Creationist "Science" Fair -- "My Uncle Is Not a Monkey!"
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 01:20 PM by villager
The 2001 Fellowship Baptist Creation Science Fair was held on April 16th and great fun was had by all in attendance. Fellowship is proud to be host to one of the largest Creation Science Fairs in the country, this year we had over 200 students present their projects. This is also the first year that Muslim students from the Al-Jannah Islamic school have been invited to participate; two of their students presented a project on human anatomy entitled "Allah (SWT) Created Me" which, while it was found ineligible for a prize due to a number of Biblical inconsistencies, did win a special Interfaith Outreach ribbon.

Below is listed the winners of the major prizes in the three age groups. Space doesn't permit us to list all the many projects presented, however they were all of high quality and academic excellence. Remember kids, just because you didn't win a ribbon, doesn't mean you lost: when it comes to studying the works of the Lord, there are no losers! My special thanks to the staff of the FBCSF who helped compile this report.

- Dr. Richard Paley

2001 Prize Winners:
Elementary School Level

Cassidy Turnbull and her uncle, Steve, who is not a monkey according to Cassidy's research. 1st Place: "My Uncle Is A Man Named Steve (Not A Monkey)"

Cassidy Turnbull (grade 5) presented her uncle, Steve. She also showed photographs of monkeys and invited fairgoers to note the differences between her uncle and the monkeys. She tried to feed her uncle bananas, but he declined to eat them. Cassidy has conclusively shown that her uncle is no monkey.

8. The thing is
the satire in this site is more subtle.

Landoverbaptist is pretty clearly a spoof.

Check out this website's tirade over anti-triclavianism to get an idea it's a spoof.


I also seem to remember reading that somebody did a search and founf that landoverbaptist and this site are owned by the same person, but i could just be making that up in my memory.
