I think you can find a bed over that way.

It's a good thing there are no such things as ghosts or Darwin would be haunting some Louisiana school board members, for sure.

You want to know why this shit is stupid? REALLY stupid? It's because if, next week, we were to come across some land that time forgot, and found it crawling with living, breating T-Rexes and Stegosaurs, IT WOULD NOT MEAN THAT EVOLUTION IS WRONG. All it would mean is that not all the dinosaurs died 63 million years ago, so maybe the asteroid theory ain't right. Nothing to do with evolution, which proves that these fucktards, <i>who are writing fucking textbooks for children,</i> know nothing about it.

Just in case anybody got the idea that these ignorant cretins might be capable of logical thought.

Why? It's not as if they're going to pass a carbon tax anytime soon.

"carefully taught that you can safely ignore physical evidence if it conflicts with what you believe."

Perfect Republican children.

Fails miserably, doesn't it? The only one that makes "sense" is where god makes distant galaxies with their light already on its way to Earth. With this "universe as a practical joke" theory, you only have to explain god's peculiar sense of humor.

The evidence for Nessie is stronger than the evidence favoring tax cuts, too. The problem is that these imbeciles are immune to evidence.

Zombie James Clerk Maxwell would like a word with you. (Don't worry, he's got plenty of brains.)

<i>Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur.</i>

Oh my god! SHE DOES.

(I've never actually seen Nessie. Not "physically," anyway.)

I taught a kid who had been home-schooled by his preacher's-wife mother until he hit high school. In a discussion about the colonization of Africa, I said that the Europeans destroyed the social/cultural/religious systems that had existed there by converting them to Christianity. He picked up a book and read it in stoney, ostentatious silence til the end of class. I had offended. Oh, and guess what? He's now a public school teacher.
