The answer to the moon's beginning question is seriously "WERE U THERE."

So they trick people into thinking spectroscopy and dating methods don't exist AND get money out of it. Nice try, BJU. Unfortunate initials as well. What a scam...

I personally liked the odd glacier explanation and the disclaimer at the end myself.

That doesn't sound like a particularly helpful textbook, no matter what side of the argument you are on.
I've read an interesting book that scientifically explains some of the stories from Biblical times. Of course, like all scientific theories there is usually no way to prove them 100%, but I was certainly impressed by the amount of evidence collected. Might be better to start from a different book if the subject interests you (unless you'd just like a giggle, which I certainly managed to achieve by reading the blog post). ^^

Nah, the subject doesn't really interest me. I just like giggles.

or well, it interests me inasmuch as i'm now interested to see what Sciences 1-3 are like since this book was Science 4 and what other books from the same publisher (since the post indicated it wasn't the only one) might be like. Oh man I love stuff like this

There's a reason every christian homeschooling family I know avoided Bob Jones science textbooks like the plague.

Who's idea was it to just say "we don't know what electricity is, we just utilize it incredibly efficiently and the existence of society today as we know it just happens to depend almost entirely on its use"? Like, of all the things to say is unknown, why choose the single most important and one of the most well-understood aspects of physics? Also how did somebody even come up with the idea that electricity comes from the sun?

These kids have the cool idea of playing for John Williams outside of his house and he actually comes out and talks to them :P

You know it's hot outside when you melt the pavement with your flamethrower before you burn the weed you're pointing at it.

Trying to argue science? What? It's not a debate, you sort of need to find something called proof and do something called research. I've heard of people using the Bible for some archaeology and a guess about some scientific event, but usually it's not useful enough to be used in place of a real science book. Like when some Chinese astronomers recorded the first supernova, we have a record of the date, a good observation of the event, where it took place in the sky...and detailed enough for it not to be confused with another event.

I thought the moon one was absurd because one of my favorite things to read about is astronomy and that was just pathetic. Pretty sure a degree from there wouldn't be worth a paper it's printed on.

The electricity and the disclaimer lololol. Ever been struck by lightning? Why do buildings need lightning rods? Why shouldn't you drop a hair dryer in the bathtub?

I got issue 43 of ONM because I thought they reviewed Klonoa in it, but they didn't...?

You mean a thing that happened some time ago is older now and it's suddenly dawning on you that an equal amount of time has passed for you as well? How revolutionary.

Eyy, I just reached 100 subscribers! Pretty good! Thinking of making some sort of 100 subs special, although it'll probably just be a regular arrangement video, but somewhat more flashier and more well-done.
