Cool

Oh, I don't know. I look at it as sort of educational Darwinism in action. After all, if this is an example of the quality of the other subjects being taught (and it looks like a home-school curriculum), I don't think anyone will ever have to worry about their child amounting to much. Too bad there's no law against ignorance - if the parents were locked up, the kids might have a chance. Still, street sweeping, ditch digging, and trash collection are honorable professions.

Yeah, but the problem is, with these sorts of qualifications, in the US they could run for president.

(I was going to put a or a there, but fear or are more in order.)

This blatant indoctrination is far worse than anything that was ever perpetrated on Young Pioneers in the Soviet Union (on the lines of "all peaceful humans love Comrade Stalin" ...).

Unfortunately, in another sense of the word they will be prepared. The curriculum teaches them how to react when confronted with the "evolution-lie" ....

Session #11 The world is flat

What do most scientists say?
Most filthy lying scientists will try to say that the earth is round, like a basketball.

What does the bible say?
The bible says that the earth is flat, because you can climb a tall tree and see all of Our Loving God's creation from the top. Besides, if the earth was round like a basketball, wouldn't it also be orange and have those little bumps all over it? Does the world look orange to you? And where are those little black lines that you see on basketballs? Does the earth have little black lines all over it? Plus, basketballs need to be pumped full of air. Do you really think the earth needs to be pumped full of air too? Therefore, God is real, and scientists are a bunch of cocksucking communists.

Maybe the Earth was round when it was full of water. Then when the hydrosphere broke and flooded Earth in the Big One, the Earth went flat.

Take a look at the true/false questions on the sample quizzes, if you haven't you're missing the best part

One of the quiz questions:

1. How many times would you have to flip two coins to get them to land on the same side?

a. 3 b. 7 c. 10 d. More than 50

Of course, none of these answers are "most correct" the way the question is phrased. I have no idea what they're getting at here, other than to illustrate their total lack of mental capacity.

Talking

Some of my favorites:

4. How many amino acids are in a single molecule?

a. almost 1 hundred b. Hundreds c. Thousands d. Millions


Oh my, oh my....

3. What is the difference in water content between watermelons and clouds?

a. 75% b. 3% c. 50% d. 99%


This is absolutely essential for your child to know. Does anyone know WTF they're getting at here?

10. Evolution is real science and the biblical description of the beginning is only religion. True/ False

I know the answer to that one!

2. Radiometric dating uses radio’s to date fossils. True /False

I wish I could say with confidence what they think the answer is.

10. The ages of fossils and the earth have no impact on Christianity. True /False

Ditto.

1. How old is the Earth ?

a. 10-15 billion years b. 300 million years c. 1 million d. 10,000 years


How about e., none of the above?

You know, this captures the Cretinist thought process so well. The odd and seemingly unattached conclusions they draw from the 3 sentances of evolutionary theory they forced themselves to read are mind boggling.
