The Creation Science Fair

[ink-stained wretch]

Relax and stand down. Just some creatively twisted individuals with too much time on their hands.

 

[Overrated]

A couple of these projects show the kids are on their way to enjoying a long, happy, well-adjusted life:

"Mousetrap Reduced To Pile Of Functionless Parts" - Kevin Parker (grade 7)
Mousetrap, meet hammer. Hammer, mousetrap.

"Thermodynamics Of Hell Fire" - Tom Williamson (grade 12)
"Son, why did you set fire to the cat?"
"Science fair, dad."

Patricia Lewis (grade 8) did an experiment to see if life can evolve from non-life. Patricia placed all the non-living ingredients of life - carbon (a charcoal briquet), purified water, and assorted minerals (a multi-vitamin) - into a sealed glass jar. The jar was left undisturbed, being exposed only to sunlight, for three weeks. (Patricia also prayed to God not to do anything miraculous during the course of the experiment, so as not to disqualify the findings.) No life evolved. This shows that life cannot come from non-life through natural processes.
Hey Patricia, there's a reason your "experiment" didn't create life. Something miraculous DID happen. It's a ****ing miracle this ridiculously lazy idea was allowed. This isn't a science experiment, it's three things people have laying under their refrigerator. Try it there and you'll have a different outcome. Those things turn into mold and roaches, you dumb *****.

The fact you called an eighth grade girl a "dumb *****" and seemingly mean it has my eyes watering.

If it's a hoax, it's pretty elaborate. They even have "Dinosaur & Man" coffee mugs

Reminds me of a great magazine piece I read once describing a trip to a creationist museum. They had life-sized models of dinosaurs -- wearing saddles for when the cavemen rode around on them.

Definitely not a real site. Higher being help us if it is.

I need that on a t-shirt.

There wasn't that option? Only the mug?

Is that the T-Rex Whisperer?

You know, I would take it seriously if it was drawn to proper scale.

Actually, the guy with the staff is giving the dino directions: "You hang a left at the ark, the Garden of Eden is about a quarter-mile down on your right, look for the big neon sign for Eve's Apple Stand ..."

It was an Esquire piece by Charlie Pierce--Welcome to Idiot America.

Charlie Pierce is a great American, by the way.

 

[WaylonJennings]

It's comforting to know that one of these people is now the possible next VP of the United States.

You know, this is just not a version of Pissing Calvin I thought I'd ever see
