Online, you buy a single book read it and send it back for the next person, no test necessary for that PhD. You also have to take a brief test online:
What is irreducible complexity?
Why is God so fantasically great?
5 reasons to kill witchs and Islam?

You get the point.

Creationists on a Georgia school board put a disclaimer in a school science text book saying: “Evolution is a theory, not a fact.”

They were right about Evolution being a theory, but they failed to mention all the other scientific theories, none of which is a fact. They failed because they don’t understand the meaning of the words “fact”, “theory”, or “science”. They are both ignorant and stupid.

To avoid such mistakes in the future, I have written the following:

A UNIVERSAL SCIENCE TEXTBOOK DISCLAIMER

This disclaimer is to be inserted inside the cover of all science textbooks. Your science textbook is a collection of theories. A theory is not a fact. The purpose of this disclaimer is (1) to explain the difference between a theory and a fact and (2) to explain the possible presence of false theories in this textbook.

A fact is something that can be proven to be true. A scientific theory is never a fact. A scientific theory cannot be proven to be true in the mathematical sense - by deduction. A scientific theory is a statement that can always be disproved by observed data. It is always possible that newly observed data will disprove any theory. Any statement that cannot be disproved by observed data is not a scientific theory.

Even when a theory has been disproved, you may still find it in your textbook. For example, Albert Einstein’s theory of Relativity has disproved Sir Isaac Newton’s theory of Gravitation. Yet, Newton’s theory may still be in your textbook because it teaches you about the history of science, because it still leads to reliable computations for most engineering purposes, and because you are not ready for the theory of Relativity,.

Acceptance of a theory by scientists is always a tentative matter. For example: one theory states: “Light is transmitted by electromagnetic waves”. Another theory states: “Light is transmitted by photons.” For a time, these theories were considered to be contradictory, with at least one of them false. However, the Quantum theory found later that they are not contradictory. Both theories may be found in your textbook.

Even when a theory has not been proven false, the student should approach it with an attitude of skepticism. For example, the theory of the Conservation of Energy and Mass and the theory of the Conservation of Momentum are both corroborated by a massive array of experimental data. However, that does not mean that the theories have been proven to be true. It is conceivable that observed data will prove them to be false and a better theory, as yet undiscovered, may some day account for the data.

The same warning applies to the theory of Evolution, which is corroborated by much geological data, fossil remains, and laboratory results. It is conceivable that a better theory will some day account for the data.

However, in a science textbook or in a science class you will not find a theory of “intelligent design” claiming that an “intelligent designer” created some or all of Nature. It is not included because nobody has yet designed an experiment capable of disproving such a “theory” by observed data. Until that happens, it is not a scientific theory.

You may now use your science textbook without further concern. Have fun!

Cambridge is being accused of being bought off by using Creationist agencies; in the final couple of months the college has gained donations in way over 600 and 66 million money from the Institute for creation learn. money accrued from dummies to pay somebody to pretend it. pretend it? sure this fact became right into a pretend - It blew its conceal while it used the huge style 666.

Landover Baptist University has a whole Creation Science Department. (Men only, though--women are directed to degree tracks in Housewifery.)

I think you can get them in the Museum Store at the Creation Museum in Kentucky....they sell all kinds of BS in that place.
