More staff cuts at the Arkham Asylum

Publishing a story about religious pseudoscience in Russia seems to be bait for loons, for lurking in the spam trap was a comment plugging a religious book. I'm not going to give spammers publicity, so identifying details have been removed.

THE NEW DISCIPLINE!

Things will never be the same in academia after this.

There is a new discipline on the scene: physical science, the old science of cause and effect.

Against the backdrop of a nation embroiled in debate and legal battles over whether creationism or evolution, or both, should be taught in the classroom, [Redacted] proclaims a

DAY OF VICTORY!

[Redacted], a series of seven textbooks designed for the public schools, represents the ultimate marriage between an in-depth knowledge of biblical phenomena and natural and physical sciences. As a result, the several volumes have accomplished that which, heretofore, was deemed impossible: to level the playing field between those who desire a return to physical science in the classroom and those who embrace the theory of evolution. [Redacted] turns the tide by providing an authoritative and en- lightening scientific explanation of natural phenomena which will ultimately replace the unprofitable Darwinian view.

The backbone of Darwinism is not biological evolution per se, but electronic interpretation, the tenet that all physical, chemical, and biological processes result from a change in the electron structure of the atom which, in turn, may be deciphered through the orderly application of mathematics, as outlined in quantum mechanics. A few of the supporting theories are: degrading stars, neutron stars, black holes, extraterrestrial water, antimatter, the absolute dating systems, and the big bang, the explosion of a singularity infinitely smaller than the dot of an �i� from which space, time, and the massive stellar bodies supposedly sprang into being.

The philosophy rejects any divine intervention. Therefore, let the philosophy of Darwinism be judged on these specifics: electron interpretation and quantum mechanics. Conversely, the view that God is both responsible for and rules all the phenomena of the universe will stand or fall when the facts are applied. The view will not hinge on faith alone, but will be tested by the weightier principle of verifiable truths � the new discipline.

[Redacted] is not only better at explaining natural phenomena, but also may be verified through testing. As a result, the material in the several volumes will not violate the so-called constitutional separation of church and state. Physical science, the old science of cause and effect, will have a long-term sustainability, replacing irresponsible doctrines based on whim. Teachers and students will rejoice in the simplicity of earthly phenomena when entertained by the new discipline. You will not want to miss the adventure of a lifetime that awaits you in Volume 1 of [Redacted].

All those question marks are because the author, whose name is on the comment, has managed to write a series of books without being able to read, and so copied and pasted his comment straight from Microsnot Turd.

If you really want to know more, I'm sure Googling on some of the choice phrases here will prove productive. I dread to think what will happen in comments to the same story over at Newsvine.
