None Dare Call It Ordinary

This episode continues our series on the science textbook Brent used in his 9th grade science class: Science of the Physical Creation in Christian Perspective by DeWitt Steele and Gregory Parker. We cover Christian disagreements over Pangaea and plate tectonics, the real explanation for the fossil record, the elongated earth theory of mountains and oceans, and just how Noah managed to get so many animals on the ark.

This bonus episode covers the December 2020 news story about Dr. Chaim Eshed, the former head of Israel's space program, supposedly revealing to the world that humanity was working together with aliens who formed a "Galactic Federation" and hid an underground base on Mars. We reveal that the real story is the shoddy journalism and translation errors that led to UFO clickbait obscuring a book about this fascinating man's life.

This bonus episode covers three stories about the weird and wild world of measurement. The first is the battle between two foots: the U.S. Survey Foot and the International Foot. The second is America's ongoing "height modernization" which will shorten some of our favorite mountains and upset Colorado. Lastly, we cover the retirement of Le Grand K, a sad hunk of metal underneath Paris that used to be the standard kilogram.

This episode covers the degeneracy theory of acclaimed 18th century naturalist Comte de Buffon, who argued that the cold and wet American environment was not conducive to growing giant mammals. His greatest nemesis was none other than Thomas Jefferson, who would stop at nothing, including shipping a decaying moose across the Atlantic, to teach these French snobs that that Mammalian Americans (are) Great Already.

This bonus episode covers Cliven Bundy, the Nevada cattle rancher who for twenty years allowed his cattle to graze on federally administered grasslands without paying grazing fees. In other words, Cliven Bundy demanded welfare from the government and stole from taxpayers. He was so insistent on suckling from the government teat that he instigated an armed stand-off with the Bureau of Land Management, which led to . . . absolutely no consequences for Cliven. God bless America.
