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.

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 more like sympathetic magic than Lysenko.

That's great! It sounds like a living Jack Chick tract doesn't it?

sign the Jesus is Gawrsh and he would thus be saved.....

Only if you look "Jewish" and the little prick arguing looks like a well
scrubbed Hitler Youth.
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 disagree with an erroneous belief that there are fewer ribs in women than

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....)

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.

Yeah, but it's a bittersweet humor, since I realize that this kid's going to

How do you tell the difference?
Mostly, I don't bother trying. Fundys are alien in thier "thought
processes", so I guess there's really not that much difference.

No, it would be useless. MK needs a neutrino detector. Only neutrinos
can pass through materials that dense.

I don't think so. I suggested MK to get the last EAC (ntie,oc)
Neutrino Detector Kit.

Are they always even numbers or are they cases of odd number of ribs?
pretending to use reason to disprove "erroneous beliefs" is.

maybe you are trying to ridicule their beliefs and they misunderstand

what is pathetic is your attempt to defend the obvious abuse of your

do you have an atheist number? if you do not, get one from michelle
malkin asp. that we it will be easier for me to distinguish you from
the slightier smarter atheists around here.
