More God-Soaked Stupidity: "Clever Micah" |
Over at http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/, PZ Myers is perplexed at
how college-educated Christians can be so profoundly stupid:

"Her husband decided to ask their 4-year-old dog another
question, the square root of 25. Micah tapped his paw five times.
"To prove this wasn't a fluke, the couple and a friend tossed out
more math than teachers during exam time. Micah consistently pawed the
correct answers, appearing to solve such problems as square root
division, finding the numerators and denominators of fractions,
multiplying and dividing, even basic algebra."
Clearly these degreed imbeciles have never heard of Clever Hans:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_hans
Now if they're this stupid about something so readily refuted by
science, why on Earth should we believe a word they say about this god
of theirs?

No kidding. It's incredible what these people will believe.

No it's not, John, think about it. Only incredibly naive people would
continue to fall for the religious ***** in the first place. You
don't really expect religions to be composed of logical people, do
you?

No. But just when I think they've reached the ultimate limits of their
credulity, they always manage to surprise me.
