It's just little green men, helpers of the Purple Rabbit god shoving energy around to the socket in your wall and beyond that into the PC or laptop you're working on right now. Give those poor kids in school a chance to hear out this alternative for regular science and decide for themselves who to believe.
BTW my neighbour is starting a new religion also, it denies gravity. It is all a delusion of the inaccurate human mind as far as he's concerned. The great part is that I can have my belief and my neighbour can have another one and we would be equally right. Absolute truth, isn't it a beautiful thing!
My religion rejects the concept of mass. We do, however believe that the electron is a viable part of our ecosystem. The little green men are laborious in their work. Physics is the work of the Robot King, who wants nothing more than your eternal brain fluids. It's all written in the holy book, which looks surprisingly similar to a napkin with some crayon doodlings of a robot and little green men. I don't think children should be taught this primarily, but I hold a strong belief that kids should learn the controversy.

Especially when the seventh day is still going on thousands of years later, to this day. If, likewise, I use the term "my grandfather's day" in a way that doesn't beg the conclusion that my grandfather lived exactly a single 24 hour period and compare that to the thousand year "Judgment day" of the Bible a literal 144 hour creation is pretty irresponsible. After years of study I am confident it is also uninformed.
Then I suggest that you go to the good folks at answersingenesis and tell them that since
they are of the rock solid belief that the six days of creation is the literal truth.

Lol. "90% of the dating methods give ages of the Earth under a billion years". Possibly because 90% of dating methods don't date things older than that...but hey, if you can lie and make it look like dating methods are on your side, why not?

The Bible was never meant to be taken literally, except by stupid people.
"On Earth as it is in Heaven, the Cosmic Roots of the Bible" available on the Amazon.

LOL Tavarish
Yea I think i watched that vidieo a while back.....DUM DUM DUM DUMM DUMMM
but he looks like the missing link.... man its so easy even a cave man can figure it out...
The bible was to be taken literally...Its just now we know so much more than bronz age man, we can't take it literally without questioning the morals or things that have been scientificaly disproven. It just goes to show you if indoctrinate children with religious dogma before critical thinking can develop it will be hard to shake off, you couple that with home schooling I bet theres no exscape..I have no Idea, but I bet Ken was a home school victom. Im gonna have to research that if I can.
But for those who think the bible is not origianly a literal book (well other than it says, its not INTERPRETED by the prophets) plz get 3 highlighters highlight yellow the literal stuff, then highlight green the nonliteral stuff.. then in blue where it tells you how to distinguish the differnce.
Did I make a good point? thumbs up I cant help it I'm a Kudos whore. P.S. Jesus is a MYTH.
