On second thought...
The gospels really aren't that bad. It's the rest of it that stinks the most. |

Even the Ozzies are not immune to idiotcy. quote: Intelligent design makes mockery of science teaching 21 October 2005
AS Australian scientists and science educators, we are gravely concerned that so-called "intelligent design" might be taught in any school as a valid scientific alternative to evolution. While science is a work in progress, a vast and growing body of factual knowledge supports the hypothesis that biological complexity is the result of natural processes of evolution.
Proponents of ID assert that some living structures are so complex that they are explicable only by the agency of an imagined and unspecified "intelligent designer". They are free to believe and profess whatever they like. But not being able to imagine or explain how something happened other than by making a leap of faith to supernatural intervention is no basis for any science: that is a theological or philosophical notion.
For a theory to be considered scientific it must be testable – either directly or indirectly – by experiment or observation. The results of such tests should be able to be reproduced by others as a check on their accuracy (and, importantly, if repeated testing falsifies the theory it should be rejected rather than taught as part of the accumulating body of scientific understanding). Finally, a scientific theory should explain more than what is already known: it should be able to predict outcomes in novel situations. Evolution meets all of these criteria but ID meets none of them: it is not science.
We therefore urge all Australian governments and educators not to permit the teaching or promulgation of ID as science. To do so would make a mockery of Australian science teaching and throw open the door of science classes to similarly unscientific world views – be they astrology, spoon-bending, flat-earth cosmology or alien abductions – and crowd out the teaching of real science.

Robertson enlighten us on evolution, atheism and science: http://mediamatters.org/items/200512190011 quote: Summary: On CBN's The 700 Club, host Pat Robertson claimed that "the evolutionists worship atheism" and that because "evolution becomes their religion" it is "an establishment of religion contrary to the First Amendment." Robertson went on to suggest that evolution advocates were "fanatics," stating further, "it is a religion, it is a cult. It is cultish religion."
Enjoy, fellow cultists! |

Hey, I do. I thank my brain everyday for giving me the wisdom to see the world through science and not to be led astray by those who would seek to harm me with their lies of salvation if only I put money in their collection plates.
Well, I tried...but it was going to take too long to make decent satire out of my answer. |

Hi Slim, and welcome!
Heh, it probably would -- I am assuming that you meant "fatwah" and "patwah" less the typos. Good one!
