You'll get a chuckle out of this, I'm sure....

Saturday Night Live - "What's The Best Way?" game show.

"What do ya wanna go there for?"

Evolution Ping! This list is for the evolution side of evolution threads, and maybe other science topics like cosmology.
See the list's description in my freeper homepage. Then FReepmail me to be added or dropped.

[Tax-chick]

That was cute!

If the directions to your house start with "You turn off the pave road ..." and end with "... unless it's raining," you might be a redneck!

I see FR is trying to get in bed with CBS today.

[PatrickHenry]

The article is a poor imitation of the master's work:
Jack Chick's Big Daddy.
Apes, Lies and Ms. Henn.

[RadioAstronomer]

Pure Codswallop.

This just shows Dr. Adams is completely clueless on the subject of evolution.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Tax-chick]

Well, he's a criminology professor and political agitator. And the article is fiction, of course.

"Codswallop" is marvelous, though. I'll have to use it next time one of my kids insists they've done their chores! It sounds much nicer than "I don't believe you," while conveying the same meaning.

[Dimensio]

The whole satire is based, not on the arguement of creation v. evolution

Moreover, it's a one-sided strawman presentation of evolution vs. what Creationists claim that evolutionists say (such as the lie about "fit" being circular reasoning)

[balrog666]

Apes, Lies and Ms. Henn.

Now that's gawd-awful!

[Dimensio]

Well, he's a criminology professor and political agitator.

That would explain why his attempted presentation of evolution resembles a creationist strawman packed with lies rather than actual fact.

Satire is funny when it's based in reality. The only "reality" about this pieces is that it's based on the same creationist lies as just about every other argument against evolution that I've heard.

[Tax-chick]

I found it believable, because the level of evolutionist reasoning I heard in high school was pretty much what he describes. I know there is a much higher level of argumentation out there, but that's not what he's addressing here. He's also, by introducing the sociology teacher, making a point about the reasoning of leftist instructors in all subjects.

But if you don't like it, you don't.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

This is an obvious forgery. No one reads Dawkins in high school. He's not even read in many entry level college classes.

[Tax-chick]

This is an obvious forgery.

You're making a joke about the recent forged Bush military records fluff, right?

[Dimensio]

Now that's gawd-awful!

I really liked his most recent "Halloween" tract, wherein he continues with the storyline of Little Susy (and her archnemesis, Mrs. Henn), and our young heroine explains to a fellow classmate why she hates Halloween, giving a vivid and thoroughly warped history lesson to justify her disdain for the holiday. Her young friend's name? Buffy. Who says that her mother loves the "vampire shows" (funny, the last of the good "vampire shows" was shamelessly cancelled by the WB last spring, apparently in an attempt to keep their network from being known for quality programming).

Oh, Jack, how sad it is that there are people who take you seriously.

[Modernman]

Mrs. Merx, If scientists know how life began, why can't they make it happen again?

There are several theories as to how life began, but none of them are very widely accepted. Scientists admit that this is a question that is still unanswered.

And, of course, the TOE does not cover how life began.

But you knew that already.

[longshadow]

****Well, he's a criminology professor and political agitator.****

I assumed he was a CBS News fact-checker.....

;-O

[whattajoke]

I read it in such a way that made me believe the ones being poked at were the dumb kids.

I mean, they actually used the "tornado in the junkyard" canard! Surely that was meant to poke fun at creationists who actually DO use that one... right?

(that would be nice though.)
