Creation Science Fair

Parody-proof. But it's not interesting enough.
 
A parody site you cannot be sure is parody. That has to be the best of all and a statment of truth about the subject. One way I found to check this site was to use google to see who is linking INTO the site. (outward links really tell you nothing). Did anyone else hit this link on the site:

http://objective.jesussave.us/babyj.html

You click on the face first with the left mouse button then with the right.
 
Oh, I can see it with Internet Explorer. It's a Flash animation, which I have Mozilla set to block.

OK, now THAT just kicks ass! I love it.

What do you all think: should that be the word or what?

(Realsatire just sounds like 'real satire' - 2 English words glued together. German sounding words are much cooler)
 
I don't know - I just took apart the two German words I knew, doppelganger and schadenfreude, and rearranged them as best I could. I think it would mean "shameful double," which isn't too far from what we're talking about.
 

Patricia Lewis (grade 8) did an experiment to see if life can evolve from non-life. Patricia placed all the non-living ingredients of life - carbon (a charcoal briquet), purified water, and assorted minerals (a multi-vitamin) - into a sealed glass jar. The jar was left undisturbed, being exposed only to sunlight, for three weeks. (Patricia also prayed to God not to do anything miraculous during the course of the experiment, so as not to disqualify the findings.) No life evolved. This shows that life cannot come from non-life through natural processes.

You must need the mystical, magical, woo-woo powers of chance and time (CAT) to make things work.

You know, that definition actually fits 'parody' to a T: a 'double' that deals 'damage'. A distorted mirror held up to an original.

Perhaps with the German meaning of the word: they truely ARE doubles, and can't be told apart. Fred Phelps and Landover Baptist: which is the parody? Which is the original?

Doppelschaden!

There is a good word for this in German: Realsatire. It means reality making a parody (well, satire...) of itself. Isn't that the concept?

If this is indeed the correct meaning for this, who am I to gainsay the Germans? But: can someone give me a link in English? All the websites I've found are German.

I think doppleschaden kicks ass though. If not that, a Danish or French word would be good to. Hint hint Clause!
 
I'm not convinced (anymore) that this is a parody site. I dug into some of the links, and they are all just sincere Christian sites. I emailed one of them asking if they knew of this place that linked to them, but didn't get a response.

It's definitely not as obviously a parady as Landover Baptist. So for people who are convinced it's a parody - what do you base that on?

I've tried following the links posted here, but I only get an advert for free web hosting. What's wrong?

I've got nothing new since the last time I gave my reasons, but I shall resummarise:

- only about two of the email addresses for the various authors were real.

- googling for any of the people or the other churches/organisations they purport to represent comes up with no information, apart from links back to the site

- This site was originally hosted on a Christian webserver but got booted off

- The anti-evolution guy has the surname 'Paley'.

- one of the banner ads was to a porn site
 
I keep getting the web hosting page -

Anyway - from memory there should be a page ranting at the evils of our commercialised Christmas which features a very familiar-looking Santa Claus. Can anyone confirm this?

Oh, BTW - it's definitely a spoof.
