I can't tell the Discovery Channel from the Discovery Institute anymore
I was watching something on them over the weekend when I saw an ad for something called "Curiosity" and hoped it might be a new science based show..Well here's the question they are dealing with in it..."Did God Create the Universe"?. AAAAGH. Okay, I can maybe see asking "How was the universe created", but to state it that way indicates its NOT going to be a scientific evalutaion its going to be woowoo pseudoscientific pandering it sounds like. I'm really getting tired of the watering down of what used to be good somewhat educational channels to just plain idiotic pandering.

1. I saw that too and almost shit myself
I saw the advertisement on the Science channel - is that where this POS show is going to end up?

They might as well have titled it "Did small gnomes build the earth out of chunks of god's turds?"

2. zOMG! You know about turdism?
I've been saying for years that small gnomes built the Earth out of chunks of God's turds! It's in the Bible too, provided you read it right.

3. Discovery has gone to Hell since about 1999.
