Opis

Anti-Darwinists have a tendency to take a hyper-critical look at the theory of evolution. They find anomalies in nature they claim can't be explained, and they let no gap in the evidence go overlooked, while congratulating themselves on their superior logic. They use plausible examples (that have either been refuted long ago, or turn out to be just plain mistaken), and the non-scientific layperson thinks it all sounds impressive. But instead of holding this debate on obscure scientific turf, which allows for lots of confusion (just what the hell is a flagellum, anyway?), what if we took a look at their alternative "theory" instead? Funny, but when asked about some of the anomalies, errors, inconsistencies, and illogicalities of their own theory, Anti-Darwinists' critical thinking skills are suddenly turned off. But we have lots of evidence proving just how ludicrous this theory is. Unfortunately, it's all cleverly buried in the Bible, where no one ever looks. "Yahweh Flunked Science," a unique, humorous, 21st century assessment, gets right to the point and reveals what the all-too-human ancient authors of Scripture really said about the world and how it works. For starters ("In the Beginning ..."), there are dozens of things the All-Knowing Creator of the Universe is shockingly misinformed about, or doesn't quite get. Nothing big, just everything He supposedly invented - the earth, the heavens, etc - and even subjects He's supposedly good at, like morality and justice. True, there are plenty of pretty sentiments expressed in the Good Book. But for each one of those, we get at least four or five that are totally barbaric. It doesn't seem fair not to count those, too. Think about it - if Darwin's going to be held accountable for gaps in the fossil record (which have been filled in to an amazing extent in the meantime - just do an internet search on whale evolution if you want a good example), should we really let Yahweh off the hook for things He actually did say? Instead of glossing them over for reasons of political correctness, let's teach the controversy. It's all broken down here, all the bizarre, perverted, psychotic things the Bible has to offer, but without the preachers' guilt trips and spin that keep you from thinking about what you just read. Then you can decide who to believe - the preachers and Anti-Darwinists, or your lyin' eyes.
