I happened across this, and I thought maybe I'd share it with you:
quote:
The Earth is not rotating...nor is it going around the sun.

The universe is not one ten trillionth the size we are told.

Today's cosmology fulfills an anti-Bible religious plan disguised as "science".

The whole scheme from Copernicanism to Big Bangism is a factless lie.

Those lies have planted the Truth-killing virus of evolutionism

in every aspect of man's "knowledge" about the Universe, the

Earth, and Himself.

Take your time.

Check it all out.

Decide for yourself.

I came within a whisper of putting it in Humor as some sort of spoof, but they seem so deadly serious.

I have also gleaned a couple of new terms from it: "Copernicanism" and "Big Bangism," and "Evolutionarian" for example. Educational opportunities arise in the strangest places.....

Huh?? I was left with two questions.

Who thought that it would be a good idea to use all 64 colors from a box of crayolas?
What's wrong with Big Bangism? In my opinion the more frequent the better.

"Kabbala-based Big Bangism" Ah, the power of the magic mushroom!

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Yeah, figgered it would be -- it is hilarious as all get-out ! What stopped me from putting it there is that there actually are literate people who believe such utter crap, every word. And, thinking about it, that's some pretty serious shit. Are our educational systems really that poor? I know that they are not any thing like what as they could be, but really......

And if the authors don't believe in their utter crap, then what might be their adgenda -- a seriously misguided ego trip? I don't smell a scam running, and the Luddites don't seem to be mounting a serious, come-back campaign, so what else is there?

In any event, it's good for a chuckle and a shaking of the head -- some people's kids, eh....?

Actually, this thread should probably move to Politics, since the law they think is a slam-dunk is just a fill-in-the-blanks version of some Georgia law which stated, in part:
All of evolution's essential concepts (15 billion years, relativity, heliocentricity, big bang, expanding universe)--which are now textbook “science”--are the same concepts that were formulated by Kabbalist “sages” in a mystical holy book as far back at least as the 1st century A.D and expanded in the 12th, 13th, 16th and 20th centuries.

However, until about a decade ago, the world outside the ultra-secret Kabbalist insiders has had no knowledge of this incredible collusion between the Kabbalic “creation scenario” of the Pharisee Sect of Judaism and the establishment of that Religious “creation scenario” under the guise of being secular theoretical science.
Which is, of course, just ridiculous, and the reason such a law will never find traction in any state.

And apparently, what wound up being HB 179 in Georgia is only a wimpy "teach criticisms of evolution" piece of junk, bearing no relation to what the Fixed-Earthers are touting as solid legislation.

Does this mean that some clown in the Georgia state legislature believes heliocentricity is not proven? That is truly frightening if it is true.

Well, if he believes it, he's smart enough to know it won't fly as state education law.

The site boasts "OVER NINETY LINKS".

OK - So was the anti-heliocentric nonsense the orignal verison of HB179? If it is, a fixed earther got elected to the Georgia State Legislature. I think Skepticallity are from Georgia - perhaps they could have a field day with this if it is true.
