--a true story from last week

Student: Women have an extra rib.

Mr. Knievel: No, they have the same number as men.

Student: Huh uh, it says so in the Bible.

Mr. Knievel: The Bible says no such thing.

Student: Uh huh, Eve was made out of one of Adam's ribs.

Mr. Knievel: Well, that is in the book of Genesis, but that's not the same
thing as saying that women IN GENERAL have one more rib than men IN GENERAL.
We can observe this...it's a fact.

Student: But they do.

Mr. Knievel: No, we can count the ribs of men and women and see that they
are the same--understand?

Student: Scientists don't know nothing.

Mr. Knievel: They can COUNT TO TWELVE, CAN'T THEY!?!?!?!?

Student: Maybe the rib is invisible.

Mr. Knievel: Sit down and don't talk to me for the rest of the day.

I was going to suggest a chest X-ray, but maybe you should x-ray the guy's

That's right, we don't know nothing -- we know a great deal. Including proper
grammar, and *especially* including logic skills.

ROTFL!!!

This guy is extremely dense, but try this: ask him whether the son
of someone whose arm was amputated will be born with half an
arm --- and then reiterate, THE BIBLE SAYS NO SUCH THING
that males have one pair of ribs less. It is said to work on the worst
fundie.

I remembered hearing a story a while back about a farmer who raised
turkeys with jeweled turbans in the hope that the chicks would be born
with turbans and he could collect the jewels. Sounds too funny to be
true, though.

The funny thing is, the number of ribs varies in the
population. Its not at all uncommon to find people
short a pair of ribs or to have an extra pair.

Well you could try the following approach.

The bible never states that Eve is created with the same number
of ribs, Adam had originally. Reading the Genesis story it is
very well possible that God took a rib from Adam and created Eve
with the same number of ribs Adam had left.

That's great! It sounds like a living Jack Chick tract doesn't it?
The only thing missing would be Chick's moral to the story where Mr.
Knievel would take the student's stubborn insistence on stupidity as a
sign the Jesus is Gawrsh and he would thus be saved.....

Tip: Make sure you yell loudly at the student, sweat visibly, and
always punctuate your arguments with the phrase "Haw haw haw." That
way, you can sound just like the teachers in Jack Chick tracts.

Only if you look "Jewish" and the little prick arguing looks like a well

Kids leave those things on the floors of the hallway all the time.

The same student (Rib Boy) has also claimed that Halloween is "the devil's
birthday," and stated that he was going to dress up as Jesus for Halloween.

He screwed up the story of Jesus expelling the moneychangers from the temple
by stating that they were kids selling candy for a school fundraiser!

He claims to be an expert jeweler, and that he is allowed to check out M-16s
from the nearby army base because he is in ROTC.

Everyday I anxiously await his howlingly funny lies and delusions.

I like the "invisible rib" copout. I'm sure if I had kept this going, he
would have claimed that the invisible rib also had no mass, no dimensions,
and was completely indistinguishable from a non-existent rib...

I disagree with an erroneous belief that there are fewer ribs in women than
in men. Perhaps you have other observable evidence to consider?

So I should let them labor under delusions and live in ignorance?

You're joking, right? Insisting that women and men have the same
number of ribs is atheistic? I learn something new every day.

Here's one for you: Insisting the observable facts aren't true because
of a bible story, taught as a joke to kids, is fundamental! (As in
fundamentally stupid. Fundamentally wrong. Fundamentally the sort of
thing I expect a fundamentalist to get worked up about....)

no. you should respect their religious beliefs and stop prosiletising

Using reason to disprove erroneous beliefs is not proselytizing. You'd be
surprised to learn that my students all seem to think I'm a big church-going
Christian for some reason. Your wild jumping to conclusions and bizarre
sense of what happened in the dialogue I presented would be funny if not so
pathetic.

This is a very smart student. He or she has learned at an early age
the fundamental strategy of defending theism:

Theist: I have a wonderful friend who all-powerful, all-wise, and
all-good.

maybe you are trying to ridicule their beliefs and they misunderstand

what is pathetic is your attempt to defend the obvious abuse of your
position to advance your atheistic agenda...

do you have an atheist number? if you do not, get one from michelle
