…apparently.

This is so well written that you could almost believe it. I found it very entertaining but I can see some people on this board might find it offensive - I hope you don’t. I just had to share it, and hope that everyone else can enjoy it as I did! 🙂

That is a great article. I am going to start listing my occupation as **Evangelical Physicist**.
The last part was brilliant:
“Anti-falling physicists have been theorizing for decades about the ‘electromagnetic force,’ the ‘weak nuclear force,’ the ‘strong nuclear force,’ and so-called ‘force of gravity,’” Burdett said. “And they tilt their findings toward trying to unite them into one force. But readers of the Bible have already known for millennia what this one, unified force is: His name is Jesus.”

And all the time I thought I was pressed down onto the earth by His Noodly Appendage.

Great find !!! Yes, that is well-written and has its facts verified by the renowned Reverend Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University.
Reverend Burdett is famous for his dissertaion (well it was more like a leaflet), about “Six Days Toward Designing A Universe … Intelligently”. I didn’t have time to read it (I _had_ to watch the World Wrestling Federation Death Match of Doom).

This could almost be a sig line.
