Holy Shit: God Tube

You read it right, now you have something to watch while you're munching down on your Bible Bars. It's GodTube, a religious YouTube.

Please do not misunderstand, I AM NOT ridiculing anyones faith. Believe all you want in whatever you want as much as you want. So long as you're not bugging me I don't give a squeeze. (Which is far more benevolent than "Christians" are about things like... oh, I don't know, gay marriage. But whatevs.)

I do, however, reserve the right to ridicule thinking that flies in the face of science, fact and logic. And that brings us to Chatting with Charley:

Seriously, did I miss the NASA scientists being "distressed" when they found out that Saturn's rings were braided and banded? I must've missed the press release. Nonetheless, it's a wee bit irksome when creationists try to throw science back in the face of evolution to try and prove it wrong. As though miscalculations in astrophysics and geologic hypotheticals not matching up means that there was a literal global flood.

It's a fascinating tack to take, as though if you speak slowly and deliberately and pepper your statements with scientific jargon, somehow your massive leaps in logic will somehow connect. An actual scientist (as in one that isn't working for a particular agenda) can rip these theories a new a-hole. But it's more disturbing to think about the people who watch this without a critical eye and give Charley the last word on the matter.

Scary stuff.
