    Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New 'Intelligent Falling' Theory

    KANSAS CITY, KS—As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held "theory of gravity" is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling.

    Ill second that PrivatePyle, im no idiot but its much more enoyable to embrace the collective stupidity we are bombarded with daily. I love the way they use the bible as hard evidence as though its universally accpeted as true. Dont get me started on the way that anything that we cant explain yet must be down to God.

    I read it, therefore it must be true

    Good job someone didn't start a religion over a crusty old porn mag, or the whole world would never get anything done

    "In Matthew 15:14, Jesus says, 'And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.' He says nothing about some gravity making them fall—just that they will fall.
    Well if someone falls over, and I was telling someone else about it, I wouldn't say "gravity pulled them down". They simpley fell.

    Then, in Job 5:7, we read, 'But mankind is born to trouble, as surely as sparks fly upwards.' If gravity is pulling everything down, why do the sparks fly upwards with great surety?
    Aren't sparks hot, and heat rises?

    Urgh, the onion really shouldn't put "evangelical" and "scientists" next to each other. Equally, cults and superstitions shouldn't be given nearly this ammount of air/paper time.

    Not to mention the fact that you can overcome the force of gravity hot or not if the resultant force is upwards.

    Just to remind everyone of CERN.

    Fact is that at CERN religion is probably more focused then any church you can have in the world.
