(Mods: Please move to the Pit, I placed this in the wrong catagory).
While perusing through the comments section of a Scientific American article I came across this gem from a OP, by the name of C. David Parsons, who was plugging his new gushy science treatise:
Mr. Parsons is currently running all over the evolution/creation blog 'o sphere plugging his physic watershed event. Whatever you knew about astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and other physical sciences, well neighboreeno, it’s time to throw out the baby with the bathwater!
You open to splashy, colorful web pages, and note an important endorsement from an eminent, Nobel prize winning scientist:
Oops, my bad. I guess I should have checked my facts first, like Mr. Parsons does.
But let’s get to some real, red American meat of Mr. Parson’s book:
I wanted to be a physic major in college so I’m pretty sure that associative education is a very common term in used in science.
He goes on to say (from Volume 3, Chapter 7)
This ethereal word speak, this eloquence, cannot be compared to the natty-ass prose of Virgil or Tennyson. Instead, we must compare it to our bard of the late 20th/early 21st century–Sideshow Bob. Parson’s command of the scientific language suggests that he has indeed mastered MS Word’s Shift-F7 command.

We can discount all of this non-Christian stuff. You know why, right? See, it’s really boring and hard to understand and a waste of time anyway. Besides, God has a plan for your life and it ain’t physic relativism.
Did you know that Biblical science is much more exciting? It’s because you get to use you God ordained talents and imagination to make up stuff as you go along. If it doesn’t fit or make sense, parse the scripture and you’ll always find the answer to any problem.
Like Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. Too bad God only deals with absolutes, and we know this to be true because the Bible says so. It would be better to call it Heisenberg-why-don’t-you-shut-your-pie-hole-cause-you-don’t-know-jack-about-God’s-Word. And look what Mr. Parson’s books have done for global warming (hypothetically speaking, of course), he’s sequestered carbon in all seven volumes. That’s a lot more sequestering then say, the Feynman lectures, right?
But the best part, I have save for last:
Mr. James Moore (who I think is a communist) wanted to write a book review about Parson’s series. He requested a copy of the book from Mr. Parsons. The author showed, however, strength of character by showing that meany, Mr. Moore, that we live in capitalist society, not a godless/godessless society he espouses to. Mr. Moore had to buy the book. That’s how it works, Mr. Moore: you have pay for the things that you want–that’s how freedom of the press works!
Mr. Meany wrote the following:
Typical commie-loving red tripe. Parson uses the Bible as his source, Mr. Moore. Where are those precious cites in your review?
Mr. Parsons, I would like to take the whole lot of your pretentious, self indulgent, egotistical, self-aggrandizing, willfully ignorant, arborcidal texts and place 'em in an area of your body where the sun don’t shine.
On the other hand, you would probably be a really nice next door neighbor who would mow my lawn if I was sick. Or take care of my cat and dogs if I were on vacation. I live in NC and am surrounded by lots of people just like you.
But all you did was remind me of what I learned about Jesus—would he really want you to do this? Did the 20,000 kids who died today from malnutrition really benefit from your effort? Because it really sounds like to me you really don’t give a shit about the real problems. And you’ve continued the great American tradition of making us Xtians looking like the dumb fucks from the sticks. Give the Holy Ghost a high five for me, ‘kay?
*You didn’t believe me when I told you this a study about studying physic did you?
Who ever said it was profitable?
