Borowitz

Well I have to say I stumbled on this because I've never read anything of Andy Borowitz's. He's a satire writer for CNN and NPR. He wrote this one and I can't stop laughing about it. Apparently some school in Georgia stopped teaching the law of gravity.
“The law of gravity supposedly began when Sir Isaac Newton saw an apple fall off a tree,” Mr. Leverall said. “We think students are entitled to know that another way an apple comes off a tree is if a talking serpent tells a naked woman to take a bite from it.”But after coming under fire for the stickers, Mr. Leverall said that the district decided to stop teaching the law of gravity entirely, and was now moving to ban the teaching of the law of supply and demand, as well as Murphy’s Law.“There’s absolutely no proof that Murphy’s Law is true, except maybe Iraq,” said Mr. Leverall."

Since when is Murphy's Law taught in school? Anyhow, I figured this would bring up a good discussion if anyone wanted to have it. What's the deal with religion overshadowing facts. And here's my devil's advocate to any solid on the religious side, what about the facts of science takes away from the inspiration of theological ideas? On the other argument, why should my child be forced to learn that the world was created by billions of years of evolution whenI know god just spun it all in 7 days? Discuss.
