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.

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.

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. |
