Wow

I just read someone's admission that he corrects his child's facts regarding whether or not dinosaurs and people lived at the same time. The child is correct in stating that dinosaurs lived before people did here on earth. He told the child he was wrong and pointed the child to some passage in the Bible that supposedly supercedes all scientific/geologic evidence produced in the 2000+ years since as proof.

I find that to be a form of child abuse. Even my very religious mother...hell, even the moribund, corrupt, and totalitarian Vatican...weren't/aren't that batshit crazy.

I feel very sorry for that child, growing up without useful knowledge. Either he will be ignorant forever or he will figure out that his parents lied to him repeatedly and willfully his entire life. That can't make for a happy adult either way.
