I wonder
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 09:08 PM by YankeyMCC
if we could get some fundie to push for teaching that the Earth is the center of the universe in public schools.

I don't see why they couldn't use the same kind of thinking to "disprove" or "cast doubt" on the theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun and the sun is part of a galaxy, etc, etc... that they use for evolution.

The reason I'm wondering is - and perhaps I'm being overly optomistic - is that then the public would finally see the idiocy of this "creationist" crap.

And even if that is to optomistic at least it'd be funny. :)

1. Don't wonder!
Absolutely anything can be "proved" with the faith-based logic. And if it's too hard, well, there's always the "mysterious ways" in which the super-entity is supposed to work.
