Christian Right Lobbies To Overturn Second Law Of Thermodynamics.

[NNadir]

TOPEKA, KS--The second law of thermodynamics, a fundamental scientific principle stating that entropy increases over time as organized forms decay into greater states of randomness, has come under fire from conservative Christian groups, who are demanding that the law be repealed.



"What do these scientists want us teaching our children? That the universe will continue to expand until it reaches eventual heat death?" asked Christian Coalition president Ralph Reed, speaking at a rally protesting a recent Kansas Board Of Education decision upholding the law. "That's hardly an optimistic view of a world the Lord created for mankind. The American people are sending a strong message here: We don't like the implications of this law, and we will not rest until it has been reversed in the courts."

The controversial law of nature, which asserts that matter continually breaks down as disorder increases and heat is lost, has long been decried by Christian fundamentalists as running counter to their religion's doctrine of Divine grace and eternal salvation.

1. Um, why would that even be necessary at the Kansas Capitol? Isn't that

preaching to the choir?

[Deja Q]

2. Until I saw that pic, I'd have sworn all that is a bizarre joke...

BTW: I think they get laid less than I do. Which is quite the statement once you think about it...

3. Repeal the Law of Gravity! Repeal the Laws of Motion!

The Earth is Flat! :sarcasm: That is idiocy in its purest form. And some of the idiots are pictured to prove that. :rofl:

4. Especially the law of gravity. It is preventing me from getting to Pluto

Pluto, suffering with the consequences of demotion, needs comfort too.

[NewWaveChick1981]

5. Damn that Law of Gravity! Pluto NEEDS you!

:hug:

6. uhh this is satire

but it's pretty sad that it doesn't seem a far stretch from the truth

[NNadir]

7. It is not far from satire.

One must doubt many important laws of physics and chemistry to doubt the age of the earth.

8. Yeah, I could have sworn that this was an old article from The Onion.

End of Line.

[Fox Mulder]

9. At the end of the article:

Note the above is a joke and not a real news report!

[Lethe]

10. i knew this was satire because the quotes are way too intelligent

pretty funny.

11. absolute zero(s)

[tigereye]

12. I wish they would all go live in Flatland

or some other conceptualization of their own making, and leave the rest of us alone.

:eyes:

on edit, it may be satire, but I bet it ain't far from it.

You guys got me. :spank:

13. too close to the truth for comfort...

however -- i think that if my idea to protest conservative mega churches on sundays ever catches on -- THOSE are the kinds of signs to bring....
