Hasta La Gadget!

On Gearlog, you’ll find a lot of coverage of the latest in the world of science and technology. But too often we neglect to cover the wide world of pseudo-science: power crystals, Yeti sightings, newest theories on the plane-eating aqua monsters who control the Bermuda Triangle.

Our bad.

So, in order to help correct this inherent bias towards logic and reason, here’s a video which incorporates audio from the popular radio program, Creation Moments. It’s like American Top 40 for home-school kids and rural hermits.

In this clip, the host brings up the point that astronomers–unexpectedly–found higher concentrations of light gases in the planet Jupiter than expected. 

Now, we could wait for Satan’s science nerds to go through their process of hypothesizing and testing to explain this allocation of gases in the solar system. But that would be boring. And it would be just as easy to find some bible passage that mentions words like “sun” or “star” and stretch its context and meaning beyond all recognition. And we have one! First Corinthians 15:41-49: “There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and
another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in
glory.”

Bam! So, now that the bible has been proven literally true, there’s no way we could have descended from a common ancestor to monkeys. Theory of Evolution, consider yourself pwned.

To most, that may seem like a desperate logical jump to support the literal truth of the translation of a 2,000-year-old text. But it’s what a frighteningly large minority takes as their basis for reality.
