Sometimes I'm Really Embarrassed To Be a Christian
Via an instant message from Beck
Here's The Fellowship Baptist Creation Science Fair 2001
Oh, there's some real winners, like a girl puttomg some mineral water in a jar and setting it in the sun for 2 weeks and therefor proving evolution false because no life appeared. Genius. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of evolution, but I'm also not a fan of teaching kids to think with heads buried in their posteriors.
But the real winner, my absolute favorite, is 2nd Place Winner Jonathan Goode. His experiment was entitled:
"Women Were Designed For Homemaking"
(from the article)
Jonathan Goode (grade 7) applied findings from many fields of science to support his conclusion that God designed women for homemaking: physics shows that women have a lower center of gravity than men, making them more suited to carrying groceries and laundry baskets; biology shows that women were designed to carry un-born babies in their wombs and to feed born babies milk, making them the natural choice for child rearing; social sciences show that the wages for women workers are lower than for normal workers, meaning that they are unable to work as well and thus earn equal pay; and exegetics shows that God created Eve as a companion for Adam, not as a co-worker.
What's really great is that I just KNOW somebody is gonna make some comment defending this, something along the lines of "well, what's wrong with their reasoning, seems to make sens to me?" or something like that...
I'm gonna disappear into work for the next couple of hours until "Remember the Al-Jazeera" Catacombs Chapel Skit starts.

Well, you gotta feel sorry for J. Goode's wife, should he ever get married. Maybe we should start praying for her.

well, what's wrong with their reasoning, seems to make sens to me?

I hafta agree that women are better at carrying unborn babies. at least Michelle does a fine job.

I agree with gosey...What's wrong with the reasoning, I mean can you disagree with the fact that nothing evolved in the girl's experiment. That is true science, taking a theory and showing that it is false. I think she needs to submit this to a publication. This could be a huge step forward in the world of science.
As far as the runner-up goes, he probably could have won if he just had a little bit more life experience. As he gets older he will see that there are even more reasons that women are designed for homemaking. For example, it is a well-known fact that women communicate better than men, causing women to be less productive in the workplace, but more productive in the home. I think his age was detrimental to his research. Maybe he will do better in the future.

I vaguely remember Pat Buchanan saying something along the lines of "Women have larger hips, giving them a lower center of gravity, making it easier for them to sit for long periods of time. Men have large shoulders, more suited for moving around and getting things done."
Come to think of it, Pat Buchanan is somewhat pear-shaped.

ha ha... that site is hilarious! wow... so deadpan. josiah, tell me you don't actually think its for real. i mean, you did see cassidy's science project proving that her uncle is "not a monkey"? not to mention the whole debate over "triclavianism"? I guess my favorite is the t-shirts, especially "Hopsiah, the Kanga-Jew"...
(oh, here's the proof...)

On the same level of the mineral water winner.....Could you just set the same bottle out and hope that it changed to wine, there by disproving that Jesus actually turned water into wine?

That is hilarious! Whoever conjured up that sight did a very convincing job. I agree with Andy, I dont think there is any way it could be for real. But it sure does look convincing.

Did you know Kent Hovind (www.drdino.com) was being investigated by the IRS?

I did a Google search and found a few comments referring to Objective: Christian Ministries as a satire site. They do such a great job, though, that it's more convincing than something like Landover Baptist Church. I loved the 4Kidz page, the store's matrimony thong, and Dr. Giraffenstein's Giraffen-Stein.

hey Q.
a friend said to check this out on ABOUT.COM because supposedly the site is merely a very well-done SPOOF.
might be a good idea to check it out at least....
