Our latest Christianist textbook, Biology For Christian Schools by William Pinkston (2nd Ed., Bob Jones University Press, 1994) is actually something of a classic, if by "classic" you mean "the focus of mockery and derision by professional biologists" and "so bad that students taught with it were
Pretty much every damned thing in the earth would have to be there to fool us - the ratios of the elements (faked to look like they were made by nucleosynthesis in stars), dozens and dozens of isotope ratios (all of them faked to make everything is billions of years old), layers of sediments, layers of glaciers, even tree rings can be correlated (I mean, look just as if they can be correlated) to about 15,000 years ago. And there's the cosmos: the galaxies, the black holes, the red shifts, the cosmic background radiation, everything perfectly faked to look like it's all 13 billion years old.
The whole fucking universe is one gigantic practical joke on humanity, if these morons are to be believed.
Given their 50% pass rates at the bar exam -- and the fact that Bachmann is one of their brighter lights -- the plan is working about as well as one might expect. It's hard to imagine any of them making it to the bench, let alone enough to make a difference.
Simple explanations appeal to simple minds -- that's hardly something to be envied.

Religion is as much an excuse for slaughter as a cause; guys like Stalin and Mao had little difficulty dispensing with it entirely. The fraction of art, literature and architecture, across all cultures, that was inspired by religion is actually quite astonishing.

Click through or pay up, it&#039;s your choice.
I'm more concerned with is the Bible even accurate, because of the political nature of how the end product was put together.
All I ask is that you take a moment to visualize a world without Newsmax ads and burned-out writers. We can do it, with your help.

&quot;Honk if you love Jesus. Text if you want to meet him.&quot;
Because he&#039;s waving around a 2,000-year-old book of fables. Obvioulsy, that means that he&#039;s right.

And here we&#039;ve been wondering what dark matter is made of.
