      As opposed the highly probably theory of Noah's ark being beached and somehow the Kangaroos and Koalas all flew to Australia

      Now c'mon. Everyone KNOWS kangaroos don't fly. They jumped there. As for the koalas, they didn't fly nor jump-- they haven't got the wings or legs for it. Obviously, they teleported. I saw it once in a cartoon, so it must be true.

    Dear Creationists,

    We'll put these stickers on our science textbooks when you put "God's existence is a theory, not a fact" on your bibles.

  3. so, how is creationism taught anyways? by k4_pacific · · Score: 5, Funny

    Teacher: Class, today we are going to study Creation. A long time ago, God, who cannot be quantified or proven to exist or not to exist, created life using supernatural powers that cannot be explained by science.

    Student: Will this be on the test?

    Teacher: Will what be on the test?

    "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."

    "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."

    "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

    "Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed at the next zebra crossing.

    Gravity is accepted by probably about 99.9999999999% of the world. Evolution is accepted by a minority of the world.

    Oh, science is a democracy now? I'm supposed to let the mouth-breathing, troglodytic masses who can't be bothered to learn what an allele is have a say in the science education in public schools? Why does the fact that a large portion of the world is too stupid / lazy / superstitious to learn about evolution matter to you?
