Introduction:

Poking Fun at the Religion of Science

I love science.

But I love common sense more.

The universe is too ordered to not have a Grand Designer.

Let’s get real.

There is a God.

And he’s too busy laughing at us

to be terribly disappointed.

Alpha 1 {plates 1- 20}

P1 /The Fault Is in My Creator/---In yet another assault on personal responsibility, psychologists at University of Washington claim people who repeatedly engage in unethical behavior have an addictive gene that produces a cheater’s high. Today if we are allowed to proclaim Robbery, Rape and Adultery are symptoms of a Disease---What will tomorrow blame?

P2 /In Blog We Trust/---Popular Science recently shut down its comments section of its website citing negative comments can be bad for science. So, let’s just forget silly controversial concepts like: academic freedom, struggle for the truth, strong evidence can withstand criticism, etc. Those principles only apply when you blindly support Science.

P3 /Crash Dummies R Smarter/---An Australian company claims to have developed a new shark proof wet suit. After a brief, albeit successful test, using crash dummies, the company is now selling them through the Internet even though testing continues. They quote researcher Shaun Collin who believes sharks are repelled by food items with black and white banding, as they are often perceived as unpalatable. Which is the same feeling your family will endure when watching you being eaten by a shark while wearing this wet suit.

P4 /God Punch the Queen/---The British Journal of Sports Medicine reports teenage females get better science grades if they stay fit. Like cops there’s never a feminist around when you actually need one. Because if I were a father of daughters I would take a baseball bat to this brilliant study. If you follow their ridiculous logic ---your daughter will increase her math grades if she carries a bushel of condoms in her book bag.

P5 /Agenda Surrender/---The Online publication Occupational and Environmental Medicine culled 38 separate studies and concluded massive use of alcohol and drugs is the norm for truck drivers but links this disturbing behavior to poor working conditions. I have yet to read a comment about road reform, union regulations, or academic underachievement from a mother whose child was killed by a drunken truck driver.

P6 /Peeing Is Believing/---A professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology working on a federal grant has proclaimed a Law of Urination that states nearly all mammals empty their bladders in the same time which is 21 seconds. And you thought the government shutdown had no purpose.

P7 /Blame the Dead Guy/---European researchers now claim climate change and not human hunting led to the extinction of wooly mammoths. What is not clear from this incredible assertion is why ancient cavemen allowed wild campfires to pollute the air,
