[2012-Mar-06] Creation Science Labs
I am new here do you just make a thread and come up with a title?
Anyway I must point out that today's strip is deeply misrepresentative of creationists. The final panel represents the "Creation Science Labs" as a trailer in the middle of nowhere with abandoned tires laying around.
As we can see from the website of Patriot University-- which awarded the PH.D of young-earth creationist luminary Kent Hovind-- the reality is quite different.
In fact the trailer in the middle of nowhere containing the real-life "creation science labs" is kept quite clean and has no abandoned tires at all, just some rocks and tumbleweeds, and the dumpster is well on the other side of the parking lot rather than being by the back door as Mr. Weiner implies.

Oh, but there isn't a proper description of what's inside the dumpster, that's where the babies go.

I have the strangest urge to play with fire around that facility.

What I do is change my opinion. I'm very pliable.

Re: [2012-Mar-6] Creation Science Labs
I'd be annoyed if I could be bothered to care that an unaccredited university awarded a doctorate in young earth creationism with no opportunity for peer review the dissertation. But Hovind's degree has about as much standing as a PHD in metaphysics from the Universal Life Church, so who cares? I really don't even have an issue with people espousing creationism and intelligent design as long as the refrain from calling it science.*

Hey some states (including Maryland I believe) recognize ordainment from the ULC enough to allow you to perform weddings. So that actually has some standing.Edminster wrote:As a minister in the ULC, I can say this is 100% correct.Kaharz wrote:But Hovind's degree has about as much standing as a PHD in metaphysics from the Universal Life Church, so who cares?

Yeah, I'm allowed to officiate marriages in the state of Maryland. This actually came up in Skype chat a couple days ago, and I since looked up the relevant laws. The thing I was thinking of where I needed someone to vouch that I am a minister was for officiating marriages in DC, and further the vouching has to be done by a resident of DC so sadly none of you guys could vouch for me.

I always wondered what people did in creationist scientist research facilities, I bet they just smoke a lot and watch tv.
