   The fad is fading since its beginning, only at CoFSM things fade in reverse, so hide while you still aren’t surrounded by jolly Pastafarians, quick!

   @Jas
   Y’know, if you are attempting to insult us, you would probably have better luck with it if you weren’t so obviously stupid. Hopefully, the childish porn freaks on the internet fad will fade one day as well… that’ll only really happen if we can enact laws forbidding bottom-feeders such as yourself from breeding.

   @The Peter,

   remember this in your presidential campaign… I’ll vote for you if you can manage a way to prevent these losers from procreating. (By losers, I mean hungdaddy, Jas, and any others of their ilk.)

   This is somewhat off-topic; sorry.
   .
   High school science education has several commonalities with religious education. I am NOT denigrating science as a method of professional investigation of the natural world here; I am merely discussing how it is taught. I will use my 10th grade Chemistry class as a specific example of science education and Christianity as an example of religious education throughout this posting, because I am fairly familiar with both.
   .
   Students are expected to accept on faith the assertions of their textbooks and their teachers, and to trust that the professional scientists who discovered these theories and mathematical relationships were correct. Sometimes we do labs to derive a few of these things independently. For example, we recently did a lab to determine the heat it takes to melt a mole of ice. Our class found that it takes 5.13 kJ of heat to do so. However, the value published in our textbooks is 6.02 kJ. We by default considered that value the indisputable truth, and calculated how wrong we were (14.8% error)—as we do for practically all the labs we perform. This belief in the textbook’s perfection and denial of our own observations contains striking parallels to Christian acceptance of the Bible as Gospel that cannot be denied, altered, or argued against, no matter the contradictory evidence.
   .
   Also, we students frequently are asked to merely memorize concepts that we are told we cannot comprehend. When we learned about the structure of atoms, we were told that electrons move randomly and unpredictably within orbitals. These orbitals allegedly have precise shapes; the s orbitals are shaped like spheres, the p orbitals something like hourglasses, and the d and f orbitals like increasingly confusing topological nightmares. We were not told anything about why the electrons feel the need to hang out in these oddly-shaped areas. When I asked, the teacher said that it was based on wave equations that our class was too low-level to understand; however, on the test we had to describe the orbitals and their shapes. This bears a considerable resemblance to the Bible’s demand that Christians have faith in the existence of miracles, angels, and other concepts that are never fully explained.
   .
   So, science education and religious education are, even under the best of circumstances, not as diametrically opposite as you might like to believe. In both cases, young initiates must accept on faith the words of their pedagogues and their books. Certainly, the scientific consensus in the textbooks is arrived at by testing and retesting of theories by trained professionals with highly calibrated instruments… but still, we the high school kids must trust that the scientists were right, just as if we were learning Christianity we would have to trust that the prophets who wrote down their visions and experiences were right. From the point of view of the student, there is little difference.

   Denizens of the FSM site: Please comment intelligently on this stuff. I intend to steal (pirate?) your rebuttals and use them to debate with my friend Jordan, because it passes the time in Chemistry class when we’re not doing anything interesting. Yes, I’m too pathetic to think of my own arguments. I type much better than I talk.

   @Jordan and Mathy kid
   Well, I would say you should ask DutchPastaGuy. He is a genius, and would be able to explain the science questions really well… he could probably cite examples and papers and websites and everything. Seriously, the guy is a genius.
   .
   As for the whole being told your class is too low level to understand… I don’t know about that, but you should keep in mind that high schools (or at least the one I went to) don’t really have the kind of budget to purchase and maintain really high-level equipment. This could possibly account for your experiments turning out “wrong”, and for the fact that you don’t have the lab-capacity to properly experiment and observe the things that you are talking about. I don’t really know about this, though.

   DPG, where are you??

    It’s ok Paul we like hungraddys company. Good reminder of the devolution concept.
