Following on from Ed’s Gloria Jeans revelation, fundamentalist nutjobs certainly seem to be thick on the ground at the moment. One called Brita Stream (is it just me or does that sound like a water filtration product?) is doing the rounds as a guest speaker, peddling the claim that abortion causes breast cancer. Just like evolutionary science causes brain tumours and not donating to Hillsong causes leprosy. Brita is eminently qualified on matters scientific: she was Miss Oregon 2002, after all.

A loosely-connected bit of weirdness… News Limited reports that Queensland is the UFO-sighting hub of Australia, with more than 100 of last year’s 128 sightings coming from there. The Glasshouse Mountains is listed as an alien ‘hotspot’ so I’m curious about whether authorities have received information about any “U;F;O;s”. Good to see also from the online story that News is recruiting its picture subs from the Chaser.

“Anal; probes”?

Abortion supposedly causing cancer (and there are studies that show that there is no correlation thereby no reason to suspect causation) is just more pseudo-science designed to introduce a political wedge into “the materialist world view”.

See the wedge strategy.

Isn’t Queensland the hub of creationism in Australia, and wasn’t creationism once taught in schools there in the 70s or 80s?

Apparently evolution fades the curtains.

How can these Hillsongers argue against a relic from the Cretaceous Period like the Big Pineapple? Where the hell did they think the came from? Evidence enough for me.

Queenslanders follow God’s advice to love all the little creatures. Except they kill cane toads. And the odd aborigine.
