30 Reasons Not To Put Your Faith In Science
by Douglas Stambler
30. The Atomic Bomb.
29. microwave ovens never heat evenly!
28. The food you eat today, might some day be eating you.
27. Do we really want to know what a monkey thinks?
26. Walt Disney is still frozen, isn't he?
25. The more we evolve, the faster we kill each other.
24. There are some people out there you just can't trust with a Bunsen burner.
23. science professors earn less than football coaches.
22. How many scientists does it take to screw in a light bulb? Too many: It takes a billion to build a bulb that works, and it takes almost as many to write the government grant to finance the experiment.
21. Douglas Adams died at the age of 49.
20. Darth Vader had all of science at his fingertips, and he still couldn't breathe through his mask!
19. Some day some researcher is going to come up with a theory that bacteria are as important as humans. And then we'll have to let it grow wherever it wants to.
18. Humans invented science. Watch out!
17. Just take a look at the graduate students in that field.
16. You can do more with smoke and mirrors than you can do with hypotheses and data.
15. Science is a balancing act between common sense and government grants.
14. Who wants to be known as having a B.S., anyway?
13. The collective intelligence of humankind is immeasurable.
12. Science can't solve what a handshake can.
11. God heals better than medicine does.
10. Mary Baker Eddy didn't put her faith in science: And now she's got her own newspaper!
9. You can sleep easier, knowing that there's no such thing as a Martian.
8. It's cheaper to die when your heart gets old, than to keep living on all those expensive machines they've got you hooked up to at the hospital.
7. Babies should come from mommies and daddies, not test tubes, Petri dishes and eye droppers.
6. NASA has yet to perfect freeze dried ice cream.
5. Because for every biologist out there, there exists plant mutation that makes all that schooling obsolete.
4. Four out of five scientists still drive petroleum-powered cars, even though they know that biking is better for all life on Earth.
3. If a baby doesn't think about gravity while throwing food at the dinner table, then why should the rest of us pay any attention to it?
2. Your 10th grade biology teacher never graduated high school.
1. Because Jesus Christ would rather you put your faith in Him.
