Representative Quotes:

"We know the bible was not written as a science book, although whatever it says about science is true." (page 60).

"Vultures serve as 'God's undertakers,' living off the flesh of dead animals." (page 188)

The quickest way to test a science textbook's godliness is to crack open the glossary to the E's. Let's see:

"An imaginary process," just like alchemy or Jedi training or looking for a job in America today! From this we can tell that Science for the Christian Schools is a pioneering work in purporting to reconcile articles of faith with the scientific method, which is something like like reconciling virginity with going Greek at USC, by which I mean it misses the point of both.

Here's how it twists both:

"We have to be careful not to say that the fossil record proves the Bible is true. God says His Word is Truth, so we know that Bible accounts of it are accurate."

Science, you see, is not the process of testing hypotheses to discover what is true. It's instead more about pretending to show the work on a test where you already have the answers.

There is no science in any religion. Science demands the use of the scientific method. Generally, when it doesn't sell its indulgences, it changes as new data is acquired. Religion on the other hand, is, absolute. If you doubt that, check out the evening news.

There is proof of evolution though it is rarely discussed. Though not dirty, it IS insensitive. That proof come to us as some forms of autism. Autism generally occurs when the brain is overly developed, prenatally. Because our species does not recognize this level of development as being consistent with our genome, the immuno-system sends anti bodies to attack it. This is the fail safe that prevents the species from evolving to quickly. There is no point in evolving a terrific species, if there is no environment to house it. Case en pointe. A California judge housed an autistic inside a prison for something like 8 years. Though I know little of the case, the M.O. was consistent with South Bronx urban renewal. The mega banks had gone into extinction, and GM was on its death bed. With no credit, dealerships could not move inventory. Many went under. I realize this is circumstantial, but we are all victims of circumstance.

Essentially with autism, it's a little like building a high rise, but building the penthouse first. The the scaffolding is torn away, leaving the child trapped in the penthouse. As late as a couple of centuries ago, they rarely lived long enough to reproduce, it is unknown that if an autistic produces a like genome, would it be viable?

Evolution isn't so much about natural selection. We are not always what we eat, but rather WHAT THE HELL IS EATING YOU ANYWAY?!?!?
