"Creation Science Fair"

Notable excerpts:

Cassidy Turnbull (grade 5) [...] tried to feed her uncle bananas, but he declined to eat them.  Cassidy has conclusively shown that her uncle is no monkey.

"Pokemon Prove Evolutionism Is False" - Paul Sanborn (grade 4)

Patricia Lewis (grade 8) did an experiment to see if life can evolve from non-life.  Patricia placed all the non-living ingredients of life - carbon (a charcoal briquet), purified water, and assorted minerals (a multi-vitamin) - into a sealed glass jar.  The jar was left undisturbed, being exposed only to sunlight, for three weeks.  [...]  No life evolved.  This shows that life cannot come from non-life through natural processes.

"Rocks Can't Evolve, Where Did They Come From Mr. Darwin?" - Anna Reed (grade 6)

Jonathan Goode (grade 7) applied findings from many fields of science to support his conclusion that God designed women for homemaking [....]

Barefoot and pregnant, huh, Jonathan?  Among Jonathan's carefully-derived Creation-scientific conclusions: the observed fact that wages are lower for women worker than for "normal" workers (what, Jonathan, you're saying women are abnormal?) proves that women are incapable of working as well as men and therefore deserve lower pay.  And then there's the Noah's ark proof of concept that should result in a prosecution for animal cruelty.

I'm almost, but not quite, speechless.  We expect people taught this way to be able to function in a modern technological society?!?  The Dark Ages are alive and well in rural America.

Update:

General consensus seems to be running that this page is actually a hoax.

ROTFLMAO!

Is this idiot serious? This is about as slack jawed, knee-jerked moronic ode to creationism as I've seen.

Mind if I cross post this?

Be my guest, and with my blessing. (So to speak.)

Yeah, it boggled my mind too.

I think, although I'm not certain, that this is a parody site, to drive traffic to landover baptist..

[fair-witness.livejournal.com]

There are so many different kinds of wrong going on here.

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

You can say that again.........

[technoshaman.livejournal.com]

I got two words for you. Government Schools.

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

Your tax dollars at work playing hooky....

[technoshaman.livejournal.com]

*snerk* that's about right.

[jenkitty.livejournal.com]

Nope, somebody over on dr_nebula's blog say it were a ho-ax. (That's pronounced HOE-ax, for the Southern-impaired.) Apparently attached to Landover Baptist.

Hoaxed

[dr-nebula.livejournal.com]

Yeah - 'tis true.

For shame on me for falling for it too.

While this site is a hoax, they did point to various "Home School Science Fairs" where Creationism might be a valid project. Ugh.

The Home Schoolers are also pushing for tax deductions or tax credits (not to mention government funding) to subsidize teaching this stuff at home.

So while Government Schools are scary, and some/many home schoolers are sane, I'm not sure I want my tax money going to this stuff either. Decisions Decisions.
