The Onion: Evangelicals Refute Theory of Gravity

The Onion: As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arises: 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 w/ a new theory of Intelligent Falling. Founded in 1987, the ECFR is the world's leading institution of evangelical physics, a branch of physics based on literal interpretation of the Bible: "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. Yes, we laugh at this satire, but it is sadly true. And yet we wonder why nations like India and China far surpass us in science-based technologies.
