Back in July I read an AP article about teachers being forced to teach creationism in the public schools as an alternative to evolution and I sent my sister an email that said:

I’ve decided to start a movement to make public schools teach that the earth is carried through the sky on the back of a great turtle. I will explain that this is what I believe and therefore it should receive as much academic validation as their nutty idea that the earth is round and suspended in space, circling the sun, with nothing to hold it up or make it move! I mean, that’s just crazy! Right? There must be something out there carrying us around, regardless of what scientific research and calculations tell us.

Surely if schools are being made to teach creationism, they’ll have to teach this too. My turtle belief is just as valid and has just as much proof to back it up.

While we’re at it, maybe we should make Palm Reading a required course.

And, today, I found out about Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, so I’ve decided to become a Pastafarian.
