millions of years before.... </snark>
Gravity is really just a mutual agreement that stuff won't fly off the earth. Airplanes only fly because of nervous Italian men pulling up on the armrests of their seats. So don't gimme all that eff equals gee em one em two over r-squared fantasy.
The flag was supposed to be a flat, plastic square; my understanding is someone crumpled in en route and they left it that way.
If you send rockets into space, you're liable to hit God in the head.
I used to know what a cubit was.
Whatever the whether We&#039;ll whether the whether <i>weather: we like it or not.</i>

RWNJ? I hardly knew her.
Moon secrets, Sun secrets, Myung secrets....
God said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Epistemology for idiots.

See? Both sides do it!!
&#039;Weather... or not&#039;. Are they trying to sneak climate-change denial into the book, as well?
Everyone knows that the astronauts went to the moon and did something that causes the climate change.
After reading the material that is taught in his name, God prefers a double shot of Jack Daniels.
I&#039;m pretty sure that the sun is actually God&#039;s burning wrath.
This idea fills me with great happiness.
