Jesus and the Ambiguous Case Triangles
I found this post on PatriotBoy and almost peed my pants, it was so funny.
"If you are given the length of two sides and the angle measure opposite one of those sides, you can use the law of sines to solve the triangle. However, this does not always determine a unique triangle. As a result, it is called the ambiguous case. Ambiguous means open to multiple interpretations. Some people say that you can interpret the Bible in any way that you want. However, there is no ambiguity in the Bible."
No ambiguity in the bible???? Come on now. People argue all the time about what the bible means. It was written two thousand years ago in Latin or Hebrew, or something, and lots of chapters were taken out because those chapters told stories that the people in charge didn't want other people to read.
Does God hate homosexuality, or does he welcome everyone with open arms? I guess the people who wrote that textbook forgot that this is just one hot topic today, as far as interpreting the bible goes.
To think that the Christian schools are trying to mix in a little bible-thumping with math is too funny. I think math is hard enough without having to learn a bunch of crap along with it.
Now, if some states start teaching Creationism in public schools, will kids like me have to use these kinds of textbooks in public schools? Will we start 'learning' that there is no ambiguity in the bible along with whatever Pi-R-Squared is supposed to be?
