The Onion: Theory of Intelligent Falling

Posted by shughes Mon, 22 Aug 2005 22:39:00 GMT

The Onion has hit comedy gold again with this article…

Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New ‘Intelligent Falling’ Theory

“Anti-falling physicists have been theorizing for decades about the ‘electromagnetic force,’ the ‘weak nuclear force,’ the ‘strong nuclear force,’ and so-called ‘force of gravity,’” Burdett said. “And they tilt their findings toward trying to unite them into one force. But readers of the Bible have already known for millennia what this one, unified force is: His name is Jesus.”

The strength of my laughter is slightly dullened by how scarily accurate this article is to the actual arguments made by the ‘Intelligent Design’ religionists. The Onion did such a very good job in constructing their argument for ‘Intelligent Falling’ that this article could be refiled as an amicus brief, to help defend Evolution against the (equally silly) ‘Intelligent Design’ theory.
