I don't even...

I was reading an article on the idiot in West Virginia who is suing the state for teaching evolution when I find this gem in the comments:

In case you can't see, this person says, "One theory from my surgeon in Tualua, Colombia: We arrived here about 3 Billion years ago as few survivors following all-out war Moon-Mars."

Da fuq?

His surgeon said this.

His surgeon.

SURGEON!

He also says this, "There are so many buildings, also in Peru and Bolivia that "we" couldn't possibly have built. Were we really at a higher level technologically in earlier times or ??? How to move a 1,200 ton obelisk ? And so on. Today we can't do it."

Umm...



This was from a UK publication.

And from the comment section of the Facebook post:


"Well, if it was me, I would argue, that you can't teach a theory that has never been proven or observed and goes against scientific law....The Biological law of bio-gensis and the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It's unconstitutional to teach things that aren't true."

"Micro-evolution I will agree has been observed, they can teach that...But, Macro-evolution and teaching that we evolvoed from rock...no, I don't think that's right."

Derp.

That is so fucking racist I can't even. None of those cranks ever claim that Stonehenge or the Roman Coliseum was too advanced for us to build. Ignorant, uneducated, misinformed garbage like that makes me so mad.

lol I'd totally read a book about the Moon Wars....maybe I should write that. lols.

people be whack yo. hahahahahahah

sidenote, I'm reading Bill Nye (the Science Guy)'s new book and it's all about evolution and the rising right-wing conservative push to ban it and critical thought/science from schools. It's a really fascinating book, worth checking out. Try the audio book, cause Bill reads it himself and he's delightful.

*sigh*

They don't understand what "theory" means in the scientific community. Across the board in the U.S. we have a severe scientific illiteracy (not just the right wing nutjobs - check out the very liberal crunchy moms of CA who think vaccines cause all the things).

I was in a regular school, learned about evolution (but it wasn't taught very well). It took me a while to really get a handle on it, plus reading some stuff by some really good theologians, that helped me. A decade ago I probably sounded like some of those that commented (not the conspiracy theorists obviously). I started questioning some things and went on a hunt for a few years looking for good info.

These laws disappoint me.

(If you would love to spend time reading about the other stupid things people say there's a FB page called "Things anti-vaxers say" - but you might lose all faith in humanity at that point. The conspiracy theories are to die for though!)

LMAO at "Religion is heroine!" Goddess bless us all.

Personally, I'm quite sure I did not evolve from a rock. But after due examination of the cranial output, this individual appears to have evolved into one.
