bubbles83Hey guys, Creationist Science Fair!
It includes such gems as "My Uncle Is A Man Named Steve (Not A Monkey)" and "Women Were Designed For Homemaking"
I feel a little bad mocking the monkey kid, she's only in the fifth grade, but she proved her uncle wasn't a monkey by trying to feed him bananas and then he wouldn't eat them. That's the scientific method at work, my friends. I feel no such pity for the seventh grader who did the homemaking project. Honest to God, it actually says, "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" Fuck you very much, Jonathan.
Okay, I have to admit, I'm a little curious about the "Thermodynamics Of Hell Fire" and I bet "Pokemon Prove Evolutionism Is False" would be HILARIOUS.

The (non-) logic of using that argument to prove "Women Were Designed For Homemaking" is about to make my head go kablooey.
One thing that makes all this so gaaaah is that it's so familiar. When I was in the seventh grade, I was reading Christian books debunking evolution, etc. in my spare time. If I had done one of these experiments in school, I would have gotten just as much praise and admiration from my family and church community as I'm sure these kids did. But my public school science teachers, God bless them, would have skewered me, and then the whole town would have been in a festering uproar. Oy.
