cosmology conspiracy

Apparently Standard Model cosmology is some sort of a Pharisee conspiracy.
Dearie me.

So, of course, they say, is evolution.
And given this astonishing revelation, the person in question feels it better no cosmology or evolution be taught.
Just to be safe.

This would certainly simplify life for some of us teaching in the sciences, but it might violate the spirit of the American Competitiveness Initiative...

"Indisputable evidence -- long hidden but now available to everyone -- demonstrates conclusively that so-called 'secular evolution science' is the Big-Bang 15-billion-year alternate 'creation scenario' of the Pharisee Religion," the memo says.

From Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Oh, and the Earth doesn't move either!

Pharisees!? - darned splitters.

We should probably have suspected when some wag decided to call it the "Concordance Cosmology", eh? ;-)
Preposterous Universe indeed.

Sometimes I really do despair of people.

I thought that the Knights of the Round Table, who dance whene'er they're able, told us that we know the Earth to be banana shaped?

Oh, and that if you weigh the same as a duck, you must be a witch.
