Time to round out our visit to the turn of the 20th Century -- as seen through the lens of rightwing Christian textbooks -- with a brief discussion of the dangerous ideas that began infecting the world in the late 19th century.
I sympathize with your frustration as far as a childless man can, but I'm not sure what skills would help. It took Whitehead and Russell until page 86 of Vol II to prove that 1 + 1 = 2, so working it out from first principles may not be feasible.
Did Adam get around to clearing up the small matter of when the rest of the critters were made? Genesis I says before Adam, Genesis II says afterwards. (It just seems like something the iiteral Truthers <i>ought</i> to take an interest in.)
Just, you know, <i>&quot;asking the question.&quot;</i>
Even with CGI, getting eight million critters into that boat is going to be a challenge. Unless it&#039;&#039;s &quot;bigger on the inside,&quot; and I&#039;m not sure how well a TARDIS will fly with the literalist loons.
Sheesh . . . this is <i>Wonkette</i>. &quot;I read it on the internet&quot; is more than adequate as a citation - in fact, it&#039;s just assumed.
Once they get rid of them godless <i>Arabic</i> numerals, the rest of the math curriculum goes down the tubes pretty quickly. Long division with Roman numerals will keep the kiddies busy for months.
What the cartoon fails to show is the sheer precipice beyond the top step, where a bunch of religious nutters have taken a flying &quot;leap of faith.&quot; The guys walking back are thinking to themselves &quot;Fuck that shit.&quot;
The only skill most kids use today is the calculator. As a teacher (History and English, most definitely NOT math), I am constantly shocked by how little the current crop of students have of that basic math reference material in their brain. Rote learning has its place for those things. I am totally stupid at math, but by god I know my times tables, and they save me time.
I had to memorize the prepositions followed by the ablative case in Latin ( a, cum, de, ex, in, sine,pro,sub). And noun declensions (puella, puellae, etc, etc.) As far as I know, there is no other way to do it.
Besides, I doubt that any other country flipped sides as quickly or as often as you guys did, back in the day. Henry VIII before divorce: Burn the Protestants! Henry VIII after divorce: Hang, draw and quarter the Catholics! Edward VI: more of the same Mary: Burn the Protestants! Elizabeth: Hang, draw and quarter the Catholics! Charles I: chop off the Puritans&#039; ears It would have made it difficult to decide which religion to follow, when you never knew what the next monarch would do. Which is a bog reason why James II got shown the door and Wiliiam and Mary were invited over in 1688/9.

I have good news . . . and bad news.
Could also eliminate computing courses, because al-Kwarismi. Although, without al-jabr, you really lack necessary groundwork for programming anyway.
Wait &#039;til God finds out that they&#039;re giving <i>me</i> credit for evolution!

Sounds like a CPAC meeting.

More like <i>captured.</i>

Even with a chaser of that shit the Canadians call whisky?
There is no better book than Lord of Light.
