Square

These past two weeks I have discovered that I am very naive and have apparently lived a very sheltered life. Some of my assignments for school have left me......well, speechless. Let's start with Physical Science Chapter 1. Before they could get into all the important stuff like the Scientific Method, the Laws of Motion, etc., etc. they devoted 2 whole pages to letting me know just how stupid I am for believing that creationism is the way the world began. The authors of this book do not think that astrology is accurate, but they say, "It does not seem very gracious for contemporary science to dismiss astrology in view of the great debt astronomy owes its practitioners of long ago." But they say, "putting evolution and Intelligent Design on the same footing is absurd because it suggests that they have the same intellectual status." (apparently Charles Darwin was way smarter than God. Who knew? *note sarcasm*) I have just never been exposed to that. In high school (and yes, I went to public school) we learned all about evolution, the big bang theory, etc. but all my teachers included that however it all came to be it was God who made it happen........Then last night I was assigned Aristophanes' Lysistrata. O MY! If you have never read this, DON'T! It is nothing more than a testament that perversion and porn are not new ideas.....they had all that in 400 B.C. too. I admit that I have watched (and enjoyed) far to many movies that I probably wouldn't have watched with my grandmother, much less Jesus, and I have sat through a couple of movies that I KNEW I should have just walked out of no matter how much I had paid for the ticket and popcorn. But Lysistrata was just plain vulgar and I have a hard time believing they actually talked like that during that time period, but maybe they did. I don't really care. Anyway........I know all this is supposed to be making me a well-rounded person, but honestly, I am pretty content just being square.
