I wonder if we wanted them to teach science in church how that would work out.

Hey, we need both sides of the “debate”, right?

The poster was ‘hee-hawing’ over the fact that a Texas legislator was proposing a Master Degree be made available for those who studied Creationism. It’s ironic that the poster’s sarcastic article was accompanied by a diploma mill offering a Master Degree for only one year of on-line lessons. Sheesh! I’ll never understand why these avowed atheists continue to insist that their closest evolutionary relatives are grunting, stinky, smelly, hairy, slobbering, knuckle-dragging, cootie-picking primates. But if they insist, who am I to second-guess their miserable self-image? After all, I don’t have a Master Degree, either.

As a Texas resident, I am unfortunately unsurprised that a representative from my state would propose something like this. To be quite honest, and there is little exaggeration here, this is the most absurd thing I have ever read. We’re going to start needing super heroes to save us if something like this ever goes through.

C’mon though, how cool would it be to have that diploma on your wall? If they offered it as a correspondence course I’d take it in a flash

That would be something – how cool would it be to get a couple thousand people with graduate degrees in creationism to simultaneously renounce creationism as nonsense in a peer-reviewed journal?

The school should just move to California. California exempts religious schools from accreditation requirements, unlike Texas.

Most commonly heard phrase of “Master of Science” graduates in creationism:

“Would you like fries with that?”

“the ancient Israelites were making a theological statement about their God’s omnipotence, not writing history or science.”

Gosh, it sure would have been nice if they had just said that then. Would have saved a lot of stress and bickering within the church. Too bad the Holy Spirit didn’t make this clear to all the believers Poor Ken Ham, thinking all these years that he is doing God’s will…

Jeez, why can’t the Bible just mean what it says?
