The Stupid! It Burns!

20 December 2008  

The Internet is full of idiocy. However, I don’t think I’ve seen so much concentrated retardedness by one single person (at least since Time Cube) as I have in Spotlight on Creation by Harry Moore.

Tortoise with a rabbit's headIf evolution were true, in-between creatures like this [tortoise with a rabbit's head] would be everywhere, instead of non-existent. — Harry Moore

Read it, and you’re sure to either piss yourself laughing, or cry at the realisation of the depths that lunacy can reach.

Oh, and check out the letter to Time magazine. I really do hope they publish it just so this wingnut is paraded in front of the non-Internet reading world as an example of all that can and does go wrong when edumacation goes awry and myths are taken as fact.

If nothing else, it’s a perfect opportunity to play a round or three of spot the logical fallacy.

Have fun!

    He's a fellow Georgian, too. We breed 'em smart down here! Thanks for HT.

    Harry Moore's web site is a wonder to behold. I'm surprised the guy survived childhood. Trying to discuss evolution with people who won't bother to find out basic facts about the theory is exhausting, to say the least.

    OT: do you know if that cartoon character has a Saturday morning show?

    I wouldn't be surprised if he (although appearing to have made it through adolescence) has issues in sitting the right way around on a toilet.

    And I reckon it probably does, most likely on one of the god channels in Texas or something equally insane.

There's probably no god.  Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.
