Their Own Version of a Big Bang
Those who believe in creationism -- children and adults -- are being taught to challenge evolution's tenets in an in-your-face way.

By Stephanie Simon, Times Staff Writer

WAYNE, N.J. — Evangelist Ken Ham smiled at the 2,300 elementary students packed into pews, their faces rapt. With dinosaur puppets and silly cartoons, he was training them to reject much of geology, paleontology and evolutionary biology as a sinister tangle of lies.

"Boys and girls," Ham said. If a teacher so much as mentions evolution, or the Big Bang, or an era when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, "you put your hand up and you say, 'Excuse me, were you there?' Can you remember that?"

The children roared their assent.

"Sometimes people will answer, 'No, but you weren't there either,' " Ham told them. "Then you say, 'No, I wasn't, but I know someone who was, and I have his book about the history of the world.' " He waved his Bible in the air.

"Who's the only one who's always been there?" Ham asked.

"God!" the boys and girls shouted.


"Who's the only one who knows everything?"

"God!"

"So who should you always trust, God or the scientists?"

The children answered with a thundering: "God!"

Comment: even the article is sickening to read, rha, rah rah. for "God". Once again the idiots have been called to defend the Allmighty against us powerful scientists...

2. "Who doesn't want to get into college?"

Who doesn't want a good doctor?

Who doesn't want to cure cancer?

Raise your hands, Kiddies!

3. And then they blame the teachers...

for the US falling behind the rest of the world in science.

:eyes:

And when these kids realize they can't get into college because of their rejection of science (of which evolution is a part),
they'll realize that the only words they're going to be able to take to heart are "you want fried with that?"

4. Ya know, when I say we will look more like Haiti than Haiti I mean

economically, now that I read that other story about the voodoo head in luggage and then this story, I think we will be as religiously superstitious and backawards as Haiti TOTALLY! Hey, if you are DESPERATELY poor you better believe in SOMETHING other than science?

5. this halibut is good enough for Jehovah

I spoke to God the other day, he said he was unfairly blamed/credited for the whole universe thing. He claimed it was all the some dream of that guy Brahma, God did take responsibility for creating man though.

The fury and anger over Man's origin is a sight to behold. I got a few years first hand experince down in N. Carolina...
