Via [livejournal.com profile] treebones: "Join the movement to have faerie chainism taught in schools!" Just because objects fell downward yesterday and every day during the life of every being who has ever lived to report about it does not mean it did so before that; and it doesn't mean objects won't fall some other direction tomorrow. Having discredited the theory of gravitation we now can demand equal time for the theory of chains of faeries pulling everything toward the earth.

As anyone knows, a theory is just an unsupported speculation that has not yet been looked into. And yet to this day the entire global scientific community refers to it as the "theory" of gravity. Why just look at Wikipedia's entire page of theories, like heliocentric theory in which the earth orbits the sun instead of vice versa. These are all accepted with overwhelming unanimity by this global community of frauds called scientists, who obviously got into the science biz in order to engage in a massive conspiracy to conceal faeries. And yet they give themselves away by referring to them as theories, so now we can tell the schoolchildren that scientists really support faerie chainism.

Remember, we must always refer to the theory of gravitation as "Newton's theory" and "Newtonists," just like we do with "Darwin's theory" and "Darwinists," because that way we can make it clear that we're disputing one crackpot person and his blind followers instead of disputing with reality itself.

People aren't going to buy it. Pseudoscience has become much more sophisticated these days. In other words, you need to throw in a dose of jargon to make people think that you are talking over their heads.

We've all heard of "string theory", right? What non-physicist can explain string theory? Very few, I'd imagine. Well, what the physicists aren't telling people is that these "strings" are, in fact, the faerie chains of which you speak. "Can you disprove it?", I proclaim to the unwashed masses, "Do you have an advanced degree in (insert impressive sounding yet unrelated field here)? No? Well, then, at the very least it deserves equal space in our children's textbooks, right?"

The debate over on your friend's LJ with the supporter of creationism/intelligent design is setting my teeth on edge.

Heretic!

Everyone knows that it is Flying Spaghetti Monsterism that must be taught in schools!
