As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held "theory of gravity" is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling.

"Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University.

Burdett added: "Gravity - which is taught to our children as a law - is founded on great gaps in understanding. The laws predict the mutual force between all bodies of mass, but they cannot explain that force. Isaac Newton himself said, 'I suspect that my theories may all depend upon a force for which philosophers have searched all of nature in vain.' Of course, he is alluding to a higher power."

Ah, I see The Onion posted early this week...

I can't even read it. I know it's a joke, I know it's the Onion, I know it shows up the inherent stupidity of the ID crowd, I know it's probably brilliantly written, and I can't even bring myself to read it. My hands start to shake.

You can tell this issue hits just a little too close to me, can't you...

This one didn't cath me. But then, the evolutionist sites I've been frequenting have been writing satires like this for the last while.

Still, some days...

Wow, this reminds me of when one of my teachers in high school applied the "Little Man" theory about gravity in order to help explain what a theory was.

There's this little man in the middle of the earth who has an invisible, intangible string attached to everything on the surface. If something tries to go up, he pulls it back down.
