The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New "Intelligent Falling" Theory

I used to find the Onion amusing. Very amusing. They've definitely gone downhill in the last ~5 years, but I'll give them ^5 for this gem.

Gravity—which is taught to our children as a law—is founded on great gaps in understanding. The laws predict the mutual force between all bodies of mass, but they cannot explain that force. Isaac Newton himself said, 'I suspect that my theories may all depend upon a force for which philosophers have searched all of nature in vain.' Of course, he is alluding to a higher power.

I don't guess I will be mentioning this in class this fall.
