The OP’s site is a parody. But what about this one?  
[http://www.tccsa.tc/adventure/fair.html](http://www.tccsa.tc/adventure/fair.html)

Some of the suggested “science” fair topics are

> [@](#):
>
> \*\*3. Make a computer model of the Flood currents.  
> 54. Why do they live longer before the Flood?  
> 72. What is God made of?  
> 83. Why do people believe in Evolution?  
> 84. What events caused them to become evolutionists?

\*\*

I don’t quite know what to make of this one,

> [@](#):
>
> \*\*8. How much voltage or current can a human take before he is killed? Could do experiments on a plant.

\*\*  
If its a parody, it’s too earnest to be funny. I think they’re serious.

:eek:

I’d like to hear this one, personally, because aren’t Pokemon evolving all the time? (hey, it comes on in the middle of my cartoon block)

Here’s another quote from the cite that points to parody:

> [@](#):
>
> Some have criticized my stance on triclavianism as being counterproductive, arguing that making a point of doctrinal contention over not making a point of doctrinal contention over adiaphora is itself non-salvific. However, my critics are overlooking the dangers of triclavianistic doctrines: allowing adiaphora to creep into our credenda – while possibly pushing the theologoumenic envelope and providing exciting new opportunities for supererogative works – will most often serve to muddy the soteriological foundation of Faith, leading in general to ultramontane excesses and, in extreme cases, ebaptization (which is unacceptable pastoral malpractice, however rare it may be.) Doctrinal integrity, and hence salvific effectiveness, is best served by working to end triclavianism and similar erroneous, or simply adiaphoric, doctrines.
