Grumpy

From Pandagon, a Creation Science Fair. A taste:

Okay, it's probably a parody, and I'm probably the last to find out. They've even got an entire page denouncing Landover Baptist. But hoax or not, it's funny stuff.

No, it is kidding. It's a spoof site.

I don't quite see the point, since reality is no less ridiculous than the mockery...

What's really scary is some of the apparently real sites they're parodying. Check out the TCCSA Science Fair site.

From the site:

And from the SCIENCE FAIR CREATION SCIENCE TOPICS page on that site, some of my favorite (but rather scary) suggestions for science fair projects:

3. Make a computer model of the Flood currents.
4. Statistical occurrence of giants, and midgets and dwarfs and giantism. Use Princess Flo, Goliath, and brothers.
5. What can we learn from the Amish blood disease and sixth finger? Compare this to the half Jewish Samaritans. (Bob H. may have info on this).
6. Build and run studies on a strata forming wave tank. This would confirm or disprove strata are all laid down at the same time. See video tape.
8. How much voltage or current can a human take before he is killed? Could do experiments on a plant.
10. What was life like before the Flood?
20. Why do we have allergies? [Why, becayse A&E Sinned, of course. Give me an A.]
35. Why does the Bible say there is one glory of the sun, one glory of the moon, and one glory of the stars?
52. What was the weather like before the Flood?
53. Were all the animals friendly to man before the Flood? Idea: raise several baby animals like snake and mouse together to see if they remain friends as they are older.
54. Why do they live longer before the Flood?
58. Why did God create the moon to control the tides?
65. What affects skin color? Is one color better than another? What was God's purpose in this?
72. What is God made of?
80. Why did God make pests like bugs and mosquitoes?
83. Why do people believe in Evolution?
84. What events caused them to become evolutionists?
95. Are humans mammals? We thought they were made in God's image and not related to animals.
98. Were dinosaurs alive at the same time as humans?
99. Does a mare in foal become more ornery than one not?
102.Why do we have pimples? Did God goof?
103.Where was the Garden of Eden? Is it around today?
105.What are aliens and are there really any in our world? see Lamentations 5:2, Eph 2:12, Heb 11:34.

Lobstrosity

I guess the science fair project I did demonstrating the evolution of a communication system amongst a group of artificial organisms wouldn't have gone over so well with these people?

Minnesota

Good god! they're practically in my back yard

Twin Cities Creation Science Association

How embarrassing.

Valentine Pontifex

This one continually comes up and it is a parody. Someone in talk.origins was able to show that there is at least some overlap in this site and "Landover Baptist."

Lobstrosity

indeed. Just how many plants is a human worth, anyway, when discussing electrocutability?

Well, there was land, so I'd have to say life was dry, relatively speaking.

Because we're evil sinners who deserve to be punished. I love you God!

Who the fuck knows why the Bible says anything it does?

Dry, relatively speaking.

Because dihydrogen monoxide is toxic! Damn that God and his chemical weapons.

Coolness. Yes, mine. To give me people to oppress and enslave.

Green cheese [something up there has to be made of cheese, doesn't it?]

Satan.

Demonic possession.

Umm...yes? No? Wait, what the hell are yout trying to ask?

Roland98

Oh, how I love those questions...it can't be something as simple as "the scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports it;" there always has to be some hidden cause or agenda.
It might be funny if it wasn't such a commonly held belief. :banghead:

52. What was the weather like before the Flood?


Heavy, Hot, and Humid.

105.What are aliens and are there really any in our world? see Lamentations 5:2, Eph 2:12, Heb 11:34.

Lamentations 5:2, KJV:
Our inheritance is turned to strangers,
our houses to aliens.

Ephesians 2:12, KJV:
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Hebrews 11:34:
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.


I have absolutely no idea what they're getting at with this. Do they think the Bible is really referring to ETs among us? Or are they saying that the real aliens are non-believers or (gasp) demons???
