Who is responsible for the twisted religious spinning of science, animated show called

Superbook?

First, I turned on the t.v. and it came on Channel 79, which is labeled FREFMHD. I never have gone to that channel on my own. But, it was automatically on. There were two animated characters giving a speech to an audience. The kids's uniform were fashioned Star Trek style. And it sounded a lot like brainwashing. It was a twisted speech about how religion could take credit for every scientific finding and advancement.

I don't know what to think about it, because it does have the purpose of trying to make science palpable to religious people.

Right now, I'm perplexed.

Pat Robertson's network.
There was a Japanese anime series in the 80s by that name.
CBN appropriated the name about 10 years ago.
