Of course, everyone in Texas is a moron. Apparently.

I was just notified that one of the people working for Texas Citizens for Science (the good guys) will be discussing the Chris Comer incident with someone from the Texas Freedom Network (more good guys).

I clicked this in my RSS feed expecting some cool new evidence that overturns the current physics model of the universe. How sadly disappointed I was.
I'd like to motion that we have "avid discussion" to take place in math classrooms about whether pi is equal to 3.141[....], and strike that language and replace it with "current theories about the number pi being equal to a little over 3, or 'almost 3'."
Jason,
Don't you understand the spiritual significance of the number 3? God is 3 persons that are all the same. Jesus died on a Friday evening and 3 days later on Sunday morning he arose. The circle's circumferance is 3 times as long as its diameter. Etc. Can't you see that it's all spiritually interconnected??? It is at the heart of Christianity!
If we were to allow schools to teach that Ï is what mathematicians say it is, kids would be learning that the heart of Christianity is ... irrational! Obviously math doesn't have all the answers. Our children need to be taught the strengths and weaknesses of arithmetic "theory".
I was going to call Science Pundit a Poe, but... well... his argument is totally sound.
