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.

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.

I totally want to write that. As a lover of post-apocalyptic/dystopian si-fi, I contemplate these things all of the time.

I need to read more "sane" writing instead of right-wing nut-job rantings via HuffPo or wherever. I never watched Bill Nye when I was younger, but he's the man. Him and Neil deGrasse Tyson. I love them both.

We should write it! Become world famous authors. And when we're on NPR talking about the origin of our story, we'll laugh. lol.

Sometimes I feel like I insulate myself in feminist only spaces on the internet, so I forget that people suck so then I'll wonder onto a "normal" site like Entertainment Weekly and be horrified by the comments being made. I legit hate people.

Bill Nye!!! I adore him. I watched him all the time as a kid. It makes me so happy that he's come back with a vengeance to fight against the right wing craziness. Tyson is AWESOME too. I imagine they like hang out together, being awesome.

I spend way too much time in areas of the internet that highlight the crazy--fundies, right-wingers, men's rights wackos, conspiracy nuts, etc. I have to wander my way into some sane spaces once in a while to restore my faith in humanity.

And Bill and Neil totally hang out together--it's the reason we have rainbows and an overabundance of cat videos--their awesomeness leaks out to the interwebz.

Oh geez, that sounds awful. Why must you torture yourself so. I mean, it's good to know what the wackos are saying though. Know thy enemy.


"And Bill and Neil totally hang out together--it's the reason we have rainbows and an overabundance of cat videos--their awesomeness leaks out to the interwebz."

truth.
